Aren't there some islands that are windy and don't attract crowds in the South Pacific?
Cook Islands:

Plenty of kiting action here judging by all the ads I see. Supposedly the most beautiful lagoon in the world too.
Where are the windsurfing destinations??? I am only familiar with one place in Fiji that has windsurf gear for hire, Safari Lodge.
But what I don't know about windsurfing holiday destinations near Australia could fill an internet thread.
How about WA?
evlPanda Kiters have a travel advantage over windsurfers. That doesn't mean that you can't transport your equipment somewhere, it's just harder. Now, how about French Polynesia?
French Polynesia is an awesome place to sail.
The lagoon on Bora Bora is just paradise. The islands get the trades and there is a healthy windsurfing scene. Some spots on Moorea are good but the currents when the tides are changing can be scary. Huge amounts of water trying to get out of narrow passes in the reef can run at 8-9 knots.
Lots of guys sail off the shore near Faaa airport on the main island (Tahiti) and do runs out to the reef. Ive heard of guys doing the Sea of the Moon channel crossing between Papeete and Moorea (11 miles).
There is a NP/JP importer and a Maui sails importer in Papeete.
Pretty sure there isnt any hire facilities available but who knows.
Cheers.
Tahiti is indeed an awesome place.
For hiring gear, there is Mel (www.tematai.com) who's pretty much every day at the main spot in Tahiti, Mahina.
He is also an instructor and can manage a few nice tricks 
, Nahoata in Arue. Depending on the year he imports whatever he feels like, it's almost different every year.
Give it a good La Nina (and hence strengthened Trades) and this place in Kiribati looks pretty awesome...

safari lodge north of fiji is a really good spot.

a great tropical getaway..... flatwater/ ocean swell though! not surf.
Thanks fellas for all the replies. It will take some time for me to digest them, but you definitely gave me a good answer to my quest.
