Both Rarotonga and Aitutaki are considered amongst the best kiteboarding locations in the world, offering up perfect conditions for kite lessons and uncrowded riding conditions.
The trade winds passing through the Cook Islands between May to October, combined with the passing low pressure systems in the tropical belt, make for perfect kitesurfing conditions for all skill levels.
Kitesurfing as a sport is building its Juniors towards International representation, using their stellar event the Manureva, held annually in Aitutaki as a great measuring ground and time to freshen up coaching tips from professionals competing at the event! Too young this time around for the Youth Olympic Games, there are some outstanding young kiters dedicating their time to the pursuit of excellence with a firm goal in mind to represent their country!
