All you need to know about kitesurfing Babaomby & Sakalava Madagascar

Babaomby

Windy Season : April to November

Learn to Kite : No

Average Wind : Strong wind : come with a 3/4/5/6/7/8

Launch : Small beach (but launching remains easy)

Upcoming Kite Trip : 16–25 May 2018

About Location :

Maybe one of the most beautiful spot in the world, in addition to being in the top 10 wind statistics from April to November. You have to be loneliness and meditation lover because there is not much to do after your kite session. The water is amazing and the spot is not busy at all (10 riders at the most for a 30 or 40 km2 spot)

Babaomby is located at the very North of Madagascar, at the intersection between the Indian Ocean and the Mozambique Canal.

The spot is famous for its incredible emerald-green lagoon, one of the most gorgeous in the world. The wind blows steadily (20 to 35 knots) almost everyday, from April to mid-November. The lagoon is two-miles wide and super flat : awesome for freestyle and effortless free ride! Wave addict ? You’ll find some decent waves on the outer reef.

The white sandy beach is quite small, but launching isn’t really an issue anyway. You’ll have no problem finding someone to help you. Emerald Sea : Reachable only with a group of people by sailing boat, wild spot, nobody around, amazing water… an unforgetable kite adventure. An isolated kiteschool and many touristic activities close by. African atmosphere.

Conditions :

It is quite a small trip to reach the dream spot : 15 min driving in an old french Renault up to Ramena and then 45 min on a boat. In a crystal-clear water you kite with turtles. You can get an amazing wave at the edge of the spot !

Sakalava

Windy Season : April to November

Learn to Kite : yes

Average Wind : Strong wind : come with a 3/4/5/6/7/8

Launch : Small beach (but launching remains easy)

Upcoming Kite Trip : 16–25 May 2018

About Location :

Sakalav with its beautiful bay reachable with a taxi, great wind conditions and mixed spot (flat and waves), not busy, the best deal is to get a room in the traditional fishermen village of Ramena and to drive back and forth everyday , the beautiful water, the lifstyle, and the kiteschools on the spot.

You can spend true holidays without moving a finger for anything with quality food and kidness of local people. Many options in the Emerald Sea with downwinds and even more

Conditions :

The conditions are just perfect for advanced freestylers as well as beginners : the bay is almost completely closed, which means super flat water, and the wind blows onshore.
