Vaikaradhoo Youths Launch 'Vairodi' Association with First-of-its-Kind Flyboarding Event

A group of youths from H.Dh. Vaikaradhoo have taken the initiative to organise a "Vairodi" association, and the flyboarding event currently underway on the island, organised by that association, has begun to receive a great welcome and praise from the island's residents. "With the beautiful morning hours, as people came out onto Vaikaradhoo's harbour, what took over the soul was an indescribable sense of peace and joy! A large number of the island's young and old have gathered to see a scene unlike anything seen before in their lifetimes! The island's children [came] to see the place 'flying'!" a youth from Vaikaradhoo said. In a post shared on social media by a youth from the island in connection with this event, it was said that the pride of the island, Ibrahim Naif — a successful athlete of the Maldives and the person who brought a beautiful name to Vaikaradhoo by securing 4th place at the world's "Hydro Fly Fest" — and many skilled youths of the island, through the excellent activities they are displaying, have left the residents gathered in the harbour area to watch the event astonished and speechless. He has also revealed that through this event, while a golden opportunity was freely made available for small children to learn and experience the skill of flyboarding, the sight of even the youngest children "flying" through the air together with experienced practitioners was a scene that filled the entire atmosphere with joy. In addition, he noted in the post that this activity, being held for the first time in the Maldives in this manner as well, is a proud undertaking that has once again lifted to the skies the name of Vaikaradhoo, an island honoured as the island where many skilled watersports practitioners reside. "I am extremely grateful to Vairodi association and to all parties participating in the event, for giving the island's residents such valuable, joyful memories and experiences. May you always grant success and prosperity to that association and to our skilled youths. Ameen." he said.
