all depends on what style of accommodation you are looking for, what kind of riding you like, what time of year you can go & how much you want to spend.

As JayP said, do a forum search and there are a few threads on this subject, personally I'm off to the Cook Islands. Looking for cheap accomm, fresh trade winds, flat water, sunshine, good friends and to eat a bucket load of fresh seafood.

flatwater (snore) i'd rather stay at home and watch the footyactually i know a place in the pacific where I and my friends can go for 10 days for 1 k each including airfares and everything else and still watch the footy

Just brilliant team. Thanks for the kick start. I am now leaning towards the Cook islands. PNG sounds exquisite so have tucked that one away for future reference.

I am a learner so I am also seeking out tuition whilst whereever. If any of you have someone or some organisation on any of the many mentioned islands above I'd also love to hear about them.

Thanks again for all your help thus far.

I reckon the wind would be more consistant in the cocos

Searching the net Tonga looks and sounds pretty special. I have done a forum search but come up blank.

Can anyone offer any insight into their experiences kite boarding in Tonga?

For sure if you have any questions on Fiji, just PM me.

I'll be happy to answer them.

I also recomend Deane from Auckland Kitesurf Centre.

Last year during winter i spent 10 days with Deane and a group of other kiters on Aitutaki (Cook Islands). Fabulous location with a beautiful turquoise logoon. Great kiting for all levels, shallow bays for beginners and big downwinders for the more experienced and good conditions to practice new moves. I went in August when the trade winds blow.
I travelled with a conmpany called Auckland Kitesurf Centre. They run 10 day or 2 week holidays. The accomodation was ideally situated for swimming and chilling by the resort and spa.
Water taxis took you to the outer islands on the windy days and your scooter was included . BBQ meals where shared as a group keeping the meal costs down.
Deane also organised other activities when there was no wind, beach volley ball , sup etc.
The scuba diving is also very good as well.

Only 44 days until we head to the Cook islands, anyone on here going on the 15th July trip?
