Surf in Moorea - Heading to Moorea in early October, would like to know everyone's choice of board size for this time of year. From the looks of it, there isn't much surf inside of a 20 min paddle with the risk of exhaustion from fighting the currents..is this true?
Any help would be appreciated.
Aloha,

- My Dad is French and lives in moorea. I can't wait to visit him. I lived in Kauai for a year and had to move back for college. How are the lefts on Moorea? Do they not like Americans there? Are the waves very locolized?

Surf Board Rentals / Spots - Aloha, I am going to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora on my honeymoon in February. Just like everyone else, Im looking for advice on places that are reasonable to rent boards, and to find out where the good shore breaks are that are close to our hotels. We'll be staying at the Intercontiental Resort Tahiti, Intercontiental Resort Moorea, and the Le Meridien Bora Bora. Mahalo!
