Hey Paul,
What sort of wind and waves do you get there? Are there typical wind patterns if so what do they consist of? Do you still have new kite gear available sparing folks the need to travel with boards or even kites if they want to? Also, how is underwater viz. there?
Great shot! Looks like an polynesian outrigger sail. Are these very common over there?
