Teriinatoofa Hira was born and raised in Tahiti and currently lives in Papara in the middle of Pepeete not far from the famous reef break Teahupoo. A two time ISA World Champion (2004, 2010), Hira is somewhat of a legend in Tahiti. His preferred board is 6´0 ,18 1/2, 2 1/4 and he surfs all kinds of waves. His favourite places to travel are France, Australia, Hawaii and Los Angeles and hopes to get to Bali some day. When he´s not carving up waves around the world, he´s busy coaching some of Tahiti´s young surfing talent. He also loves soccer, Formula 1 and motorbikes. And if you´re ever lucky enough to have him over for dinner, he loves Poisson Cru!
