Anyone kite the Maldives in may?
Am heading there in May on a surf trip but am considering throwing in a kite in case the wind fills in. 8m or 10m bws noise? Any advice appreciated.

Rarely any wind there, surf is sick though, but check this before you go just in case...www.windguru.cz/4158

Hey mate,

I kited over there in 2007 I was working there for 6 months, from April to September, yes you can get some wind...its light but occasionally it comes up and its pretty good. Only kited in the lagoons, but watched a couple of guys wash up on the left hander Honkys trying to kite in far too light conditions...

My opinion surf surf and take a kite and maybe you'll get lucky...

Enjoy its water world over there...looking forward to the day I go back :)
Nathan.

Thanks guys, didn't end up taking kites due to luggage weight. Murphy's law - it blew over 13 knots for 5 days out of 8 and the swell was 0.5ft till the last two days where it can up to 2ft. Rule of thumb - one less board add take a kite ever time.
