A beautiful day unfolded in the crystal clear waters of French Polynesia for opening affairs at the Air Tahiti Rangiroa Pro, a men's QS 1,000 event, with solid swell on offer. Rangiroa's shallow waters demand commitment and respect from the competitors on hand, but will provide the ride of a lifetime when you get it just right.
Today's three-to-four foot, occasional six foot sets, showed a glimpse of what potential this wave has after a slight drop from the weekend's swell and competitors didn't let it go to waste. Take a look above.
