MAURITIUS

Once again, I will be running TWO clinics consecutively in 2008.

Dates:

First Clinic: 17th November - 1st Dec 2008

Second Clinic: 1 - 15 Dec 2008

Exactly Where: The 4 star Indian Resort on the south western corner of the island in the beautifully unspoiled region of Le Morne.

Exactly what: general skills and wave-sailing.

Equipment: hiring from Club Mistral on site

Standard Required: The sailing area can genuinely cater for a huge range of abilities - just note the following:

For the 'general skills' course (i.e inside the reef on the lagoon): you need to be using a harness and planing on a sub 130 litre board. You should be well on the weay to waterstarting (but the lagoon is a great place to learn or improve waterstarts!)

If you want to sail the waves on the reefs, you naturally must be a 100% waterstarter, able to sail a sub 90 litre wave board, a strong swimmer and confident around breaking waves.

About the clinic:  there’s nothing we can’t do. Shallow, sheltered lagoons and outer reefs allow us to cover every move in the book from waterstarts to loops and bottom turns. The wind blows all day so there will be plenty of opportunity for individual attention.

It's a two week course during which time you'll get 10 days of tuition. Believe me, you'll be glad of the break!
