Tahiti doesn\u2019t even seem real. It\u2019s almost too gorgeous, too picturesque; sorta like a CGI version of reality, or the image results of a Wikipedia entry for \u201cparadise.\u201d And that\u2019s 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\u2019o comes to mind when most surfers think about Tahiti. It is, without a doubt, the island\u2019s marquee surf spot \u2013 albeit unfathomable for mere mortals when it\u2019s anything above overhead (and sometimes less). But there\u2019s a lot more that Tahiti has to offer than the End of the Road. Hit play above for a visual tribute to Tahiti \u2013 brought to you by longtime expat lensman on the island, Tim McKenna \u2013 which shows highlights from super sessions at Chopes, along with a showcase of some of the lesser-known breaks, too.<\/p>\n
