The Pearl of Indian Ocean
Located in the north of Madagascar, Sakalava Bay is swept by a particularly strong and constant trade wind. With wind from March to December, Sakalava bay has become a world-famous spot for sliding sports!
What made Sakalava’s reputation is not only its wind, but also the perfect configuration of the spot. With a very comfortable sandy bottom, water at pelvis height in the whole bay at low tide, a very safe cross on-shore wind direction and crystal clear water, Sakalava has absolutely everything you need to practice Kitesurfing or Funboarding in idyllic conditions.
Flat and waves
At low tide you will find a mirror-smooth surface. Perfect for beginners and freestyle. The reef waves are located 500 meters from the beach. Very accessible with waves from 1 m to 2 m, you will have the chance to practice Kite Surfing every day! There are always waves around here…
