Mauritius Jem Hall windsurfing clinic week for advanced intermediates to advanced windsurfers to the stunning Le Morne windsurfing venue in October 2025, for those wishing to work on a range of techniques to improve stance, early planing, sailing faster, tacking, turns, gybes and wave sailing. The windsurfing in Mauritius has absolutely everything you could need: flat water on the inside and a variety of different wave breaks will give you the opportunity to choose your playground.
Stay right on the spot under the majestic Le Morne Brabant peak, right on the lagoon, with direct access to the reefs and wave breaks on the outs. Including inthe package is your stay a the 4* All Inclusive luxury hotel on the spot at Le Morne with windsurf centre onsite, with non windsurfing friends and partners welcome.
Course details
Jem will be coaching through the use of simulators, on-water coaching and video coaching. The course content will be relevant to the ability level for that week and individual needs but generally covers:
► Stance Early planing, faster sailing, both up and downwind, getting control.
► Tacking Learning and improving this very useful and fundamental skill.
► Carve Gybes From improving your turns to getting that elusive planing gybe.
► Freestyle Introduction and improving with lots of new and useful tricks.
► Jumping Experience your first air time, getting higher and try rotating if you wish.
► Wave Sailing The waves on the reef give you a great opportunity to develop your getting out skills, wave selection and waveriding skills. From cross on and small to down the line and full speed frontside its all here - with the warm water, safety cover and Jem's watchful eye giving you the confidence to push it that bit harder.
Typical Course Level
Advanced Intermediates to Advanced
To get the best out of this clinic participants will need to be fully blasting in the harness and footstraps, waterstarting and be getting round some carve gybes. For Advanced windsurfers, the sky 's the limit. For the budding wave sailors you should be able to sail a short board competently, and have done plenty of coastal sailing. Your gybes will be fairly consistent and you will have sailed in strong winds with total waterstart confidence.
The Conditions
Side shore from the left giving flat water plus a variety of different wave breaks offering everything including bump and jump, small waves and world class wave sailing. A veritable skate park, flat water downwind, small waves / bump and jump in front of the centre. Out to little reef for cross on waves and some jumping and riding out to the legendary Manawa reef for smooth cross off down the line pure frontside joy.
Jem says "Winds are great for progressing from 5.8 to 4.7 weather and average 70% planing days over last 3 clinics!."
