When there's no waves, surf the ferry wake! (Photo: Doug McFarlane)

A mate of mine Doug, the surf photographer from WozThatYou.com, recently returned from a week’s holiday in sunny Tahiti. One thing that caught his eye were the crazy outrigger canoeists who paddled the calm island waters for hours and hours, waiting for ships and ferries to come by so they could surf their wake.

I guess if you live on an island paradise somewhere in the Pacific, why not spend all day paddling? I can honestly say I can’t think of anything better! Cheers – FP

Hmmm, church or paddling? I'll just paddle a little bit longer... (Photo: Doug McFarlane)
