Clear, warm tropical lagoon. Only 200m x 200m wide really. Flat water that can get a little rough if the ocean swell makes it over the reef. Not very deep and can stand up in most places. Watch out for coral. If the wind is cross-onshore you can continue to kite around the reef for about 1/3 of the island (going South). Tricky launch, very thin beach, 2-5 m in some places. Nice white sand. Need to stand in water for the safest launch. Coconut palms and buildings right up to waters edge. Not for a beginner. Trade winds seem to be from July to September. Otherwise it gets sea breezes and occasional storms. I don't think it would be very reliable outside trade winds season. South Pacific tropical island. Tends to rain a lot in the hills but it's is always somewhere sunny on the island. No need for a wetsuit in winter but take a blanket for night-time. T-shirt and shorts in summer. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Toilet, Food. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
