Aitutaki is one of the best flat water spot in the world. On low tide you can reach top speed on 10 cm shallow water.
this is a video of my recent trip there. 16 knoths wind and 12 mt kite.......and only 3 people in the pristine clear water of the lagoon.
Plummet.....on the first jump with GOPRO i lost the camera...i was lucky to find it as i didnt have the inflatable protection....this is a video only to show how great is the spot...
It is what it is, hence the title of the topic. There are waves there, these photo's were taken less than 50mtr from where the video was filmed.
Admittedly it is a shallow reef but if you have the ticker and a quick bottum turn, who knows...
If you not chasing flat water then you would be bored to tears with this place. That would be why there are places like Fiji, Indonesia ect. Different strokes for different folks.
