Consulter La Plaquette De Présentation De La Compétition Fournie Par Les 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. La commune de Taiarapu-Ouest et plus précisément la commune associée de Teahupo’o a montré depuis plus de 20 ans son potentiel certain dans l’accueil d’évènement majeur comme la TAHITI PRO TEAHUPO’O mieux connue sous l’appellation « Billabong Pro Tahiti ». La Fédération Tahitienne de Surf et Pascal LUCIANI Events Surf & Services ont démontré leur engagement et leur professionnalisme, sans jamais faillir, dans l’organisation d’évènements internationaux du circuit professionnel de la WSL (World Surf League) et participent à leur niveau au développement économique du pays et son rayonnement à l’international Les efforts engagés par le pays au travers du ministère des sports, de ses services, de l’IJSPF avec le concours de partenaires privilégiés comme AIR TAHITI NUI, OPT, VINI et l’ensemble des polynésiens contribuent à la réussite de ce magnifique événement. HISTORIQUE La première compétition officielle de surf à Teahupo’o date de 1997. Elle portait alors le nom de Black Pearl Horue Pro et était inscrite au calendrier du circuit WQS (World Qualifying Series). Cette édition est remportée par Andy Irons (âgé de 18 ans seulement) et est marquée par l’échouage de l’AREMITI sur le récif dû aux mauvaises conditions climatiques. Le spot de Teahupoo devient mondialement connu, grâce aux médias internationaux et à un article spécifique du magazine Surfing. L’année suivante, en 1998, c’est la marque de vêtements de surf « Gotcha » qui parraine l'événement et la compétition prend l’appellation « Gotcha Tahiti Pro ». À partir de 1999, l'étape est inscrite au championnat du monde élite : WCT (World Champioship Tour). Le 21 avril 2000, juste avant le début de la compétition le Tahitien Brice Taerea perd la vie après avoir heurté de la tête le récif. En remportant l’épreuve cette année, Kelly Slater lui rend hommage en lui dédiant sa victoire. Depuis, une patrouille nautique équipée de jet skis assure à chaque compétition la sécurité des surfeurs. C’est la naissance de la TAHITIAN WATER PATROL. En 2001, c'est la marque australienne BILLABONG qui parraine l'événement, d'abord sous le nom de Billabong Pro Teahupoo puis Billabong Pro Tahiti jusqu’en 2017. Une nouvelle page s’ouvre sur Teahupo’o avec la TAHITI PRO Teahupo’o AIR TAHITI NUI TAHITI PRO TEAHUPO’O TRIALS 2018 : COMPETITION DE SURF INTERNATIONALE PHASE DE QUALIFICATION C’est une compétition qui offre aujourd’hui, la possibilité à 22 polynésiens de se mesurer à 10 professionnels internationaux sur la vague exceptionnelle de Teahupoo. C’est encore une fois une nouvelle avancée dans le partenariat entre la WSL et la FTS. 2 invitations sont offertes aux vainqueurs des QS de Rangiroa et de Papara. A l’issu des trials, 2 wilds cards ou invitations sont attribuées aux finalistes. Elles permettent aux vainqueurs de participer à la Billabong Pro Tahiti. Appellation de la compétition ?

A l’issu des Air Tahiti Nu Trials, l'Espagnol Aritz Aranburu et le Tahitien Taumata Puhetini ont décroché les deux wildcards pour la Billabong Pro Tahiti 2017 sur le mythique spot de Teahupoo. Aritz Aranburu a remporté dans des conditions très médiocres l'épreuve des trials. Sur un spot de Teahupoo défiguré par la pluie et surtout un fort vent du sud, l'Espagnol s'est imposé de très peu en finale face à un habitué des lieux, l'Australien Nathan Edge (13,43 - 13,33). Le second sésame tant convoité était prévu comme l'an dernier pour le meilleur tahitien des trials. Celui qui a été le plus loin dans le tableau est donc Taumata Puhetini. Le surfeur de Papenoo s'est hissé jusqu'en demi-finale après avoir battu Antony Walsh en quarts. Taumata Puhetini avait déjà disputé le main event en 2010, 2014 et 2015.

TAIARAPU OUEST / TEAHUPOO / PASSE DE HAVA’E Organisation ?

L'Australien a battu en finale Gabriel Medina. Alors que tout le monde attendait John John Florence ou Gabriel Medina, Julian Wilson a quelque peu déjoué les pronostics en triomphant lors du Billabong Pro Tahiti, septième manche du circuit pro. L'Australien s'est imposé lors de la finale de la BILLABONG PRO TAHITI à Teahupo’o face à Gabriel Medina. Jusqu'ici, et alors qu'il fait depuis des années partie des meilleurs mondiaux, Wilson n'avait gagné que deux épreuves : Péniche en 2012 et le Pipe Masters en 2014. Sa troisième victoire sur le CT, et pas n'importe laquelle, est un véritable coup d'éclat, l'étape tahitienne étant la plus prestigieuse avec celle d'Hawaii. Sur un spot de Teahupo’o du genre apocalyptique car plombé par un fort vent et une pluie quasi incessante, on ne donnait pas cher de la peau de Julian Wilson. L'Australien a entamé sa dernière journée par une série du round 4 totalement ratée. Il finit troisième derrière John John Florence et Conner Coffin, et avec un total de 4 points. Mais il sauve sa peau lors du round 5 face à l'expert Adrian "Ace" Buchan, le vainqueur de l'édition 2013. Il a ensuite déroulé. Tout d'abord en surclassant le Français Joan Duru en quarts, puis Jordy Smith en demies. Lors de la finale, face à l'ogre Medina, vainqueur en 2014 et finaliste en 2015, Wilson a fait une bonne entame mais le Brésilien a frappé fort en milieu de série avec deux grosses notes (8,67 et 9,20). L'Australien était alors combo et quasiment K.O. Sauf qu'il a de la ressource, il se place habilement sur le spot sous les conseils des locaux. Lors des dernières minutes, Julian Wilson mystifie Medina avec deux tubes d'anthologie, scorés 9,23 et 9,73. Il pouvait alors légitimement exulter, sous la ferveur du public tahitien, acquis à sa cause.

Although the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past.
