Early Days in Tahiti

Parko, in his element. Along with his standard high performance shorties for the smaller days (of which there'll be a few), a lot of Joel's bigger wave boards for Tahiti are the same as his Fiji quiver. Here's hoping we get a swell like Fiji too! Photo Ryan Miller

Time tends to stand still on islands like Tahiti, especially if the waves aren't exactly heart-in-your-mouth type stuff. Julian, staying sharp during down time. At 6'0"/80kg, JW rides his Air 17 at 6'0 1/2" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 28.1L. Photo Ryan Miller

After nailing his best result of the season at the US Open, Ryan had a quick holiday in New York and jetted back to Aus before turning around almost immediately for his first trip to Tahiti as a CT surfer - all of that flying must pay off somewhere right about now! At 6'0"/80kg, Ryan rides the Monsta 6 at 6'0" x 18 7/8" x 2 3/8" x 28.1L. Photo Ryan Miller
