Activity description

The school is based in Diego-Suarez, in the northern region of Madagascar, and offers you to discover kitesurfing or to improve your skills in Sakalava bay and Andovokonko bay, real little corners of paradise.

This is a unique place that will charm you as soon as you arrive. You will find in Sakalava and Andovokonko white sand beaches, a shallow sandy bottom, and warm water protected from the swell by a coral reef.

With a particularly constant and regular trade winds regime, these bays are probably among the best kitesurfing spots in Madagascar to start and gain confidence.

During the course:

A typical day is to leave in the morning around 9 am for 2 hours of kite session in Sakalava or Andovokonko bay. You will be picked up from your hotel thanks to the Kite Alizé 4x4 then you will have 30 minutes of road and track to arrive at the kitesurf spots.

After these 2 hours of sessions, you will have lunch on-site in a local restaurant on one of the spots. You will have the choice of doing a nap after the meal for those who wish in the "relaxation" area or directly kite for another 2 hours.

If no one wants to kite in the afternoon, you usually come back around 2:30 or 3 p.m. drop clients off at their hotels or otherwise around 6 p.m. if there has been a kite. In the evening you will surely meet the Kite Alizé team for a drink.
