Olympic surfing is in Tahiti because

  1. Paris doesn’t have a lot of waves (or even a beach).

  1. The coast of France is not known for its big wave conditions (except during storms when surfing is a bad idea).

  1. Tahiti is an overseas county of the French Republic.

  1. Teahupo’o in particular has waves that are remarkably consistent in their surfability.
