Crazy locals
We got to this island, me and a couple friends. Locals showed up at a spot on the west side and asked us to pack up our camera (we were only taking a few pictures, even if the waves were not really worth the whole trip) and leave. As we did not want to cooperate, they just got crazy on us. And more of them came... As we were told later, seems like the place as been visited by a few dickheads before us, and didn't care with what the locals asked them and behaved like selfish dorks in the water. Seems like the locals are getting more and more pissed off when they see more than two surfers travelling together. Don't even think about boat trips ! Not the best trip at all !!!

not worth it!!!
Nowhere to stay, waves aren't as good as Huahine or Tahiti, and the locals are not cool to visiting surfers, pass on this place unless you want to get your ass kicked for some inferior waves!!!

Better not...
Island full of aggro locals, plus the waves are not that good. Needs tons of swell, and wind always wrong. Breaks are far away from shore, boats expensive, and on top of that those guys will kick your ass.Tahiti is way better.
