wind surf sail without the mast. Wing surfing is not supposed to<br />

replace windsurfing, kiteboarding or surfing. It's a complement,<br />

an addition and an alternative. Wing surfing is very easy to get<br />

into and ideal for light winds when kitesurfing is not possible.<br />

Although it was conceived to be used with a foil board, it can<br />

also be for riding stand-up paddle boards (SUP), windsurf and<br />

kiteboards, and even skateboards and snowboards.<br />

Most people require at least 3 lessons of kitesurfing or wing<br />

surfing to go from zero to hero so be sure to book in at the<br />

start of your holiday. Lessons are constructed in 2 hour time<br />

blocks over three days so you can plan other activities around<br />

your lessons. Muri is the ideal learning spot with its clear,<br />

shallow, and warm waters and reliable S.E. Tradewinds from<br />

May-October. Gear hire is also available for experienced kiters/<br />

wingers.<br />

Dive Centres offer introduction courses for the beginners well<br />

as 2 tank dives for certified divers. All deep sea diving trips are<br />

boat-based and most of the dive sites are just ten minutes from<br />

the departure point. There are plenty of options for the beginner<br />

to advanced including drop offs, coral gardens, night dives,<br />

lagoon dives and family diving experiences (8 years and older).<br />

Up to 60 meter visibility, 73 types of live coral, and hundreds of<br />

fish species, Rarotonga is an ideal place to experience diving.<br />

Don’t leave it for your last day as you can’t dive with in 24hr<br />

of flying. Diving is good year round, but for an added highlight<br />

humpback whale migration season is July-September.<br />
