A day completely devoted to wide mouth cackling, mixed with some snorting, knee slapping, belly hugging, deep to the core of your being laughter.

A ha Vibsters make sure today you laugh out loud! Not only do you burn calories but laughing strengthens your immune system, boosts your energy, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress….

Haiti … You can help!

January 24, 2010 By: MiniMal Category: News

Calling out to all Island Vibers

I am sure you are all well aware of the devastating tragedy that has happened in Haiti.

The 7.0 earthquake that hit the poorest country in the western hemisphere on the 20 January 2010, has affected around 3 million people and has left tens of thousands dead.  The survivors of the tragic disaster are in dire need of food, water and medical supplies.

A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words

The Mauritian government has apparently donated Rs15 Mil and we to can do our share.

Please see below a list of online organisations where we can donate money to play our part in helping those who are in a tragic and heart-breaking situation.

UNICEF

RED CROSS

HaitiRelief.net

Haiti Relief Fund

Wyclef Jean, who is in fact Haitian, has created a website Yele in order to aid those affected by the earth quake as well as merchandise for sale which goes towards the relief program.

Lean on me...

So go on, lets raise a fortune for those less-fortunate, they really do need it!

We’re back for 2010!!

January 24, 2010 By: MiniMal Category: Uncategorized

Hey Island Vibers.

Welcome to 2010!!  Yeah we are a bit late but hey what the hell we back.

A quick update of why we’ve been MIA… Coco has become Coco- Ice as she’s is off skiing the slops of Switzerland, cage dancing and mini people watching for the next couple of months, while I’ve been partying the festive season away on our rock (and I might add slowly melting away on our very humid, very hot and very tropical Island of ours).

Where in the World??

See you in a bit

Kiteival Open Night – Get your kitesurf on!

October 05, 2009 By: Coco Category: Entertainment, Useful Information

What happens when you take the prefix KITESURF plus the suffix of FESTIVAL? You get KITEIVAL! What a cool word! And an even cooler event! Kiteival is the first and only of it’s kind, a unique kitesurfing festival where the competition is held in different stages around Mauritius.

KITE + SURF!

KITE + SURF!

If you got to the KITEIVAL website, you will read that

Kiteival’s Technical Director is Nico Kux (Sindbad Ltd) our National Kite Instructor, IKO and BKSA Certified. Nico has introduced kite surf in Mauritius and organized several kite surf events and festivals. He has also successfully participated in international kite surf events and competitions.

He is assisted by Albert d’Unienville of Naïade Events who has a solid experience in the organization of major international and local (sports) events in Mauritius. With the support of Naïade Resorts, one of the leading hotel groups in the Indian Ocean, who owns resorts hotels strategically situated all around Mauritius, Kiteival has the full potential to become a fantastic annual kite surf event.

Unfortunately for you, the festival was in August (I probably should have said that sooner. Shame.) but on Friday 9th October (that’s THIS FRIDAY FYI) they’re having the KITEIVAL (man I love that word) OPEN NIGHT where you can enjoy a film and slideshow about the festival. And if you’re a girl, pick up some hot kitesurfer dude. And if you’re a dude, pick up some hot kitesurfer lady. Or dude. Whatever.

Kite

So get on over to the Grand Bay Yacht Club on Friday 9th. The film starts at 8, but I suggest getting there around 7 for happy hour when there’s a buy one get one free special on beer. Also, if you book in advance you can get a barbecue pack for Rs 265.

Sweeeeet dude.

Is it a Yacht? Is it a Whale?

October 01, 2009 By: Coco Category: News, Useful Information

No, it’s the OCULUS! This, my little friends, is what we call a Super Yacht. And isn’t it super? The 250 ft pile of awesome was designed by Kevin Schöpfer, and while it is still only a concept, the Oculus is the flagship yacht (i’m sorry – Super Yacht) in Schöpfer’s new line.

Nice.

Nice.

Schöpfer describes the Oculus as

Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots. The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure. In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated. The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas. The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite. Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities. In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level, a private salon and deck / water feature. The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use.

A Low-Rider profile?? Well daaaaamn somebody’s gonna be getting some Wave Action! And I think the water feature’s a lovely touch…. even thought it might look a bit small when you’re travelling across The Ocean. Go HERE to order yours (it’ll only set you back about $95 Million).

Please...make yourselves at home...

Oh yes, I like what you've done with the place
