Also if there is any good spots on the island for smaller gts etc as only have pe6

Hi, where abouts in NC are you headed? If you only plan to stay in Noumea I wouldnt bother with the land based. Someone correct me if im wrong but i spent 4 months in Noumea and never really saw the potential for LB. Plenty of wind though if your into kiting, wind surfing etc

Yeh noumea. Heard there might be northern parts but how far would it be considering I'd have no car etc

The Island is quite big, without a car the northern parts might be quite difficult. I took a top water set with me and it came back unused. Unless you have access to a boat/charter I would just spend my time bumming on the beach. Do yourself a favour and visit a place called "Au Petit Cafe" Cheers

Thanks for the heads up. Yeh don't wanna cart something all the way over and no use it. Will have to decide today whether to take the gear or not

Whats worse? taking your gear over and not using it or not taking it and missing some epic opportunities...

It aint no use if it aint chartreuse!
