Fare Left
Fare Left is Huahine's most iconic wave—a powerful reef pass left with quality barrels that is the region's most surfed break. Known for heavy localism from the "Black Shorts" crew, respect is absolutely essential. The pass channels SW groundswells into long, hollow lefts over coral reef. Accessible by 30-minute paddle or boat from Fare town.
