How to get there
Get to the Lagoon Resort & Spa Beach on Aitutaki. It’s though a private island, so when call the resort to ask permission you get told that you cannot launch from the island. But, the southern tip of the island, just sand that gets larger in low tide is used to set up and launch the kite, then you can ride. This spot can be reached easily with kayak free of charge.
