For beginners

You will take your first steps in kitesurfing on the spot located slightly south of the tip of Le Morne, formed by an almost closed bay ideal for learning.

The lessons start with the theory and the safety rules. You will first learn the key and elementary skills in kitesurfing: the correct movements and how to react in the different situations you may face while riding.

You will then learn how to prepare your kite, helm, harness, and safety systems, as well as how to analyze the current conditions (wind direction and risks). Then, you'll move on to the most fun part: practice! The goal is to spend as much time as possible in the water.

Beginner lessons consist of several kite control exercises: piloting, towing and more advanced exercises as you go. Instructors ensure that students have a thorough understanding of the flight window and power zone.

Once you are comfortable and confident in all aspects of the board, it is time to stand up on the board. You will learn how to control the kite and the board before practicing your first tacks, upwind, turn around without falling and maybe try your first jumps!

For experienced kiters

Le Morne lagoon is a large turquoise flat to choppy lagoon, the perfect playground for freestyle/freeride kitesurfing! Wave lovers will not be left out with three reef waves near Le Morne, on the coral reef:

- Little Reef (or Inner Reef) behind the flat area of the point: an accessible wave, but not to be underestimated in case of big swell;
- One Eye (north), only for experienced riders : a fast world class wave that breaks right on the reef (One Eye is famous for its tubular waves);
- Manawa (south), an impressive wave by its size and which breaks quite far from the shore: it looks like a big swell which breaks quite nicely, unlike One Eye.
