The Bora Bora Liquid Festival

Held every year since 2000 the Bora Bora Liquid Festival (better known to the locals as the IronMana) has taken over the crystal clear waters of Bora Bora, Polynesia's most beautiful island atoll. The week long festival is an all-out celebration of multiple ocean-based disciplines including a 6km swim, a 55km surfski division, a waterman triathlon, SUP and Va'a sprint races, and of coarse the festival's traditional endurance race. On the final day of the festival the best of the best watermen compete in either a 40 km SUP and Lay Down Paddle Race, a 50 km Surf Ski Race, or the 60 km Solo Outrigger Canoe Race.

Ry Craike searches Taiwan for high quality surf

The obvious joke to be made here is that products commonly manufactured in Taiwan have a tendency to lack in quality, due to cheap labor and materials, while ironically, the waves produced there can be world class.

Here Ry Craike bravely navigates the sea of crappy household items to find some watery nuggets.
