Hey Pete,

I've been to Eueiki island for a week kitesurfing, which in is vava'u. It's a flight to Tonga, flight to vava'u, then boat out, nice and remote. I went there with only kiting in mind and got loads more out of it in checking out the amazing environment and culture.

We went in September 2008 and had wind every day but one, 15-20 knts no more. They had a boat you could hire to go places to find waves or flat water but we just rode around sussing out the islands/reefs and doing some open water stuff. There wasn't much flat water around the island itself. The islands there are enclosed in a outer reef so it's not too bad for chop and amazing gliding over the reefs and then super deep blue water.

The american guy who owns the island lease is a sailor who does the water speed record thing on a carbon multi hull - there's a spit around there where he try's to beat the record. Him and his wife live there half the year with a couple of locals to help out, pretty low key relaxed setting.

There was about 10 people all up on the island (4 of us, couple of other guests and staff). They had all mod cons using a generator and was very comfortable. We drank them out of beer the second night and they went to the markets and bought more :) - was about the same price as home though so it was worth there while!

If you want any specific info let me know, would highly recommend it.
