New Caledonia is a collectivity of islands of overseas France in the southwest Pacific Ocean.
Downwind
Grande Terre
The main island of Grande Terre is well aligned with their summer winds. For islands with a small population (270K?) NC is home to a surprising number of world class and champion SUP paddlers. The favorable downwind conditions have to help. Also the lagoon at Nouméa reportedly gets waves for downwinding that can be similar to the Columbia Gorge.
