After days of barreling along the huge waves of Tahiti's island paradise, French Polynesian surfer Vahine Fierro has even more reason to look forward to this summer's Olympics. Fierro and Italo Ferreira of Brazil won the World Surf League Championship Tour event in Teahupoʻo on Tahiti this week as surfers got a taste of the tropical venue that will host the surfing events for the Paris Olympics.
