Hmmmm..... Well I've been here in Fiji for the last4 days and the most wind I have seen is 15knots or less. So I'm not sure where this 20+ knots is coming from.
Had a few good waves though. ![]()
Staying on mana is but surfing at Namotu and Tavarua each day but hoping to get kite in the waves sometime this week.
Oooops: I kid you not just as I type this Saffer has just kited past my bure... Looks like I may have spoken too soon. Just on 16knots already this morning so there is hope.:-)

We've had 25+ knots since last Friday - been a huge week of winds...and the weeks start starting!
Been kiting on 7m kites and loving it. Yesterday had 25 knots again, no shortage of wind up here in the Vatu-I-Ra Passage as the local squeeze adds another 5+ knots to the nadi forecasts.
Hope this weeks group of kiters survive the week.....going to be close!

Just back yesterday from Fiji, Nananu-i-ra, Safari lodge.
A yacht moored on the lee side was getting 38kt gust on his readings.
I retreated from the 7m to sailboarding on sub 5m sails and sub 90L boards for middle part of week.
Not usual Trade winds til Thursday Friday when it settled to the 20-25kt Trades we are used to. Something to do with the weird NZ weather.
Seventh year there, yet to be disappointed. Although now I get more picky with tide and going to my favourite reef spots.
How many days were you there this trip and how many days kiting did you get? Did safari lodge last year and the Cook islands this year, got 8 out of the 11 days kiting on the Cooks this year but they also had problems with the trades setting in. After 7 trips to Fiji how did this year compare tp the others wind wise? Thinking cocos next year or Egypt
we were there 10 days this time instead of the normal 15. (one day I couldn't bother with a fully depowered 7m so windsurfed)
from reports of those there already we would have had about 3 unkitable days and maybe 2 days of barely kitable. the 10 days there were full on all 10 days.
However the first couple of days did need to be out at the outer reef due to a bit more South in the wind than is usual for trades.
the guys already there were talking about having kited in the bay in front of Bethams and McDonalds which I have never even closely seen posible, so wind was far from normal.
I go for the extreme hammocking, plus each and every year the faceless email addresses building up the group all become humans as they arrive and great friends by the time they leave.
Kiting and windsurfing are just the icing on the cake. Plus after 7 years of exploring, we know some secret spots.
this week looking good in fiji 10 feet of swell and 20 knots of wind for a few days tue/wed.. should be some awesome kiting - come check it out ! id bring a surfboard too.
