KSP - Mauritius - One Eye/Morne 7 september tot 16 september
Stop two of the 2012 KSP tour will bring last years legendary event back on the schedule. A long, left-hand reef break famous for its strong side-offshore winds and barreling, near-perfect, head-high to quadruple-overhead surf, One Eye will keep this year’s crowd on edge, waiting to see what conditions it dishes up — especially after last year’s jaw-dropping spectacle.
The KSP One Eye Pro event in 2011 put Le Morne on the wishlist for every kite surfer (if it was not before) as it showed just how perfect it gets. Side-off winds and perfect, clean, pealing walls deliver a great show for the public and adrenaline for the athletes alike. Not a spot for beginners - the One Eye reef certainly is one of the spots that can not be missing on the KSP tour schedule.

Le Morne, Mauritius - August 28, 2012: Stop number two of this year’s KSP season will take the tour back to the location of last year’s most talked about event. From September 7 to 16, 2012 the world’s best kite surfers will gather once again at the foot of the Le Morne Mountain in the pristine southwest corner of Mauritius Island.
In the wake of last year’s mind-blowing conditions and performances, the One Eye Kite Surf Pro on Mauritius is immensely anticipated by riders, organizers, sponsors and media alike. The long, barreling, left-hand reef break at One Eye, featuring side-offshore winds and near-perfect, head-high to quadruple-overhead high surf, is already warming up for the event by delivering large surf over the past week for riders already on location to train.
KSP vice-president Sky Solbach says: “The One Eye event is quite simply one of the most anticipated events on tour. Last year’s crazy conditions turned a lot of heads and we’re all really looking forward to see what One Eye will dish up this time around. With the southern hemisphere swell season kicking into high gear, we are optimistic about the prospect of great conditions during the ten day holding period.”
