Well its been quiet so far during February so the team at Club Mistral Mauritius has been fully clearing, renovating, re organising and painting the centre ready for the new season. In the next few days all will be finished and we look forward to seeing you here for some fun on the water be it kite, windsurfing or surfing.

Best regards and happy windsurfing.

Ok so what have I been up to. Well around 14th October I left my home in sunny Dahab for a posting to manage the Club Mistral at Le Morne in Mauritius.

It took me a while to make up my mind if I should come here or not for various reasons but in the end obviously I decided to give it a go. On arrival I had to endure a day at the hospital as the requirements for work permits here are quite strict so you get the full works, normal health check, blood tests, chest xrays etc etc won;t bore everyone too much with this but it takes a while, lots of waiting around and generally is a bit boring.

All good on that front not falling appart too badly at the moment appart from a bit of ligament damage here and there but heh thats life.

On Arrival shared a place with Felix who many people who have visited here the past few years will know, this lucky guy is now on a 3 month trip to WA then 1 month to Cape Town and now I have been here a little while I would say he definately earned it, and at this stage would like to extend to him a big hug and hope he is enjoying himself, ride a few more me captain my captain..

As you can probably guess from the fact that I am posting something I finally after quite a long wait have an internet connection at home “humdulila”.

Its not been easy leaving Dahab I miss Sveta, Onur, Said, Ahmed, Reda, Hafez, Jay, Toby, Yesh, Mahmood and all my other friends there so a big hug to all of them and I am thinking of you all.

Here is a fresh challenge, a new place new culture different and changeable sailing conditions, the possibility to surf and kite surf as well which is great although I did not find time to do that much yet I am hoping that now the low season is here I will get the chance a bit more often.

The island is absolutely beautiful and it is a welcome change to be somewhere green with rain every now and again. The waterfront is an absolute playground for windsurfing of all levels, kite surfing and surfing, although there are times where the conditions make it too dangerous to go out due to strong currents and adverse swell directions, never the less you can definatly have some of the best conditions to be found anywhere in the world here and this is just an incredible bonus to working here.

Anyways I will now try my best to add as many pics and videos of the place as I can so keep popping back every now and again you never know what you will find…

Best regards to all and happy windsurfing.

We hope to see you in Mauritius soon.

Best wishes and happy windsurfing.
