Surfing in Tahiti


I know that this is not Baja but there are plenty of surfers here that would appreciate this footage from a drone in Tahiti.

This ones for you Woody! :cool::cool:

It's insane how close the anchored boats are to the break.

FWIW - boats not anchored. Insanely close to the action. Been a few mishaps over the years with boats getting swamped or worse. That wave is other worldy mutant. Would love to visit once to see it in person. :cool:

Thanks.

The film header was right! I am not a surfer, but I was blown away!

Thanks for posting the link.

Ballsy surfing, especially the back siders.

The music was cool but I was wishing for some Dick Dale, geezer that I am. :cool:

Thanks.

While we're on extreme, just a little diversion to melt your mind. Quite familiar with this road on my motorcycle.
