Welcome to
We are an international kitesurfing team with German and Swiss roots. At home on the 7 seas, but we have our home in Mauritius.
What do we want?
Passing on our experience and fun to Mauritius, kiting and life – to YOU !!!
Our motivation?
The greatest motivation for us is when YOU come out of the water with a laugh and always remember the brilliant time in Mauritius after your kite holiday.
Please note: Kiting in Le Morne promotes the “sea blows” and so it may be that you keep coming back.
Live your dreams!
FAIR PRICES
Our goal is your fastest possible learning progress, our prices are clearly structured and fair. Our plus in service: We add a theoretical basic unit on land to every session (weather forecast, right of way, material knowledge), which we understand as a service and do not charge extra. For example, a 8 hour kite course totaling about 10 hours

FAST SUCCESSES
Our school and training methods have been developed by leading sports scientists in close cooperation with practice-oriented experienced kite instructors and have been successfully modified to meet the prevailing conditions in Mauritius. We teach individually with a maximum of 2 students per teacher, exactly what serves your quick learning success. The advantage: more security and a steeper learning curve in a shorter time than in larger groups.
TAILOR-MADE INDIVIDUAL APPROACH
We do not believe in "show-off - imitate". As in any other top-level sport, we apply the latest methodological and didactic knowledge.
Video training with a waterproof camera and laptop is possible. If you want, we can carry out a video-supported error analysis directly on the beach or on the boat - or simply take action photos.
QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED COACHES
Our coaches have trained over 1000 students in the past 15 years. They also actively contribute their experience from other areas of coaching and training to the situation. We don't have a “Schema-F”; we act situationally and you are the focus. Some of our training:
- IKO kit instructor
- VDWS water sports container
- Academic background
