Get to Ile des Pins. Kuto is on the south.

Rules:

None

Kiteboarding on Ile des Pins is, as in many places in New Caledonia, subject to "customary rule" (understand: rules edicted by the local tribes). Kiting is at the moment (April 2009) officially forbidden on the whole Ile des Pins island. Unless you formally meet with the local chief to get an authorization, don't try if you don't want the locals to get upset, and possibly physical. Better try one of the smaller uninhabited islands around.
