Why we rate this centre

.
The Kitesurf school is right on the beach of Sakalava Bay, facing the beautiful landscape of the endless blue Indian Ocean and beautiful white beaches. You can launch directly from the centre into the massive lagoon. A reef 800 meters from the coast protected the bay from the Inoda Ocean swell, creating lovely flat water, perfect for beginners and freestylers. Out on the reef, there are some great wave spots for the more advanced. Sakalava Bay is a truly unique place, combining amazing conditions with the raw beauty of this relatively untouched island.

The school has the best equipment available in the area and the highest standards of instruction. They also offer downwind excursions from the Emerald Sea, with fresh fish (catch of the day), coconut rice, and a little coconut punch as an aperitif.

You don’t need to be super-fit to kitesurf and the kit is lightweight, so you don’t need lots of muscle strength either. But of course, a decent level of fitness will help you to progress faster.
