Surfing is part of the Polynesian way of life. The legendary wave in Teahupo'o is known worldwide, but there are also locations in small towns where the surfers from the neighborhood meet. Paea, Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia, is one of them, the wave is short but wide; as a result, many surfers can surf at the same time. This captured moment reflects all the pleasures of surfing.
