There are plenty of idyllic beaches around the world where one can kitesurf and of course Mauritius is globally referred as one of the best spots. …but those in the know will tell you that Rodrigues, its “less known” sister island offers even better conditions for freeride kitesurfing all year round. So, one can only imagine what kind of skills you could hone if you were raised on these very shores – like Louka Pitot was. As someone who learned to kitesurf almost as soon as he could walk, Louka has become a world-renowned professional athlete and one of the island’s proudest exports – and has managed to scoop several junior world championships while he’s at it.
A word from our champion:
– “I am blessed to become an ambassador for the Mourouk Ebony Hotel.
This place, which is among the best kitesurfing lagoons in the world, has a very special place in my heart. It’s kind of where it all started for me. I used to go there every year with my family for kiting, and it is where I learned my first unhooked tricks. It is also where I competed for the first time in 2013. To now be raising these colors around the globe makes me extremely happy, and I am really looking forward to showing you more about this destination very soon.”

Where To From Here?
While Louka is still a young rider himself – that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten where he’s come from and doesn’t want to help others get where he is today. For this reason, he’s involved in many outreach projects in Mauritius and Rodrigues, where he encourages young kitesurfers to get involved in the sport. As one of the premier hotels on Rodrigues, The Mourouk Ebony has proudly chosen to sponsor Louka Pitot in his efforts. Located on the beach on the Southern Coast, the hotel is perfectly placed near one of the best kitesurfing spots on the island – so who better than him to help things get underway?
