COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to learning to kitesurf is time to practice. This is why we organize all of our lessons in a way to maximize your time with the kite, without sacrificing your safety of course. Here in ION CLUB Le Morne, you will not find large group lessons where 4 students or more are sharing one kite between each other. Whenever the conditions allow it, our instructors will make sure you have your own kite with which to practice, train, and make mistakes in a safe and protected environment.
In order to provide you with instant feedback, especially during our advanced lesson program, our instructors use Radio Headsets which enables them to communicate with you while riding.
Flexibility
We understand that choosing a Windsurfing lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.
After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!
A word about
ION CLUB Le Morne
Mauritius rose out of the sea from volcanic eruptions 8 million years ago. The fiery mountains slowly extinguished, leaving behind craters, craggy peaks and a tropical paradise. God must already have been a surfer, as the lava floor sank a little, allowing a coral reef to grow and almost completely encircle the island. The resulting lagoon is wonderfully smooth with a maximum depth of 4 metres. The reef itself is dependable, keeping huge fish and other beasties away.
This divine topography has been used to its fullest extent by ION CLUB, and we have been able to provide our guests with perfect conditions in this all round location for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingsurfing, SUP and waveriding. The starting point is the lagoon, a secure flat water play area for everybody, whether kitesurfers who prefer to romp downwind or the freestyle and freeride windsurfers who speed upwind. Further out, the reef at Little Reef or Manawa will fulfill any special advanced wishes.
BEST PERIODS
June, July, August, September, October, November
WIND
The wind usually blows from east or southeast (sideshore from the left) and reaches a strength of 3-5 beaufort on average during summer in the southern hemisphere and about 4-6 beaufort during winter. In winter (April to October), the trade wind shows its best side. Between December and April there can be heavy rainfall.
WAVES
We are surrounded by 3 surfing spots with different conditions for any level of surfing:
"SMALL REEF" - the Beginner spot, only 400 meters from the beach. Safety is covered by our rescue boat
ONE-EYE - THE WORLD FAMOUS ONE
One Eye is a really fast and tubby left, reserved exclusively to experts. Great place for our guests to take pictures of the pros facing the walls of water of One eye! We don't offer rental to One-Eye!
MANAWA - About 2 km out in front of the RIU Hotel Resort, Manawa is another spot for more advanced and experts surfers. A very nice left breaking on a coral reef, but not as fast and tubby as One-eye.
HOW TO GET TO LE MORNE ?
