Papua New Guinea Kiteboarding Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The Larubada trade wind begins in late May and lasts through November, consistently blowing 18-plus knots, making this the prime season for kiteboarding. Fortunately, it's also the drier season as well.
  • You needn't travel far to find good kiteboarding spots: Right around the capital of Port Moresby, Sero Beach is a popular locale with a shallow lagoon and offshore reef break. Or, take a speedboat from Port Moresby to Daugo Island, where both flat water and waves are available on or off the reef.
  • About a two-hour drive from Port Moresby, Hula is a large, flat peninsula that makes good use of the Larubada trade winds with beach breaks on one side and a sheltered bay with flat water on the other.

Beach Overview: Papua New Guinea

By Matt Link
On a map it may appear to be part of Southeast Asia, but Papua New Guinea is distinctly Pacific in its ambience and culture. "PNG" is home to over 600 islands and 850 languages, not to mention 9,000 species of plants and 250 species of mammals in its mega-diverse ecosystems. As for ocean life, the confluence of three seas brings a vast biodiversity to the reefs. The lush offshore islands, some of them the size of countries, are happily devoid of tourists and sometimes any tourist infrastructure. Rainforest covers nearly three-quarters of the country and the whole nation feels like a permanent step back in time. Locals are creative, blissful, and bashful, and always friendly towards outsiders. Read More
