About this spot
Nosy Be is a tropical island located off the northwest coast of Madagascar. The spot is characterized by warm water and a variety of launch sites ranging from flat water bays to light chop. The primary kiting season runs from April to November, driven by reliable trade winds during the dry season. While the winds are generally lighter than in the north of the country, the scenery and reliable conditions make it a top choice for adventure-seeking kiters.
