Adventure seekers take heed – Mauritius is also a Kite surf paradise!

Up to a few years ago, surfing, waterskiing, windsurfing and sailing were just about the most extreme one could get over water. This, until a young Mauritian-born sea lover, Nico Kux, discovered Kitesurfing through one of his customers who had brought a small contraption to the island. This was enough for Nico to tuck away his windsurfing board and adopt the latest craze in water sports – Kite surfing.

The sport launched in Europe by two Frenchmen, rapidly gained popularity. In Mauritius, in just a matter of a few years, the sport has been growing by leaps and bounds and is gathering momentum rapidly amongst the younger generation. Understandably, what other sport can offer you to slide over the waves, glide over the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean whilst taming the elements of space and water?
