Scandals, Corruption, and Destruction in The Maldives

Editor's Note: We hate sharing news of waves that are under threat, it's not too late to Save Tucky Joes by signing the petition here.

Right now, one of the best left-handers in the Maldives, Tucky Joes, is being lost to a development and land reclamation program that is changing the nearby lagoon and disrupting the water flow that makes the wave so good. The argument is playing out within the country and, unfortunately, it seems that those with the bulldozers speak much louder than those with surfboards and dive masks.
