The water and wind conditions are just perfect for experienced kitesurfers, but beginners shouldn’t be discouraged – there are a few places where you can take lessons and pick it up quickly.

Probably the best place is Osmosis Kite Center that sits just on the main kitesurfing spot Ebony Mourouk Beach. The area is extremely relaxed and the staff is very friendly and patient. The majority of people who are staying or working there are passionate kitesurfers themselves, so you can expect a great time while picking up a technique. Basically, this is the only place where some life is going on after sunset. On some days the owner throws a party which is an ideal way to socialize with other kitesurfers on the island.

There is a huge possibility that you’re visiting the island with your own kitesurfing equipment, but if you don’t have one, you shouldn’t worry as you can rent it at your hotel. People who decide to travel to Rodrigues with kitesurfing equipment should be aware that Air Mauritius allows only 20 kg of baggage (equipment included).

Did you know that Rodrigues is a host of an international kitesurf festival and competition almost every year? The huge festival that attracts the biggest names in the sport is taking place from the 26th of June this year.
