Hinano's Stand Up World Tour Contenders - Tahiti
After two weeks aboard two luxury 'The Moorings' boats in the
company of twelve of the world's greatest Stand Up Paddlers, aptly
named the Contenders, all eyes were once again on the infamous wave of
Teahupo'o
The goal of this unique exhibition event was to showcase a selection of the principal contenders of the Stand Up World Tour in their own environment: the ocean. On these Moorings boats, the riders were able to explore the beautiful islands of Tahiti in the company of their friends and rivals, searching for waves, braving 50 knot winds, swimming with sharks and rays and preparing themselves for the glorious rides that were the pot of gold at the end of the road.....Teahupo'o
