Overview

Edit

Welcome to the kite paradise and a dream location of flat water, waves, downwind to the “mainland” or anywhere around and the safety of a rescue boat! Namotu island is waiting for you!

Water and air are warm all year long, don’t be discouraged by the rainy season!

Wind

Jun-Sep is the best season.

Dangers

Coral reef

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
