Pointe d’Esny is a fantastic kitesurfing, and wingfoiling spot on the south coast of Mauritius. With its deep waters and flat lagoon, it offers good winds but usually works best when conditions are strong at Le Morne. The spot is particularly attractive for wingfoiling thanks to its steady, accessible setup. From here, riders can also join incredible downwind trips with local schools, and enjoy both choppy water sections and perfectly flat water near the reef.
