The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.

At Kiteaholic Bastard, our philosophy is simple: to provide a premium kitesurfing experience, you need premium equipment.
We don’t cut corners when it comes to your safety or your progression.
This is why we have carefully selected Duotone and Airush as our primary gear partners.
These brands are world leaders, known for their relentless innovation and build quality.
By using the latest models from these industry giants, we ensure that our students at Anse la Raie are learning on gear that is lighter, safer and more intuitive than ever before.
When you are out in the lagoon, having a kite that responds perfectly to your touch makes all the difference in building your confidence.
Duotone: Setting the Benchmark for Innovation
Duotone is synonymous with “True Kiteboarding.”
We use their equipment—specifically models like the Evo and Neo—because of their incredible stability and “sheet-and-go” power delivery.
For a student, this means the kite feels predictable and easy to relaunch from the water, which is crucial in the early stages of learning.
Furthermore, Duotone’s Click Bar technology is a game-changer for our lessons; it offers the most advanced integrated trim system on the market, allowing you to depower the kite with a simple click.
This level of control, combined with our radio-assisted coaching, creates a safe environment where you can focus entirely on your technique.
Why Premium Gear Matters:
- Enhanced Safety: Industry-leading quick-release systems.
- Easier Relaunch: Advanced kite shapes that pop off the water instantly.
- Lightweight Tech: Better performance in the light-wind days of Mauritius.
- Precision Control: Ergonomic bars designed for comfort and response.
- Durability: Gear that handles the tropical sun and salt with ease.
Airush: Engineered for Performance and Sustainability
Airush has been a pioneer in the industry for decades and their commitment to “Innovation, Durability and Sustainability” aligns perfectly with our values.
We utilize Airush kites like the Lithium, widely regarded as the ultimate “quiver killer”, because they are exceptionally forgiving for beginners while offering plenty of performance for intermediate riders to grow into.
Their Load Frame technology ensures the kites maintain their shape and responsiveness over time, giving you a crisp, direct feel during every session.
By choosing Airush, we provide you with gear that isn’t just high performing, but also built with a forward thinking approach to the environment we all love to ride in.
