nice cinematography, great heli work beautiful colors and some nice speed runs

its a magical spot in that the sun stays in a perfect angle for shooting from land/reef nearly all day long - just a bugger getting a stable platform out on to the reef.

action wise

not a single section hit - so in effect it looked like a speed sailing movie.
Style over substance ? certainly lots of style...

3 lifters or some vert reos would have made the movie complete.

it can be done there too (- but not on a west swell and not on low tide)

Such a nice relaxing video this one, already watched it 5 times when it first came out. Here's some great photos from that photographer www.facebook.com/alex.zlb/photos_stream
You have to scroll down a bit for the Mauritius ones.

Is that the one eye break? Looked amazing from the beach, looks more amazing from the air. Fantastic place for a windsurf holiday

No I literally mean it's really sick to sail formula there! Here's some shots from Grand Baie last time I was there. Just wanted to say there is more to the island than the epic wavesailing it's famous for ;-)

Oh it's literally sick. Pardon me, I assumed you were describing it metaphorically.

Sounds nasty. What were the symptoms?

You should always take imodium to these tropical places eh.

Grand Bay is a beautiful spot - and there is some great wave sailing in the north part of the island - that can be hit on the high half of the tide.

Its is a magical spot no doubt about that.

we were staying an Le Morne - and there were some seriously sweet looking waves south of there.

Funnily enough one of the resorts ( a big fancy looking one- it was right on the point and looked like a deserted ghost town ) had been shut down
due to public health concerns - it seems that the hotel was sitting on top of and sinking into its own sewage- and lots of guests there got really sick.

One eye is a confronting spot for many to sail - depending on swell direction it is either super fast and heavy (at size- i'd say heavier than NW desert / Eneabba due to the fact that the reef gets relentlesslly shallower) or playful and hittable
but there is a more friendly cross one ish option 300 meters away that most sailors can hit in relative safety.
