Air Tahiti Nui has launched a special edition magazine, Horue, to celebrate the special connection between Tahiti and surfing. A notion common to several Polynesian languages, horue expresses the depths of the ocean, glimpsed from the hollows of a great wave, and has also come to mean to glide on a breaker and “to surf”.
Detailing the history of surfing in one of the world’s most popular surfing destinations, the magazine features stunning photography and artworks, plus a reflection on how surfing has evolved in each of Tahiti’s five archipelagos. A sport that is intrinsically linked with the people of Tahiti, surfing in this stunning destination is unlike any other location, something the incredible imagery of photographer Ben Thouard has captured magnificently for this special publication.
Home to one of the world’s most famous waves, Teahupo’o, Tahiti is a surfer’s paradise and Horue will give even more people insight into why the destination’s waves are considered so special.
The digital version of Horue magazine is available FREE HERE.
