While most of this year’s 2024 Summer Olympic competitions will be taking place in Paris, the surfing competition will be taking place in Tahiti.
As France doesn’t have the ideal conditions for a professional surfing competition with its beaches (and Paris, of course, isn’t near an ocean), the Olympic committee chose Teahupoʻo in Tahiti, one of the Society Islands in French Polynesia.
Tahiti will provide much more ideal surfing conditions and hopefully the perfect waves for all of the surfing competitors hitting the surfboards for this year’s Olympic Games.
We’ll see how Team USA fares on the waves in Tahiti when the Olympic surfing competition gets going on July 27.
