Those who have practiced the sport know that the beginnings can be extremely frustrating! However, apart from the humiliation of spending the first lessons falling over in the water every other minute rather than gliding along in the bay, succeeding to move a few metres is just utter magic! For the enthusiast, once these very painful beginnings are over there is no coming back. From enthusiast you will rapidly grow into an addict of the sport. The development of the sport was geometric and Aloi is to be commended for his patience and pioneering work, without which none of the windsurfers’ clubs around the island would have known such popularity.

Years have passed by but the sport has gone on flourishing unfettered. Clubs exist in each and every hotel and even Mistral (one of the pioneering brands in windsurfing) has created its own clubs in partnership with some major 5 star hotels on the island.

So if Kite surfing seems slightly on the extreme side of things for you, windsurfing is surely the next best alternative for having fun and enjoying this fantastic feeling of being free to glide over the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Whether a beginner, child or professional, there is a spot for you where you can take your board to the extreme side of what you consider a perfect holiday of sport and adventure. Besides, staying at one of our beach hotels will even make this even more pleasurable – windsurfing is free for all – all day long!!
