SPORTIF MAURITIUS CLINIC & SPECIAL OFFERS
PRESS RELEASE.
Sportif say Mauritius is probably the best windsurfing destination in the world and that is why Peter Hart, Simon Bornhoft and Jem Hall run clinics there every year. The huge lagoon and easily accessible reefs offer a range of flat water and wave conditions, ideal for beginners to experts. “It’s the perfect place to crack waterstarts” says Peter Hart, “as for who will enjoy the sailing, it’s everyone from first time gybers to the most ardent wave heads”.
Jem Hall has been running clinics to Mauritius for the last 5 years and has this to say about conditions. “The wind is side shore from the left giving flat water plus a variety of different wave breaks offering everything including bump and jump, small waves and world class wave sailing. A veritable skate park, flat water downwind, small waves / bump ‘n’ jump in front of the centre.
Out to little reef for cross on waves and some jumping & riding or out to the legendary Manawa for smooth cross-off, down-the-line pure frontside joy. Winds are great for progressing from 5.8 to 4.7 weather and average 70% planing days over last 3 clinics!”
With Simon Bornhoft you’ll receive a Windwise pre-course pack with fitness and preparation advice, coaching video playback, on and off water feedback. Simon says, “We’ve been to Mauritius since 2007 and it’s a real gem! Easy launching, cross-shore left to right winds and warm water, plus some truly fabulous waves to suit every level.”
Sportif say the hotels are located on the finest beaches in the Indian Ocean, where non-windsurfing partners, friends and family can also relax. There are also a choice of 5* luxury hotels with the new St Regis just a few minutes’ walk along the beach. For best value, choose the newly refurbished, 3*+ Indian Resort and Spa Hotel. Located right on the beach at Le Morne, you’ll have the benefit of the first class Mistral windsurf and kitesurf centre in the hotel grounds and be located right next to the lagoon launch area. Here you can rent the latest 2013 Fanatic and Mistral boards and North sails or take flexible windsurf instruction from 1 hour to full weekly courses with discounts on offer for combi rental and instruction packages.
1 week in the new refurbished Indian Resort Hotel and Spa including flights from £1,275 half board with upgrade to a 5* luxury hotel from £400. The 5*Deluxe St Regis Mauritius has offers saving up to £800 with free nights. 1 week half board departing on 13 September 2013 starts at £1,899 including return flights plus Sportif’s ‘meet & greet’ transfer service.
One of the best ways to enjoy the conditions and improve your windsurfing, say Sportif, is to join one of their clinics.
