hey iim heading to vanuatu in late feb does anyone k now if it blows there or if the sailing's decent? contemplating taking gear... maybe some freestlying to be had? no waves i don't think :s

was in same position as you 2 years back. it's a fairly windless place. ok for kiting in 12 knots but generally useless wind for windurfing. south side seems to be the best for wind, and virtually no wind up north. if you can island hop to newcaledonia that's a different story

New Caledonia is definitely good, I went there a while back and they have great conditions. The location we were at was not unlike Manly with regards to the island a few k's off shore but the beach was sand and the water was crystal clear.

There was also a lot of great gear to hire there and the rates were quite reasonable.

Any chance of a change of venue? It was a great holiday but you will need to know a bit of French to get dinner. We enjoyed it immensely

im not sure if your skill level is up to vanuatu yet bowsa... maybe better to stay on the beach..... :)
