Didier Jardin, General Manager of the resort spoke at the opening ceremony, along with the Minister of State for Tourism Dr. Abdulla Niyaz and Tropicsurf owner and founder Ross Phillips.

This event has been ongoing for the last 13 years, with Four Seasons Kuda Huraa having been in partnership with Tropicsurf since the year 2000. Four Seasons Kuda Huraa was Tropicsurf’s first resort of choice in Maldives, with the surf company having been creating experiences for guests as well as trying to connect the resort with international surfing champions around the world. Tropicsurf and Four Seasons Kuda Huraa have also been encouraging Maldivian youth to hone their surfing talents and participate in tournaments.

Their partnership allows hospitality and surfing experiences to thrive in a unique setting, where the resort also focuses on bringing in guests who have interest in surfing. Most of the guests who travelled to the resort this time around are those who want to meet and mingle with surfers around the globe, along with witnessing the amazing tides and surfing point the resort has to offer.

After the speeches, a boduberu performance was put on to welcome guests and surfers.
