Le Morne

Le Morne, in the south-west of Mauritius, gives you two completely different rides in the same place. Inside the reef lagoon: flat, calm, beginner-friendly, with the dramatic Le Morne Brabant peninsula as backdrop. Outside the reef: One Eye, one of the most famous wave-kite spots in the world, perfect cross-shore, perfect down-the-line conditions, advanced only. The whole spot is regulated by a national park ranger system so it never feels crowded.
