6 days
Only 6 days as we were over there for a wedding, not really long enough and we copped strong winds and overcast/rain for the whole time (except on Aitutaki - a day trip 200km north of Rarotonga)

nah
Didn't have a lid with me unfortunately. I wasn't really expecting surf, was hoping to be fishing a few days but just wasn't going to happen with the winds being 20-25 knots. Did speak to one of the charters that went out on a bux do and they go nothing in 4 hours and had half the boat down with sea sickness. Having said that, saw some photos in the pubs and there were pics of 26kg dolphinfish and 48 kg wahoo and I'm guessing the GT fishing hasn't been put on the map yet. Apparently there are lots of bonefish there too.

Was there this time about 4years ago, looked like a kite surfers wet dream. Whats the best time of year for winds? I Wasn't there long enough to suss out any fishing spots, but it was a hell of alot cheaper than the other islands. 1 powerball
