Hi All

I'm looking at a two holiday next July with the misses somewhere in the pacific and was thinking maybe Vanuatu or New Caledonia. We are looking for some wind if possible or some beginner surf and lets just be crazy and asked for both!!!!
I'm a reasonable windsurfer just getting into small waves so I would be happy sailing or taking a SUP and have a chilled time. Just somewhere nice with good food and Jack Daniels

Now this may not go down well but I can't be asked going to Maui or anywhere that far even though it's been a dream for 20 years and the misses will pay for it............hold on!

Cheers

Scott

I think you'll find you could be arsed going to Maui because I suspect the total travel time might be less than the total travel time to New Cal or similar. You can certainly fly direct to Oahu from most eastern cities. Might be cheaper too.

Hum...., New Cal is a two hours flight from Australia
(return airfare from Syd or Brisbane prob around 600 $)

But I can't garantee wind in july, nor waves if you don't have a boat to take you to the reef...

Vanuatu you'd need to take your gear with you.

I was looking for great conditions a little closer to home without the massive crowds. I guess i just never looked that hard and there is so much choice with Oahu and Maui that i thought about something a little more low key.

Maui is perfect in July and if you're looking for low key, stay in a place on the north shore like Paia or Haiku. They are so low key you feel a bit conspicious as a tourist! About a 20 minute drive to awesome Kanaha, which has heaps of parking and is relatively uncrowded.
