Surfing

In Papeete this week the president of French Polynesia, Edouard Fritch, signed the official documents for the competition with Tony Estanguet, the president of the Olympic games organising committee.

The venue for the surfing competition is a surfbreak off of Teahupo'o on Tahiti, famous for its heavy, glassy waves often reaching two to three metres in height and sometimes as high as seven metres.

The three official documents signed this week pertain to the infrastructure required on the site, security for the surf events and the passage of the Olympic flame.

Building upon the success of their ‘Dei Blong ol Gels’ (Day for Girls) girl specific surfing events in 2015, the VSA is now sending a crack squad of Vanuatu’s best high school aged girl surfers to compete at the 2016 Surfest High Schools Challenge in Australia.

He’s a barrel-riding master, movie producer, prankster and all-around game changer. Not to mention the star of a successful web series, now in it’s fourth season, Who Is JOB 5.0. 

Determined to make the latest installment of the original series his wildest one yet, JOB turns up the heat - literally - by surfing on fire at one of the most dangerous waves in the world.
