Right from the day I arrived on this beautiful island, a sizeable long period swell was looming which was setting up to hit on the last day of my trip. Sure enough, the Southern Indian Ocean waves hit full power and my final afternoon was a story in itself, but prior to that, this incredible location provided plenty of other amazing experiences that made this trip truly one to remember.
REWIND
I had visited Mauritius once before way back in 2006 along with Nik Baker and the ‘Moreno’ twins. I vowed that someday I would try to make it back. Without doubt, the most vivid memory that stuck with me from this stunning island was the notorious ‘One Eye’, a beast of a reef break, heavy and offshore with all sorts of nasty consequences on any sizeable Indian Ocean swell. Aside from this mind blowing wave, there was so much more to this stunning water sports playground at the south tip of Mauritius; this windsurfing slice of heaven really does have conditions to suit every level of sailor and all disciplines.
