I think you'll find you could be arsed going to Maui because I suspect the total travel time might be less than the total travel time to New Cal or similar. You can certainly fly direct to Oahu from most eastern cities. Might be cheaper too.
Hum...., New Cal is a two hours flight from Australia
(return airfare from Syd or Brisbane prob around 600 $)
But I can't garantee wind in july, nor waves if you don't have a boat to take you to the reef...
Vanuatu you'd need to take your gear with you.
