Mauritius is a natural destination for surfing. Well-known for the wave of “Tamarin”, Mauritius is another Indian Ocean surf paradise. The main surf spots in Mauritius are concentrated on the south and south west side of the island. The swell size sends surfers to the “Grand point” every morning. The swell size on the Grand point average is about 6 meters smaller than that on Reunion, this being attributed to the lesser 2015 Atlantic Ocean swell. The best months for surfing are between April and September.
With this in mind, it is but natural for surfers to bring their own surfboards to experience the waters of Mauritius. So rather than worry the entire flight about how your surfboard is faring and whether or not the vacation ahead is set to be a good one, the answer lies in packing the surfboard well.
There are several ways to protect your board, so you can arrive ready to disembark and head straight to surfing on your Mauritius holiday.
Buy or borrow a heavy-duty, appropriately sized board bag. Have a bag that is six inches or 15cm longer than the actual surfboard. The extra length leaves room for cushioning. You may wish to get a bag with wheels so that it’s easier to bring with you through long airport queues and getting to and from the airport. You can get bags with a single Z bag but the extra ‘A’ zone gives boarders more room to move, particularly on the swell.
Remove the rubber fails from the board. If you have access to a board repair service, this will remove the stress on your board and make it more stable. You can afford to have this done once or twice a year, however, the majority of Surfers Paradise’ s crashing waves come without any problems. Include in your luggage a spare set of thrills.
When you go out on a surf holiday, have a list of all the equipment you may need. Make sure you bring accessories like goggles, camera and a mobile phone (there is no guarantee that your mobile phone will be working where you are, so you may need to be able to reach reception and call in another country). You should also note any special licence required when bringing in fuel.

Glasses are a must. The quality of your eyesight is linked to the quality of your eyesight. You should order your shades before you go but make sure that you can still see without them.
Swim-guards are an accessory that you will feel blessed to have. They are used to prevent you from diving in the surf. They are found at most water holes and public swimming areas.
There are couple of reasons why you shouldn’t go swimming if you are a strong swimmer.
The first is that swimmers may have their attention attracted by the strange noises heard in the water.
Second, strong swimmers have been known to be disturbed by the vast amounts of traffic when entering the water, and may end up needing rescue.
To wear a swimming suit: use a long sleeve shirt and pants. Short sleeves are best for hands and face.
Pack warm. Temperatures in the water can drop drastically when you enter the water.
Do not wear bathers. Ibiza does not have bathers, so if you are tempted to wear one, please be aware that in addition to the cold, the sweat you will produce while swimmingmatches the stain on your swimsuit.
If you are glasses…NO. Flip flops are not encouraged. diving with flip flops is a sure way to get a blister. Also, flip flops are not easy to put on. Packing your swimsuit in a car trunk is not a great idea either.
Sunscreen needs to be applied. Be sure to take sunscreen with you and reapply throughout the day. Expect the sun to be harsh harshest in the sun-and on your face.
Children tend to splash a lot of water on their heads. Be careful when holding your hand or arms over water. Try to avoid fingers and toes touching the water.
Swimming can be a fun way to spend time with the family. However, be sure to mentioned safety concerns. Keep children in front and foremost in your vision at all times.
