WINDSURFING
The
only place TST knows that use windsurfers on a regular basis are the larger
hotels... The Moana Beach Parkroyal, The Maitai, TOPdive, Hotel Bora Bora,
and the Sofitel, among others. Apparently, windsurfing USED to be a bit
more popular on the island, but I had a hard time finding places that rent
them. If any traveler comes across a good windsurfing rental place on Bora
bora, please pass along the information to us and well post it for all you
windsurfing buffs out there. The lagoon SEEMS like a perfect place to windsurf
to me, but I could be wrong.
SURFING
To all you surfing enthusiasts: you're going to have to be pretty hardcore to go surfing on Bora Bora, however, IT IS POSSIBLE (and supposedly
excellent according to the few locals who do it) at the one pass coming
into the lagoon from the open ocean. A swim from the shore would be brutal,
so the locals boat out to a nearby motu, and paddle from there. TST is looking
for local Bora Bora surfers who can help you experience the waves, but at
the moment, can't find one willing to divulge any details. If any hardcore
or exploring surfers learn any decent and accurate info on surfing Bora
Bora, please let us know and we'll post the details.
SWIMMING (LAGOON)
Swimming the Bora Bora lagoon is certainly one of the easiest, cheapest, safest, and most popular
activities available to waterlovers of all ages. The waters are warm
and clear and inviting... Most people simply want to
get their shorts wet in the waters near their hotel, however there are many good spots to swim around the island. Much of the the water is shallow for quite a distance from the shoreline, so in many places, the biggest problem is getting into deep enough water for serious swimming! If you have access to a boat you can get closer
to the reefs faster for some interesting snorkeling opportunities, if you desire.
One thing that's worth noting about swimming the lagoon is the currents.
In certain spots, usually unknown to the average vacationer, they CAN be fairly strong as you get farther from the shoreline, so be aware and prepared. Weak or unconfident swimmers should use caution and common sense.
Other than the currents, there are no other worries. There is no shark problem (in fact, no human related
swimming shark encounters on record in the history of the lagoon), or other
nasty sea creatures (with the exception of the occasional jellyfish), to
deal with.

gives private (half day) tours of the lagoon on request with a Malibu ski boat 310. Snorkeling, visit the coral gardens, and water-skiing and lessons. Private sunset cruises also possible.
KITESURFING (FLYSURFING)
The most radical new sport
to hit French Polynesia in the past 50 years has to be kiteboarding. The
french call it Flysurfing. It basically involves being pulled on a board
similiar to a surfboard with straps, by a powerful kite. Riders must master
the wind and various techniques of boardriding as they combine the two for incredibly
fast and intense rides. Huge air is possible...
There are quite a few riders on
Bora Bora into this sport, probably more so here than any other Tahitian island other than Tahiti itself, and their level is extremely high in comparison with other kitespots. For an island this size, Bora bora has produced more than its share of famous kiteboarders.
If you already are into kiteboarding and know
what's up, definately bring your board and kites to Bora Bora! The winds
here are excellent and dependable and there's more than one good spot to
go out from shore. Small surf and uncrowded conditions are the norm. Unless you're a real pro, you'll be staying within the lagoon.
Although there is no Kitesurfing school or place to rent kites or equipment on Bora bora, it's possible for beginners to get the feel for the sport by talking to the locals. One spot you'll see them on a regular basis is off Matira point.
For the most part they are friendly to visiting kiteboarders and can give you some excellent suggestions and tips on the local conditions.
