Kiteboarding and Windsurfing

Our time in New Caledonia was more focused on playing with our toys than visiting different areas.  Progressing our kite boarding was the major focus as there are great spots with consistent winds.  To make it even better there were loads of other cruisers who kite so we had a large group of patient mentors.   For the later half of our time in New Caledonia we met up with Tika again and the kids had lots of chances to learn to windsurf under the patient coaching of Russel.
