|| WELCOME TO TAHITI Tahiti is surrounded by water and our people started kayaking on the Pacific Ocean more than 20 years ago. During those years, we have participated in international surf ski races mostly in Australia, San Francisco, Dubai and Singapore. Since our affiliation with ICF and the organization of the 1st Ocean Racing World Championship in July, 2013 in Portugal, we, the Tahitian Kayak Federation (FTK) and the Country of Tahiti thought of going forward in terms of International Racing Organization, and also aligning ourselves with the ICF & IVF partnership and OCA’s promotion of kayaking in our small Oceania Islands Area. For that, Tahiti handed to the ICF a Bid document to host the ICF 2015 2nd OCEAN RACING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP from October 2nd & 3rd, 2015. Last March 2014, the ICF Board of Directors voted to award Tahiti the privilege of hosting the 2015 2nd OCEAN RACING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in October 2015 On April 5th, 2014, the Executive Board of the Tahitian Kayak Federation fixed the date of October 2nd for the prologue & October 3rd 2015 for the downwind race of that great World Event. Tahiti, the Oceania Continent & Islands Kayak/Ocean Racing Community welcome you and look forward to seeing your expertise on our Pacific Ocean. With our Sports and Best Regards

Charles VILLIERME President of the Tahitian Kayak Federation OCA Executive Board Member

Welcome

|| TAHITI FRENCH POLYNESIA || LOCATION

|| A TROPICAL CLIMATE

The island of Tahiti in the Society Islands group, is situated half way between California (6200km) and Australia (5700km).

The French Polynesian islands enjoy a tropical climate; the maximum numbers of hours of sunshine is close to 3000 per year in the Tuamotu Atoll, one of the highest in the world !

Tahiti’s 118 fabulous islands are scattered across five far-flung archipelagos, each with their own particular character and whose inhabitants have adapted the ancient rhythms of the ocean and the sun to the 21st century.

The temperature which is relatively constant, is cooled by the trade winds of the Pacific that blow throughout the year,

The main island is Tahiti Nui, the largest of the Polynesian islands, with Papeete as its administrative capital. With breath-taking panoramas, pristine islands and atolls, crystalline lagoons and turquoise waters, it’s impossible to capture French Polynesia’s magnificent landscapes with words.

The average ambient temperature is 27°C, and the waters of the lagoons area fairly constant 26°C. While further away from the equator, the archipelagos down south (the Austral and Gambier), enjoy cooler temperatures.

Today, as throughout much of history, a trip to Tahiti Nui and the surrounding islands is an experience made by the incomparable grace of the islanders. The culture, the hospitality, warm smiles and meeting with the locals are some of the experiences that enrich our islands and offer a deeper dimension to the region’s natural beauty, Our way of life, culture, vivacity, history and legends, artisans, cuisine and warm welcome elevate the destination to another level. These are our true treasures that we love to share with everyone who venture out to see our country and discover our culture, LANGUAGE. While the official language is French, the indigenous languages, such as Tahitian, are still widely practiced in each archipelago. English is also widely spoken, particularly in tourist areas.
