Looking for recommendations here: What size kites would you bring to Aitutaki for end of August-early September? We ride twin tips and we have 7, 9, 11, and 14 Naish Rides. I'm 54 kg and my partner is 93 kg. Should we bring all 4? Maybe we (I) won't need the 7?
Also, I'm always cold. I wore a 1 mm wetsuit jacket in Maui in October and that was great. I wore it in Turks in February, although it was a bit too much there but better than nothing. Should I bring it? Or a 1 mm vest and/or a polypro rashguard? Just how "cold" is winter in Aitutaki?
We'll bring reef booties and bug spray and the usual stuff. Any other helpful tips from those who've been? That water looks A-mazing! Thx

Re: Aitutaki Aug.-Sept. - Which kites? Wetties?
take em all, 7 not so much but can nuke for days, it's warm.
There is no guarantee of wind, can turn off and on -it's not like Maui, can be all time tho. Longer you stay more likely. Make sure you ride in NZ if you connect from NZ. :-0
