M Ag a Zin E HOSSEGOR MAGAZINE 2013 / 2014 L’ébullition du monde qui nous entoure paraît si éloignée de la sérénité et de la quiétude que vous offre Hossegor. Loin d’être coupée de ce tourbillon, Hossegor se transforme mais la magie demeure. Prenez le temps de feuilleter ce Magazine. Il reflète parfaitement la diversité d’ambiance et révèle ce rythme si particulier des terres qui portent leurs souvenirs comme emblème et demeurent étonnamment suspendues hors du temps. hossegor.fr OFFICE DE TOURISME D’HOSSEGOR Place des Halles - BP 6 - 40150 Hossegor Tél. : 0033(0) 558 417 900 • Fax : 0033(0) 558 417 909 e-mail : [email protected] instagram:hossegorofficiel facebook.com/hossegor twitter.com/hossegortourism The hectic life of the world around us seems so far from the calm and quiet of � Hossegor. However it is far from being cut off from this hustle and bustle and Hossegor is changing - though its magic still holds us in its spell. Take a few moments to browse through this Magazine. It brings to light the different aspects of Hossegor and discloses a tempo that is so characteristic of places that wear their memories on their crest, yet, paradoxically, still remain suspended in time.

    INTRODUCTION La Polynésie Française accueille depuis plus de 20 ans l’une des plus prestigieuses étapes du circuit mondial de SURF de la WSL (World Surf League) : La TAHITI PRO TEAHUPO’O. La TAHITI PRO TEAHUPO’O est une étape du championnat du monde de surf de la WSL (World Surf League) qui se tient chaque année dans la commune de Taiarapu-Ouest, située dans la presqu’ile de Tahiti en Polynésie française, sur le spot de Teahupoo et plus précisément dans la passe de HAVA’E. Il s'agit de l'un des événements du championnat du monde le plus attendu et le plus dangereux en raison de la puissance des vagues et de la présence de récifs coralliens en faible profondeur.
