LOCATION
The Lagoon
Straight off the beach is a shallow flat-water lagoon, which is perfect for skills training, blasting, gybe practice and safe easy ‘flat-water wave riding’ practice.
Then, there’s optional waves of varying size (swell dependant of course) for those who want to learn or enhance their Freewave / Wave skills.

Tell me about the waves
Waves range in size depending on the swell forecast.
We go in October, because the balance of wind and waves is about as good as you can get in Mauritius.
We’ve been coming here for 12 years,which says it all.
Effectively, when the swell is working, you can choose between small, medium or larger waves if you venture onto the outer reefs.
What about rescue?
We use ION centre which has rescue cover for those who sail within the designated area.

Flat water lagoon & WAVES!comfy pillows
learn more
We named this small reform break inside the lagoon.
It’s a super gentle wave for your first ride be that on a WindSUP or short board, in total safety of the lagoon.
small reef
learn more
On the outer edge of the lagoon ‘Small Reef’ is great for jumping and an introduction to down-the-line wave skills.
Plus there’s an upwind channel to get out through the break without having to go through white-water.
manawa
learn more
Despite it’s size and social media status, ‘Manawa’ is actually a very accessible wave.
Whether you sit off the shoulder to avoid the breaking white water or get deeper into the section, you’ll ride a wave bigger than you ever thought possible. Plus,there’s a channel to get out so no punching through breaking white-water.
We’re there to guide you and help you have the ride of your life!
one eye
learn more
Famous around the world, ‘One Eye’ travels with the length and speed of a runaway train, wrapping perfectly around a distant arching and incredibly shallow reef.
This is for experts only and no rental kit, but you can take a look from a distance!
