I am trying to demonstrate the Power of the Net to some sceptical (board)
surfers.
I am hoping for some help regarding a surf trip I am planning, to New
Caledonia.
My questions are:

1) When does it break? What is the best season, what is the lay of the
land...
Point breaks? Reef breaks? Beginner or advanced? Are there any special
dangers?
2)What will I need in the way of equipment/gear?  
What length/type of boards should I bring?
3) What will it cost to get and/or be there? Does anyone have any advice on
how tominimize costs? What about transportation? How badly do I need it,
how much is it?
4) If I can actually get these sceptics to send me will anyone volunteer to
show me around? Would someone give me the benefit of their
knowledge/experience?
5) Does anyone have actual New Caledonia surf experiences to relate?
6) Is there anything I could bring with me, for goodwill purposes that the
locals  need and find difficult
to obtain (only stuff I can cross borders with, please).
7) Answers to questions I don't know enough to ask...

If you have any information you would be willing to share with me it will
be
appreciated greatly.
Please E-mail me at the address below, thanks.

Sincerely,
