Shadow started working with World Surfaris in 2008. He has been a favorite with World Surfaris’ customers over the years, having spent many seasons on Handhu & Handhu Falhi. Shadow is from the Northern part of the Maldives where there isn’t too much surf during the off-season (or so he says), so by the time surf season kicks in, Shadow is ready to get his guests and himself frothing on the waves around North & South Male. He knows this area like the back of his hand and with his connections in the area, he makes it his mission to dodge crowds and maximise wave counts.

Thesedays, Shadow guides throughout all the main surfing atolls in the Maldives. As a testament to his outstanding work, Shadow was the winner of the 2019 Local Surf Guide of the Year at the Maldives National Boating Awards. Good job Shadow, well done.
