Attach the lines. Unroll your lines from your bar down wind and lay them on the ground. Next, grab your 2 centre lines and walk up to the kite, making sure there's no tangles or knots in them. The outside lines on the bar always attach to the back of the kite. Attach your lines to the kite using a larks head knot remembering that the closer the knot to the kite the more power the kite will have in the air. Note that beginners should attach their lines to the knots in the middle of the rope.

3Attach the harness. Now you are ready to attach your harness. Wrap this around your back and close the two flaps across your stomach. Next, secure the buckle and pull the fastening tight to make sure there is no movement. Pull the bottom straps as tight as you can to stop the middle bar rising. Pick up your bar and make sure the loop is facing you with the strap at the bottom. Hook the loop over the bar on your harness and thread the strap through the bar below the loop. Finally, fasten your leash on the harness to the leash point on the bar to act as your safety system should you come off your board.
Set Up Your Surf Kite Step 4.jpgWhen kitesurfers think of Mauritius as a kitesurfing destination, their attention is
usually focused on Le Morne, which has gained worldwide recognition as a hot wave riding
spot thanks largely to the KSP World Pro Kite Surfing Tour. However, what few kiters
realise is that there are also great spots (mainly for lagoon riding) along the East coast
of Mauritius as well.

Since the winds come from the East coast of Mauritius, there are no accelerating factors on
this side of the Island. This results in less “kiteable” days throughout the year along the
East coast when compared to Le Morne or the North. However, during winter (from June to
November,) the East coast definitely deserves your attention… for its beauty, colours, flat
water conditions, and especially for its huge lagoons often with no one in the ocean, other
than a few fishermen. No crowds, no buzz. Epic!
The main spots along the East coast of Mauritius are…
Pointe D’Esny
A beautiful setting with relatively flat water and on shore wind. Riding along the beach is
fun, and most kitesurfers spend days along the bright-white beach, much to the dismay of
the holiday makers and swimmers… ;-)

Not recommended without properly organised security, but worth mentioning, it is possible
to ride 20 kilometres downwind to Trou d’Eau Douce and Ile aux Cerfs, all within the
lagon.
Trou d’Eau Douce
Trou d’Eau Douce is known for its Ile-aux-Cerfs resort, which makes a great kitesurfing
spot when conditions are perfect (wind direction S.S.E).
However the whole beach-front of Trou d’Eau Douce is ‘kiteable’ throughout winter (June to
November). The lagoon is extra wide, most of it shallow and flat (riders must be careful at
low tides). Launching is fine almost anywhere along the beach, especially nearer to the
reefs (the East side), where there is plenty of space.
Trou d’Eau Douce also has a gem… bearing the great name of ‘Joyride’. It’s too far from the
beach to be accessible from there though. Kitesurfers need to use the shuttle boats to
Ile-ax-Cerfs, then walk to its east-facing beach or to its neighbour ‘Ilot Mangenie’ and
launch from there. This still leaves a long upwind ride to reach Joyride, comprising of
several square kilometres of shallow and very flat water along the barrier reef. It is of
course ideal for jumps and speed rides, often with strong, stable and potent winds in
winter.

Palmar
Palmar is another great spot on the East coast of Mauritius which is not well-known, and
over-shadowed by Le Morne, from which it differs drastically. Palmar is a stretch of
relatively narrow lagoon, not very deep, offering several square kilometres of flat water
with a generally stable wind. This spot is ideal for jumping sessions.
Its 45-degree on-shore wind also makes it safe and attractive to beginners, and there’s a
kitesurfing school based in Palmar from April to November, the winter period in the
southern hemisphere. Palmar is probably not suitable outside this period.
Poste Lafayette
Poste Lafayette is great for many reasons:

Beginners
It’s good for beginners as there is plenty of beach space for launching.
Owing to the curved shape of the shore, the launching spot is already 20 to 30 meters away
from the shore.
The wind being generally onshore, this spot is safe and does not require boat rescues.
Relatively shallow a few metres from the shore, although it is not advisable to stand there
without shoes.
No currents or particular hazards.
Intermediate Riders
It is good for intermediate riders as it is far from crowded (just a few kiters on
weekends), and for those who are not yet good at staying upwind, as they can safely land at
any point on the beach to walk upwind again.
Advanced Riders
Good for advanced riders, since there are two flat water zones that are good for jumping
and some wave spots to carefully explore by following the locals.
Excellent regular wind conditions, especially in winter.
About Mauritius
The island of Mauritius can be compared to a gifted child; small in size, but lots
happening under the hood. Its population illustrates this; 1.3 million inhabitants on just
720 sq miles… with an apparent booming economy and a relatively active presence on the
international political and economical scene.

This nation’s contrasts and contradictions can’t be missed though. The streets are busy
with a mix of old choking buses and brand new top-of-the-range luxury cars. Rich
businessmen and industrialists next to the very poor. Fair road network, terrible internet
connection. The list goes on…
4Launch. Walk back downwind to the launch point. Your knowledgeable friend should now turn the kite over and stand with the kite vertical whilst holding the inflated edge. When you are ready to go, give your friend the thumbs up and they should let go of the kite and then it should fly straight up to the top of the wind window.
