Off to Plantation island in Fiji soon. I searched past topics but there is not much on the best kitesurfing around plantation. Anyone able to fill me in?
I heard there is a sandbar out the front for flat water. Are there any good wave spots close by?
Also I heard that the restrictions on Cloudbreak (i.e. pay $400 a day or get booted) have been lifted by the Fijian government. Has anyone been since (apart from Ben Wilson on an 11m day)? Is it a total mosh?
Yeah as far as i have heard all go at Cloudbreak.Going to plantation on the 2nd August.When are you?
luck bastards! I would be keen to know how you find the resort for kids and kiting when you get back
Namotu is the spot! It's pretty close to plantation and the crew on the island are legends.
Bennie: I'll let you know too!
SBD: I'm going on Saturday (16th July) for a week. PM me when I get back if you want me to answer any specific qs.
JW: Namotu looks awesome - do they allow daytrippers?
Went there about 9 years ago and took my gear. No trades while I was there but had some winds from the NW, only got 1 kite in out the front of the resort.
The resort is sheltered from the trades so you either need to get a boat to the sandbar to kite or take a walk to the SW corner of the island. Not sure what it is like off the tip - but SHQ in Vic used to take kite trips there years ago.
Would love to get to Namotu one day.
