Le Morne: The Beating Heart of Mauritius

Few kiteboarding destinations can offer as much variety in such a spectacular setting as Le Morne. Inside the lagoon, beginners and freeriders have acres of turquoise water to explore, while beyond the reef, Little Reef, Manawa, and the legendary One Eye provide a natural progression into some of the finest wave riding on the planet. We take a closer look at what makes this corner of Mauritius so special, and why, after countless visits, it remains one of our favourite places to kite.

Blind is sometimes described as toeside backwards, and this demonstrates it nicely. At the beginning it’s basically a slide turn from blind, which you come out of carving on your toes, but once you perfect it,...

Back to Wrapped Hooked

When you hear the name back to wrapped, you likely cast your mind back to bygone days of unhooked freestyle (if you've been around long enough) and what was often considered the precursor to the back mobe.
