Whether you’re a seasoned pro craving strong trade winds or a beginner looking for gentle breezes in a lagoon setting, this episode is your complete seasonal travel guide.
We cover iconic wind spots like Fiji’s Nananu-i-Ra for advanced riders, Moorea’s Temae Beach for intermediates, and Muri Lagoon in the Cook Islands for first-timers. Learn when to visit—May to October for reliable winds, November to March for calm training waters—and how each location stacks up in terms of scenery, water conditions, and local vibe. Discover lesser-known gems like Îlot Maitre in New Caledonia and Pangaimotu Island in Tonga, where flat water and steady winds create perfect riding environments.
