Moorea, French Polynesia
Primary kitesurf spot on Moorea, NW coast. Wide shallow lagoon with sandy bottom behind the reef barrier; consistent E/NE trade winds (15-22 kt) blow side-onshore into the lagoon May-October. Beginners and freestylers thrive on the flat turquoise water. Schools on-site offer lessons and gear rental.
The Windward Islands are the eastern group of the Society Islands in the French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the southern Pacific Ocean. These islands were also previously named the Georgian Islands in honour of King George III of the United Kingdom.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Haapiti Lagoon is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
