On a recent trip to the Tuamouts, a chain of Tahitian islands about 200 nautical miles North of the main island of Tahiti, we were blessed with warm water, and off shore winds. This place truly is a magical one. The air is clean, there are no distractions, and you can totally relax. If you time it right, you might just score some extraordinary surf. The Tuamotus are a waterman’s dream and one of the most surreal places on the planet. A real treasure.
