Last winter (southern hemisphere season)The Rotary Club of Raiatea-Tahaa sponsored an international event : The Tahiti Free Ride Cup.
 
It was a windsurf competition with very high standards. We received world champions who were amazed with the quality of our waters and surroundings. Needless to say that when someone discovers the beauty of our lagoon they just dream to come back the soonest possible. We were very honoured to welcome champions from New Zealand, Turkey, Japan, Spain and of course Polynesian ones. The competition lasted a whole week and gave us the chance to be known abroad. Supporting sports is one of our aims towards the young generation.
