Hi Guys,

Has anyone been to Aitutaki in August? I'm 85kg and I have 12 and 9m kites which are fine for Melbourne but I've heard rumours that Aitutaki can be a bit light. Do I need a light wind kite? Also, staying at Ootu's beach. Has anyone kited there or is it just better to stick to Honeymoon Island?

Thanks.

Tom

Hi Tom, plenty of great reports on Aitutaki and it looks fantastic. Wind goes in cycles - builds up over a few days, blows hard for a bit and then backs off for a bit. I'm there from 9 August for 2 weeks, staying at Ranginui's which I think is at Ootu beach. I weigh about 70kg and am taking 11 and 9 m kites. I reckon you want something to get you out in a about 16 knots plus. Only about 12 weeks to go, counting em down! Reckon I'll see you there. Cheers, Chris.

Sounds like a cool place. How much are flights? From gold coast or brizzy.
