In August, an all-star lineup of surfers including Joel Parkinson, Mason and Coco Ho, Adriano de Souza, Conner Coffin, and Maldives local Hood Ahmen, got pretty darned lucky.

They were hand-picked to compete in the super exclusive Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy. They surfed single fin, twin fin, and thruster divisions at the epic righthander, Sultan's.

A couple of weeks ago, the guys at Ho & Pringle Productions dropped edits of the trip, showing the crew shredding the contest's single and twin fin divisions. Now we get to see the third installment of their footage from the trip's thruster division.

Ho & Pringle Productions posted the edit above today, captioning it:

"Here is DAY 3, THRUSTER division of The Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy! Everybody scored some really nice swell for this day at Sultan’s."

The caption says it all, it's the crew shredding their their thrusters in epic Maldivian surf.

Can we really tell they're on three fins this time? Maybe you can, maybe you can't. But it doesn't matter because they're ripping non-stop waves in beautiful conditions throughout the entire 10-minute video.

In the end, 2012 World Champ Parko won the contest beating 2015 World Champ Adriano De Souza in the grand finale.

Viewers were psyched, commenting:

"Sweet Maldives Juice"

"Farrrrk. Parko on the shred big time. Yewwww"

So press play above for some highlights of the thruster division and to experience some serious surf envy. It'll probably inspire some planning for next summer's surf trip.
