Kiteboarding in Fiji

I’ve been waiting a long time for this: kiteboarding in Fiji. The wind finally arrives. It’s been building up all morning. I knew it would be good because my heart had been pounding all morning. After 5 weeks without kiteboarding in Fiji, we finally get going today. The clouds are gone, the wind is there.

After lunch, we take the boat out to a sandbank off Ellington Wharf. At low tide, there’s no kiteboarding on Nananu-i-Ra either: like everywhere else on Fiji, the sharp coral is too close to the surface. The wind blows on the sandbank, my wind, exactly my strength.

I go out with my good 12 nitro. Although my kite is definitely not a gust killer, it goes quite well through all the gusts. I kiteboard across the whole bay, back. Waves are splashing in my face and the wind is tearing me across the water. I lose my kiteboard once, get it back and keep going.

I’ve waited this long. Four months travelling the world, and the best I’ve done so far was 2 hours near San Francisco. The wind is safe enough to jump. The beach watchers think it was just one metre. But anyway, kiteboarding in Fiji today felt like flying.

Sotos loses a kite during training and is blown across the bay. I save the kite and declare myself the kiteboarding hero of the day and king of the bay. A young New Zealander always drifts off. But my kiteboard tracks cut up the water in Fiji today like railway tracks. After six days in the doldrums, I come home today with a grin, limited only by the position of my ears. Kiteboarding in Fiji.

Addendum for Google: Sounds like crap when you use kiteboarding in Fiji so often. But I use kiteboarding in Fiji so often because I want to prove something to a hotel owner. Need a little more work. I want the top position in Google for Kiteboarding in Fiji. Just keep repeating, kiteboarding in Fiji. Sometimes it’s really so monotonous and easy to get to the top with one term. Kiteboarding in Fiji rocks. The winds are perfect for kiteboarding in Fiji, especially here on Nananu-i-Ra- Kiteboarding in Fiji…and tomorrow the really strong wind is coming.
