When most surfers picture surfing in Tahiti it immediately conjures up images of horrifying death and glory Teahupoo, or giant spitting right-handers that could send you to a watery grave with one misstep. In short, something no ordinary surfer would want a part of … and rightly so.
But as Adrien Toyon recently found out, there is another gentler side to surfing in the Pacific nation. When the conditions are right and theres a fun swell running the place can become a dream rather than a sweat inducing nightmare.
Gin clear water and tubes as pretty as a picture that shower the rider with fine champagne at the conclusion are what await.
