Pai-Pai is a surf spot located around Tahaa, known for its unique setting among the motus on the north shore. The area features stunning coral reefs and provides an interesting surfing experience, especially for those looking to explore a less crowded alternative. While the Pai-Pai pass is primarily used for larger boats, there are days when it can serve up some decent waves without heavy local competition.

The surf here generally works best with swells coming from the south and west, with optimal sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The waves break over live coral, which can make for some fun rides, especially the left-handers. For the best surfing experience, you’ll want to catch the waves when the wind is coming from the northeast, and it can work well at low, mid, or high tides.

Pai-Pai is not just about the surfing; it's also a great spot for exploring the surrounding area, which has a laid-back vibe. The waves might not attract the same attention as more renowned spots, but for those looking for a relaxed session, Pai-Pai could be worth checking out.
