Antandroy – People of the thorns – more than a kite trip, a timeless journey.

Before leaving, Madagascar was just a wave and some wind. But once in Lavanono, there is much more than that, we discovered an extraordinary people: the Antandroy, the people of the thorns.
We shared our two worlds: we surfed on extreme and beautiful spots, and tried to introduce them to our passion; on the other hand, they opened the doors of their village, their customs, their way of life. Nobody comes back from Lavanono untouched, inevitably we all leave a small piece of our heart.

Antandroy, more than a kite trip, a timeless journey.
