Get Blown Away in Mauritius

In 1974, Larry Yates’ surfing movie, ‘Forgotten Island of Santosha’, was released and highlighted a break and perfect 8-10 foot tubes in Tamarin Bay, Mauritius. Even though this spot has been surfed since the early 1960s, the exotic images of this remote island getaway spurred many other surfers to discover this now world-famous location. With good swells and strong south-easterly trade winds, it also didn’t take long for the windsurfers to find the island. Today, Mauritius is known as one of the best kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations on the planet.
