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!

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.

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.
