Tahiti is surrounded by Ocean and our people started kayaking on the Pacific Ocean more than 10 years ago. During those years, we have
participated in international surf ski races mostly in Australia, San Francisco, Dubai and Singapore.
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 Nui have 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 Nui has handed to the ICF a Bid document to host theICF 2015 2nd OCEAN RACING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

The island of Tahiti in the Society Islands group, is situated half way betweenCalifornia (6200km) and Australia (5700km).
Tahiti’s 118 fabulous islands are scattered across five far-flung archipelagos, eachwith their own particular character and whose inhabitants have adapted theancient rhythms of the ocean and the sun to the 21st century.
The main island is Tahiti Nui, the largest of the Polynesian islands, withPapeeteas its administrative capital.
With breath-taking panoramas, pristine islands and atolls, crystallinelagoons andturquoise waters, it’s impossible to capture French Polynesia’s magnificentlandscapes with words.
Today, as throughout much of history, a trip to Tahiti Nui and the surroundingislands is an experience made by the incomparable grace of the islanders.
The culture, the hospitality, warm smiles and meeting with the locals aresome ofthe experiences that enrich our islands and offer a deeper dimension to theregion’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 outto 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 alsowidely spoken, particularly in tourist areas.
