Don't blow it for every one else. If you are a beginner take a lesson. If you are not sure, take a lesson. Kiteboarders have the last priority on this beach. So give way and stay away from everyone. Variety of other sports are available year round near flat island: surfing, kayaking and snorkeling are great when the wind dies.

Honolulu and Waikiki have lots to do every night.
