Downwinders, drift dives and Manta Rays! Highlights from Reo Stevens' Tuamotu Kitesurfing Adventure 2018 Trip 2
Looks epic for flatwater and diving! Are there any waves as good as the Marshals on this trip?

There's a chance for some good wave kiting, but overall the Tuamotus are VERY inconsistent for surf (hence why the surf charter there failed) so it's more of a flat water destination with a chance at waves but not enough where I recommend coming with that in mind.
Even a wave junky like myself finds this place as one of the best destinations you can visit. We scored great wind this season, but honestly IMO perfect trip would consist of 5days of wind and 5days of glassy conditions to experience everything else that the Tuamotus has to offer.
But if waves are your thing - Marshall Islands 100%
I love it all, flat water, foiling, waves, but I must say waves are always my preferred option. The diving in both places looks extraordinary. I mean geeze, both places are stunning, I don't think anyone could go wrong in either. I have been to Tahiti and loved it, and the chance to go the Marshals is way way up there on the "want to do" list.

Then it just depends on your schedule.. Marshalls are January and march. Tuamotu are in July and you can stop in Tahiti to/from. Either trip will not disappoint!

Feb 2020 will be my window. Trying to get a couple people interested, have one for sure. Leaving for Europe in April for 4 months so 2019 is out for me...
