on our way to launch the boat to surf Ha’apiti today, passing the 2 bays Cooks Bay ( as in Captain Cook ) Opunohu Bay ( listed as one of the 10 most beautiful bays in the world ) And I love those Volcanic rock ridges, with the jungle creeping up underneath them 2 coconuts and Moorea’s Devil Tower impressive let’s launch the boat the Hawaiians back from their morning surf, and you can see the left peeeling on the horizon in the background, it’s looking good same Devils tower but form the other side ( only takes about 45m -60 min to drive around the Island ) the colours Busy day for Benji Ferry services as we head out there is a pod of Dolphins swimming around awesome creatures I love the distorted view from the ripples of the waves on the surface stunning the view going out Benji’s friends Alex and Olivier, just arrived from Biaritz in France and this is what they see yep, not in Biaritz anymore 🙂 Pierro ( aka Stewart ) first cab of the rank love me a peeling left time to get the second load, and notice the baguettes to the left of Benji ( Tahiti is a French Colony after all ) and we pass the Dolphins again, was watching them come up form the deep, up for air and then down again so awesome to witness love it the 2 boat load and . . . more baguettes 🙂 sick and now, finally, some shots of me surfing nice little section, but I should have done a sharper bottom ti=urn here then again, maybe not as I must have seen this little head dip section coming on 🙂 snap, loving my Annesley Fun boardand yes, as you might have seen in these shots, I put a tonne of zinc on my face, it is very easy to get pretty badly sunburnt here, even with sunscreen on, so I went the full white face hehehe.
PS thanks Megan for sending me these shots later that evening, on our way to the supermarket you see these crabs everywhere, wonder if they are edible 🙂 got to catch them firstgood reason to go to the supermarket, local beer 🙂 Tahitian sunset 🙂
