BTW - my board was stolen in the very early morning hours of my departure in Papeete. It along with one belonging to an Aussie surfer I met. We met at the terminal and had hours to kill before our flight so threw in together with a rental car and put our boards on the roof and went touring. Came back to town, parked on the street and had a bite...we kept checking the car about every 20 minutes and the last time we checked they were gone. Filed a report with the local constabulary which took a while since we didn't speak Tahitian or French but we knew they were gone - the report was just for insurance.
Bloody thieves!!!
