Flat in the huge lagoon. Deep out of the sand platform, shallow inside with mix of sand and reef rocks.

Really small beach, sometimes wind comes sideoffshore and launching area is behind the palms. The island is private, but you can launch kite on the southern tip and reach it with a kayak. No kitesurf is allowed inside the lagoon otherwise from other spots.

The summer time trade winds blow stronger than in Rarotonga, locals told me that seems to be a kind of cycle with one week strong wind and then one week light (10-12 knots). I had 6 good days out of 12. 2 days 40 knots, 2 days 20 knots and 2 days 12-15. The rest like 10-12 every day.

Get to the Lagoon Resort & Spa Beach on Aitutaki. It’s though a private island, so when call the resort to ask permission you get told that you cannot launch from the island. But, the southern tip of the island, just sand that gets larger in low tide is used to set up and launch the kite, then you can ride. This spot can be reached easily with kayak free of charge.

Lagoon Resort is supposed to be restricted, only for clients. Anyway other kiters came to launching area and nobody said anything. Most lodges have kayaks, so you can cross the channel easily.

Zero, but local dances two times per week.
