Just happened to be in Noumea on the weekend of slalom racing.
Only 12-15 knts on Saturday & Sunday not enough wind.
That's pretty light conditions for New Caledonia.

Video shot from our balcony at La Promenade Hotel with a little Canon Legria on tripod. It's about 1.5km from there to that first island, Ile aux Canard (Duck Is).

At 2.34 note all the kites at Ilot Maitre (second island in background). They're like a cloud over the island!

more later on sailing & holidaying there...
cheers

Great vid Pete, it looks like WS is alive and well!

just adding to Peter's great vid :

i was taping my feet and bobbing my head , i don't know weather i want to hit the beach or the night night club

look like a awesome place - wish i could join you

The vid taken from nose of board shows what an amazing piece of engineering the uj is, such a small piece of kit, and such a major part in the whole set up staying together under force
