    Hi Everyone,
    We shot this video early September.
    The wind in Aitutaki can be a mixed bag. On a normal trip we get about 80% kite time.
    50% big kites 12m - 18m, 30% small kites 8m - 11m, 20% fishing and beers.

      Hi Guys! Great video! Saw your comments about early September. I'm planning to go there on mid October until November. I have an 9m and a 11m. Do you think that would be enough for that time of year? Thanks!

      Cheers, I haven't been in aitutaki Oct Nov but i recommend taking a light wind kite. A light wind session is better than no session ☺

    I mean, when you have to sell a kidney to afford the price for such a trip, you expect to kite EVERY SINGLE DAY with maximum a 9m kite ;)
