Vanuatu/New Caledonia in September

...or is it New Caledonia I want to go to? Confused. I really need a holiday.

LOL earthquake, seriously ???

Hunter island is closer to Vanuatu than to us. (they even tried to pinch it from us once but shot through when we sent the navy )
Never had an earthquake do any damage in new cal.

No hire gear in Vanuatu, great destination but you've seen it all in a week end. Don't get me wrong I like the place, cheap, relaxed, nice people, but not much to do or see (great scuba diving though).

Fly to nouméa direct from Sydney, grab a hotel room around Anse Vata beach and rent your freeride gear (futura/ryde) from Aloha windsurfing.

+ if you bring me a jar of Vegemite I'll sail with you !!

$1290 for 5 nights at Le Meridian and return airfares from Sydney. No contest. Check out the link I posted on Illawarra Speedsters Facebook page.

Cheers y'all

I can't find the link on the Illawarra Speedsters FriendFace page. Perhaps I don't have enough friends?
Can you post here?

@sean: would you like regular vegemite or the new Dick Smith one?

Holy **** that's a good deal. Looks like my first windsurf holiday. Finally.
Even my better half is keen.

Will bring jumbo size vegemite.

Mate, there's several NSW sailors going together in November (I think). It would be a really great trip with those guys. I think some maybe taking their partners and I know of at least one female sailor going as well. I'm sure you're partner will love NC too.

I can attest that it's a great place to sail. Had nothing less than 25kts every day for 2 weeks, but it regularly exceeded 30kts by 3pm most afternoons. It was around 18-20kts by 10am every day... that's a lot of TOW. The wind was really consistent too and the water was lovely... boardies and rashie every day. I'll be back again that's for sure.

Here's video I made, which I posted on SB before, but here it is again. If it doesn't get you amped for a $1300 week in paradise, nothing will What are you waiting for, grab that credit card and go

Girls will be happy !! :-)

Every time I mention you I get "oh oui, Naijelle, with the blue eyes, the muscles and tatoos...."



love that clip ! Will look even better next time with red sails !!

I was lucky enough to spend a day with Sean in new cal. Very very awesome windsurfing.

Do you know what week the red sales team is going? cheers

Take booties most of the vanuatu coast is coral and sharp as ****! the infection is not worth the hassle! and trust me from living there you don't wanna end up in Port Vila hospital! plus side water is warm and people are cool!
