While the Maldives is a very mal-friendly destination as well, she had prepared<br />
to make the most of the conditions on her shortboard, surfing her favourite spots<br />
at home regularly in the lead-up to the trip - glassy, a-frame beachbreaks along<br />
the Sunshine Coast North Shore and the pointbreaks of Noosa.<br />
“I just got myself as ready as I could, surfed as much as possible before I<br />
went, which seems like the logical thing to do,” she says.<br />
The preparation paid off in spades and Alyson got to make the most of the<br />
early season Maldives waves. Now she’s keen to get back as soon as her<br />
busy schedule allows.<br />
“Absolutely,” she says. “Get involved. Do it. Get out there.<br />
“I’d love to be able to go back at the drop of a hat, when it’s on.”<br />
We’re sure the Liquid Destination crew will have Alyson on speed-dial to<br />
have her back over any time. Who knows - with the season far from over<br />
and those glassy, empty waves going unridden, it might just be enough of a<br />
reason to leave the Sunshine Coast for another ten days, sooner than later.<br />
TOP: In between all the playful<br />
waves were plenty more<br />
serious ones too. The Maldives<br />
is definitely a surf destination<br />
for all levels of experience.<br />
BELOW: Once again, the<br />
smile says it all.<br />

Alyson was a guest of Liquid Destination and the photos in this story were taken<br />
by Liquid Destination on-board photographer, Jade Rogers. If you think you’d be<br />
even half as photogenic as Alyson and would like a similar surf trip of a lifetime,<br />
with the memories and visual proof to boot, get in touch with Liquid Destination,<br />
