In other news, a “dream team” of surfers has been announced for the upcoming Olympics Paris 2024 event at Teahupoo in Tahiti. The team includes Vahine Fierro and Johanne Defay for the women’s competition, and Kauli Vaast and Joan Duru for the men’s competition. The competition is set to take place from July 27 to August 5, with Vaast and Fierro considered as top contenders.

Additionally, a court in Papeete has ordered Tahiti’s main prison, Nuutania, to provide hot water for all inmates within the next two years.
