Tahiti doesn’t even seem real. It’s almost too gorgeous, too picturesque; sorta like a CGI version of reality, or the image results of a Wikipedia entry for “paradise.” And that’s true from a surfing perspective, too. Many of the waves are near-perfect, all breaking in some of the bluest water on earth, with towering junglescapes looming over white, black, and pink(!) sand beaches. Of course, Teahupo’o comes to mind when most surfers think about Tahiti. It is, without a doubt, the island’s marquee surf spot – albeit unfathomable for mere mortals when it’s anything above overhead (and sometimes less). But there’s a lot more that Tahiti has to offer than the End of the Road. Hit play above for a visual tribute to Tahiti – brought to you by longtime expat lensman on the island, Tim McKenna – which shows highlights from super sessions at Chopes, along with a showcase of some of the lesser-known breaks, too.
From the mind of Chris Benchetler comes TGR’s latest short film collaboration with Flagship Independent. Improvisation is the silver thread that weaves this crew together.
