Situated on the west coast of Tahiti, the city of Papara will welcome an

World famous for its perfect crystal water barrels, French Polynesia has

and local initiatives along with the Tahitian Surfing Federation are
pursuing the development of professional surfing in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean. Co-sanctionned by ASP Europe and ASP Australasia, the
Tahiti Pro Longboard will be the crucial ending to the 2007 Longboarding
european championships, and give another great opportunity to surfing’s
legendary style.

From blue lagoons to green mountains, Tahiti’s paradise will be the
