9:00 AM – Personalized greeting and safety briefing
Your adventure begins right on the warm sand of Sakalava Bay. You are greeted by the team with a local refreshment. Together, you will discuss your skill level and your goals for the day. Your instructor introduces you to the body of water, explains the wind conditions (the famous Varatraza), and gives you your premium gear (sailing, board, harness, vest, and helmet).
9:30 am – Equipment preparation and adjustments
It's time for some technique work on the beach. If you're a beginner, you'll learn how to rig your sail, adopt the correct posture, and master the rules of priority. For independent riders, this is the time to adjust your board settings to maximize speed and riding comfort according to the strength of the morning wind.
10:00 AM – Launch and first sailing session
You drop anchor and set sail in the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of the lagoon. The first rides are on perfectly flat water, ideal for testing your footing and feeling the power of the wind. Beginners do their first planing under the watchful eye of the coach, while experts take the opportunity to work on their transitions and jump over the reef.
12:30 PM – Break for lunch and relaxation in front of the lagoon
After intense exertion, you can recharge your batteries with your feet in the sand. A lunch with Malagasy flavors (fresh grilled fish, coconut rice) is served at the partner restaurant facing the sea. This is the perfect time to share your impressions with other enthusiasts and relax in the shade of the casuarina trees.
2:00 PM – Afternoon skill session
The wind generally picks up in the early afternoon, offering even more exhilarating riding conditions. You return to the water for a second intense session. This is your chance to push your limits, try out new freestyle maneuvers, or simply enjoy the freedom of a long speed ride in a wild and unspoiled setting.
4:30 PM – Drop-off on the beach, debriefing, and end of the activity
You bring the equipment back to dry land. The day ends with a friendly debriefing with your instructor to analyze your progress and view some photos of your achievements. You rinse your gear before enjoying the exceptional sunset over the Bay of Sakalava, with your head full of memories.
