Surf Story

You had several choice :
Your honey moon, your computer screenshot , and the pictures seen on TV during long winter evenings :
…And then you decide.
The surf trip you have always waited for will be in Polynesia ! Everything matches : powerful waves on the reef, the smell of the vahines’ tiaré (Polynesian flower), languishing islands from where you never want to go back.
The lapping of the pirogue taking you to the pass of Papara or to Teahupoo, then later a surf session on Haapiti’s left to Moorea or again a great score on Fitii’s rights on Huahine Island.Society Islands still remain the first place to go for a surf trip in the Pacific…

History

Polynesia’s islands were inhabited by ancestors of the actual autochthons from 200 before our era, maybe even before that.
The first European visitors were in the 16th century, Portuguese-Spanish whose discoveries did not lead anywhere. In the 18th century, important discoveries increased.
In June 1767, the ship of the British navigator Captain Wallis took over the island under the name of the British King.The following year, the French navigator Louis-Antoine de Bougainville asserted the island under the name of the French King and named it “Nouvelle Cythère” and brought a Tahitian back to France, which caused the legend of the “noble savage” from Rousseau and make all the fantasies become true about those distant islands of the Southern Pacific.

Then, from 1769 to 1777, Captain James Cook visited three times Tahiti and Leeward Islands, Austral Islands and Marquesas Islands. It is in 1769 that James Cook took over the group of islands and named it Society Islands.Laton on, Polynesia witnessed the conflicts between France and England while Tahiti had became an important port in the Pacific.

At that time, Hapai, the Polynesian chief claimed its supremacy on the archipelagos and created with its British allies, Pomare dynasty (1762-1880) which was the only one to reign in Tahiti. Since the wedding of the British banker Alexander Salmon with Princess Ariitaimai in January 1842, mixed weddings became numerous.
During the second half of the 19th century, « Demis » became great landlords and were hired in the Administration. At the end of World War II, minds changed with the Polynesian soldiers coming back and the political wake up of the Tahitians. They began to think about their autonomy, considered before as hardened.

A new era of decolonization began, with new institutional status for Polynesia. Under the Cadre’s law of 1957, the archipelagos of the “Etablissements français d’Océanie” took the name of French Polynesia.After going through the Western culture for a long time, the Polynesians discover again their heritage and emphasize it. Craftsmen, dance, archaeology, tattooing are the most famous demonstrations.

Geography

French Polynesia is located 6 000 km West of Chile, 5 200 km East of Australia, 6 200 km Southwest of California’s coasts and 16 000 km of Paris.

Huge, much crumbled, it constitutes 118 islands born from volcanic eruptions, only 6 of themthat go beyond 100 km.
They are gathered in five archipelagos :
Society Islands, where there is the national capital Papeete, and Bora Bora and Moorea.
Austral Islands, with five highlands (similar to mountains resting upon the surface of the ocean, with a coral reef belt coming from the central lagoon).
Tuamotu Islands, composed of 77 atolls expanding more than 1 500 km and reveal fabulous waves to discover in a surfing cruise.Gambier Islands, situated 1 600 km from Tahiti and Marquesas Islands made off fifteen highlands and dark rocked islets or so, not too far from the equator.

HEALTH :
Be careful to coral cuts, very long to heal and quite painful, to black flies (« nono ») from Marquesas Islands and to jelly fishes.In the lagoon, beware of the stone fishes, rays and sea-urchins.It has been also indexed in many archipelagos of the Pacific ciguatera access, a kind of food poisoning caused by eating marine species whose flesh is contaminated.No worries though, Polynesian healthcare is very good.
