Its my last year in my 30s today and thinking of ideas for my birthday next year

Im looking to go to warm water Surf with a side of
Kiting
Fishing
Diving
with the Mrs for 2 weeks
Possible 2 kids for one of the weeks

Thinking:
Fiji
Ive thought of Namotu but US$5k+ for 5 days is a bit steep
Is there a resort in Fiji that has good breaks near by

Tahiti (Moreea Island)

New Caledonia

Hawaii: Not sure where to go as there are a million Islands

Indo???

We just did 3 weeks in Hawaii (Oahu & the Big Island of Hawaii) and loved it. We have rebooked Oahu / Maui for June 2019...

That would be nice, but the only way Id be going to Hawaii on my own was either through midlife crisis or divorce

I've enjoyed several trips to the Maldives. Plenty of options for family activities..
Can be expensive, but life begins at 40..

On your 40th first try AUS1111's suggestion :

Asian+Blonde

then afterwards you might get the added bonus of the second.

Aitutaki is amazing but there is not one windsurfer to hire , ive tried . There is a good kite scene though. Water is that blue it looks fake .

I'm with Cauncy plenty of places in WA to celebrate and we need the money in the local economies.

But yeah whatever you choose do it with the family and or a small group of good friends.
