    Tahiti & Mo'orea launch for surf 
    adventure books 
    
      
    Pape'ete, Tahiti - March 20 - Surf travel adventure book author Tony Garcia launched his series of 
    books on islands of Tahiti and Mo'orea. Also called the Society Islands it 
    is the home to world class surf breaks like Tea'upoo, Taapuna, Matauvau Pass 
    and the black sand beach breaks of Papenoo.  
     
      
    These islands are part of 
    Polynesia which forms a triangle with Hawaii in the north, New Zealand in 
    the west and Easter Island in the east. The Polynesian islands were some of 
    the last places on earth settled by humans.  
     
      
    Historians agree that the 
    ancestors of the present Polynesians came from the islands of Indonesia and 
    Philippines. These men and women settled the islands of Polynesia between 
    200 BC and 400 AD in waves of migration. The reasons for these migrations 
    are not known though some speculate that it could have been war or 
    overpopulation that drove people to find new homes. 
     
      
    These long migration voyages 
    were remarkable feats of navigation and endurance only achieved by the 
    European's 1500 years later. European explorers like Ferdinand 
    Magellan, Jacob Roggeveen, Louis-Antoine de Bougainville and James Cook all 
    passed through Polynesia during their voyages of exploration. 
     
      
    The island's visitors brought 
    back tales of a paradise where life was simple and women were uninhibited. 
    These stories fired the imaginations generations of westerners who came to 
    paint, write or just drop out, painters like Paul Gauguin and writers Herman 
    Melville and Robert Louis Stevenson. 
     
      
    Now Tahiti means big wave 
    tow-ins at Tea'upoo, the world class surf breaks of Taapuna and Vairao 
    passes. On the Island of Mo'orea the classic left of Haapiti and the right 
    of Temae. And most importantly the hospitality and generosity of the 
    Tahitian people.
