I've got a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks at Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, I'd already thought I wouldn't bother taking kiting gear as it's off season but I just had a look on Windguru and there seems to be some wind!

Is this a freak occurrence or should I pay some excess to take some kiting gear?

Anyone know the go in Raratonga? (I'm staying in the SW, but I assume it's simple enough to get around the island)

and, the wind at the moment is a bit of a hangover from Cyclone Pat.???

Statistically the 'trade' wind starts in May, but you can get wind in any season...the direction varies but stabilises from the SE, E after May to some extent

you can see some Aitutaki wind stats at www.kiteboardaitutaki.com; might help though often different to raro

take your gear, you'll spit if its on and you don't' have it!
