From July 31 to August 3, 2025, the island of Rodrigues will host the 10th edition of the Rodrigues International Kitesurf Festival (RIKF), a not-to-be-missed event for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Located on the island's south-east coast, the festival has become a major meeting place for kitesurfers from all over the world, attracting both professionals and passionate amateurs.
An ideal setting for kitesurfing
Rodrigues, with its turquoise lagoons and constant winds, offers ideal conditions for kitesurfing. The mythical spot of Mourouk, where the festival takes place, is renowned for its shallow waters and winds parallel to the coast, allowing surfers to set off in complete safety and enjoy their favorite sport to the full.
An Ecological and Sports Festival
The RIKF is more than just a kitesurfing competition. It also aims to promote Rodrigues as an ecological, sporting and tourist destination. The festival includes competitions, lagoon rides, barbecues and festive evenings, all in a friendly, environmentally-friendly atmosphere. The impact on nature is kept to a minimum, ensuring that the activity is well received by the local population.
International ambitions
Since its creation in 2013, RIKF's ambition has been to popularize kitesurfing among the local population, encourage the professional development of the sport and raise awareness of Rodrigues' potential in the world of kitesurfing. The island, with its 220 days of wind a year, has become a destination of choice for kitesurfing enthusiasts.
A Rich and Varied Program
The festival program includes kitesurfing competitions, freestyle demonstrations, speed races and introductions for beginners. Participants can also enjoy moments of relaxation with lagoon rides and barbecue evenings on the beach. The festival is open to all, from professionals to amateurs, and promises unforgettable moments of sharing and conviviality.
