Howdy all..

We've been having some awesome trades this winter...Over the last 10 days we've kited the following:
Tuesday 2nd - 12m
Monday 1st - 10.5m + 9m
Sunday 31st - 10.5m + 11m
Saturday 30th - 9m + 11m
Friday 29th - 9m + 12m
Thursday 28th - 12m + 14m
Wednesday 27th - 12m + 16m
Tuesday 26th - 10m + 9m
Monday 25th - 9m - 12m
Sunday 24th - 11m + 13m
Saturday 23rd - 9m + 11m
Friday 22nd - 9m + 10m
Thursday 21st - 10m + 12m

The kiting has been lovely, we did have a low move in middle of last week that kept it quieter for a few days, hence the 14 and 16, but we were out there...

Had a great bunch of 10 Air NZ Pilots here with us kiting last week...they liked the warm waters and consistent winds...great times.

Call me on + 679 9488888 or +679 628 3332 if your around Nananu for a kite...If you need transfers or transport, email or call me

Fiji Rocks
Spent last week there, what a fantastic winter escape.
Thanks to the Glen Hooper and the crew for a fantastic week.
Great wind, waves and flat water.

I live in Suva, we get "some" good wind and have a great flat water spot behind a long low break wall. There is a nice left near a sand island not too far out.
The coral coast is where the wind is at though, it funnels down the coast and gets good around Sigatoka sand dunes which is the only real beach break in fiji. There are heaps of beautiful flat water lagoons around there too.
We are always up for a sesh in Suva, getting out most days during the trades. Mostly on bigger kites but occasionally when a low is around we get blasted.
