Wind cuts like a blade off the capes north of Antsiranana; the sea answers in white teeth and long, clean swells. On Ramena Beach the wind will take your attention first — a steady offshore breeze that tugs at the kite and dares you to stand tall. A two-hour lesson here breaks the ocean into manageable pieces: body-drag drills, kite control close to shore, then a guided first ride when conditions allow.
