hey heading to fiji in august, not sure if i should take a kite or not. Staying at sheraton denarau for a wedding for a week looks like trade winds are southerly round aug so may not be worth it as the beach there looks like it would only work in east through north to nw. Could maybe walk around the headland to get southerly? Anyone stayed there and reckon you could launch off the beach as wont be traveling much also what wind range thinking 12m? Says windsurf gear for hire so hoping there is wind otherwise will have to do something gay like tennis or hire a poley but would rather go for long walks on the beach then wind surf.

Thanks

Coral coast the go

i took my kite gear to fiji in july last year. we spent most our time on the Yasawa islands so i can't comment on your location. but we had a couple of good days of wind when we were there. only problem was that i was on the wrong side of the island and didn't have alot of time to go for a treak to the other side of those islands. alot of the resorts are located on the west side of islands i suppose for the very purpose of sheltering from the trade winds. I didn't think trade winds went southerly?? i thought the trades were predominately easterly. they were east when i was there. if i were you i'd bring the gear. besides once you are there you hardly have to carry your own bags anyway
