Six surf guesthouses from this series now sit on Thulusdhoo. Molar Wave is the sixth. At this point the definitive six-guesthouse comparison is more useful than another individual property description, because the Coke's wave is identical from all six and the island character is shared.
Molar Wave. The molar is a tooth specifically the back grinding tooth, which in surf slang refers to a wave's grinding, powerful section. It's a surf-literate name that signals the property knows its audience: people who are here for Coke's, who know what a grinding reef break feels like, and who need a clean room, board storage, and a reliable swell forecast more than they need a sunset terrace.
