Tahiti, The Black Pearl Of Water Sports
Adventure Magazine|February - March 2020
There are many great places to play in or on the water around the world, but few come close to offering up the salt water playground that is French Polynesia, composed of 118 geographically dispersed islands and atolls stretching over an expanse of more than 2,000 kilometres and comprised of five island groups, "Tahiti" is so much more than a tropical oasis of over water bungalows and mind bending sunsets.

Tahiti, The Black Pearl Of Water Sports

What the brochures fail to let on, is that it is quite possibly the best warm water destination in the world for those that like to indulge in all and every kind of water sport.

From the national sport of Va’a (rudderless outrigger canoes) to all and every iteration of water sport imaginable, Tahitians literally have saltwater pulsating through their veins with an aptitude to learn and master anything above and below the surface.

With many of the islands within the five main island groups being atolls with lagoons protected by coral reefs it’s this contrasting mix of protected waters and open ocean that lends these islands to the sheer diversity of water born activities.

North West Circuit Stewart Island

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.
