Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Mauritius Le Morne

Buzz — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:14:00 +0000

I know there are many people who think SUP is not really a pure kinda sport but I am an addict to it.

After discovering that learning to surf was damn hard work I tried a Mistral SUP that we have in the Club Mistral at Le Morne and within the first session I had managed to catch my first wave without a sail in my hands and it was GREAT!!!

Since last summer I have clocked up hours on the SUP and we have now a range from Fanatic Fly Wood Edition 9’6 to 11’6 Pacifico with more Fanatic including 10, 10’6 and 11 for people to try at the center. It does not have to be radical, its great exercise and even just cruising through the lagoon over the clear turquoise water looking down at the aquarium below is a great way to pass time and be out on the water. For the more radical Small reef offers the perfect training ground from a mellow day like the one in the pics to some good size 2 to 3 meters waves perfect for stand up paddling. Manawa on some days can also be a real great ride so once again even if the wind is not blowing Le Morne Mauritius can offer it all.

Enjoy, best wishes and happy Stand Up.

Few Pics From Small Reef Le Morne Mauritius 29-07-2009

Few pics from today which was a lot less stressful than yesturday when the hotel boathouse speedboat was flipped upside down in the waves while they tried to rescue a guest on the all inclusive windsurfing kit and their boat ran out of petrol eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr can you imagine. So as normal the Club Mistral safety team went out and bought back them all back.

sorry about the quality of the pics the boat was moving around a bit and its only a small pocket camera but you’ll get the idea hehe.

Enjoy, best wishes and happy windsurfing.

Few pics of Buzz at Le Morne Mauritius

Just a few pics from a previous session in the Lagoon and Small Reef. As I said in a previous post got a bit distracted with Facebook so will catch up a little on here and then add some new juicy stuff from the current season, which is shaping up to be a windy one hehe.

These pics were very kindly taken by Ernstfried Prade the original designer of the Mistral M dot while he was over here in Mauritius doing a photo shoot for some of the new Mistral Fashion thanks Ernstfried very much they are really great especially as I don’t get so many chances to have some nice pics taken during the busy season at the centre.

Anyways today another windy one, we had a good 19 knots average with some nice 2 to 2.5 meter waves in Small Reef, also with the SE swell we had the past couple of days Manawa was working really nice as well. The wind looks set to stay the next week so fingures crossed some more good times to be had by all on the water here in the paradise spot of Mauritius.

Also added an amusing article on me by Peter Hart hehe if you haven’t seen it enjoy its full of the Harty humour..

That’s it for today take care everyone best wishes and happy windsurfing.

Club Mistral Visits Essouria Morocco

Buzz — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 09:33:00 +0100

Sadly I haven’t much time to sit and write a lot about Morocco, but I can tell you that its a place that I felt very at home in. Friendly open minded people still in touch with their roots. Amazing Atlantic coastline offering fantastic year round surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Can’t wait to get back there in the summer !!!!

You can view a selection of the pics I took from a trip to a local market, oasis and windsurfing session in Moulay (Fab wave spot cross off from the right) HERE!.

Big thanks to Club Mistral for the invitation to the meeting there and also a huge thanks to Marie and Seb from Ocean Vagabond for their hospitality. I’ll post up some pictures of the Ocean Vagabond Hotel when I get back to Dahab.
