New for 2023 in our fully stocked windsurf, kitesurf and wingfoil centre (also with SUP and Surf Boards) based at the end of the JW Marriott Resort beach, right on the main kite and windsurf beach called La Pointe.
Directly off the beach here you are into a turquoise lagoon and shallow water offering perfect and easy conditions. The whole lagoon is surrounded by a reef, which is 600 metres off the beach. Depending on the tide, the water might be so shallow at some very low tides that sometimes neither the reef nor the lagoon can be accessed. Outside the reef you will find 2 of the best wave spots in the world; Manawa and One Eye. This is for very advanced levels only. If you are not very familiar with these spots please ensure you speak to the centre first who can arrange an instruction to go with you.
If you are not staying at the JW Marriott (the only hotel on the main wind beach), we can arrange for a shuttle to collect you from other hotels on the Le Morne peninsular, including Dinarobin, Pardis and LUX Le Morne). If you are booking a holiday with a car, there is easy parking at the centre.
Safety - Le Morne is one of the best and most versatile spots on the Planet for ocean wind sports, if not the most versatile in the world. Here you will find all conditions from shallow water lagoon, to the Small Reef along the Platin Rouge and then on the outer reef waves spots of Manawa, Chameau, or the famous wave spot “One-Eye”. Safety at this location is an absolute priority as the varying tide, wind and swell conditions can create extreme safety hazards in some areas at certain times. The centre here provides constant safety boat cover, as well as maintaining well-marked and flagged no-go areas. If the simple rules are adhered to this is a very safe location. All clients should be registered at the centre and follow the safety briefing.
Windsurfing - This is the best fully stocked windsurf centre in Le Morne with all the newest Duotone sails and Fanatic Boards at great prices. SUP and Surf equipment is included for pre-booked windsurf rental. The centre has lots of experience running this amazing but complex sailing area. All abilities are catered for from a kid's beginner school through to advanced down-the-line wave sailing, Mauritius really does have it all!
Kitesurfing - This is the only fixed kitesurf station in Le Morne, stocking a large range of the newest Duatone equipment from the whole range. For independent level kitesurfer, you can launch directly from the centre into the lagoon. Kitesurf lessons will be taken at the beginner training lagoon, a 20-minute walk down the beach (the centre will take you for pre-booked lessons). We also offer a Kitesurf Prestige service for our guests of the JW Marriott, with a private speed boat and private instruction taking you to the best and most uncrowded spots in the lagoon.
Wing Foiling - This spot is not ideal for a pure Wing Foiling trip as it is tide dependent, although on mid to high tides, with a shorter mast, the Wing Foiling here is amazing. For advanced Wing Foiling Manawa is a popular wave spot. The centre had a good stock of Fanatic Boards and Duatone Wings. We can also officer combi rental so you can Wing at higher tides, then windsurf or kitesurf at lower tides.
