A place he calls the most beautiful in the world. During his time spent on the South Pacific Island, Morgan has gotten to know the Fierro family well. Father Andrew, Mother Hina, and their three daughters, Vahine, Heimiti and Kohai. The three siblings are leading the charge of women\u2019s surfing on the Island, with Vahine (the eldest) making a name for herself at Teahupo\u2019o over recent years, and her sisters will soon follow suit. You can read our profile on Vahine <a href=\"https:\/\/tracksmag.com.au\/rare-birds\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan has pieced together the stunning edit you see above, which features not only the sister&#8217;s skills in the ocean but also their bond as sisters and connection to Tahiti and their ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVahine, Heimiti, and Kohai exude the vibrancy of life, and do it together,\u201d says Morgan. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheir bond is nothing short of magic; these young women are woven into each other\u2019s growth and success. Watching them knock on the door of Teahupo\u2019o one-by-one, Vahine leading the way into some of the heaviest waves I\u2019ve ever seen women surf is enthralling. And so, to visit them at their home, to spend time with the family, to explore nature and the sea with them, all the while chasing swells and watching these women charge bigger and bigger surf, has been utterly moving. I am such a huge fan of these sisters, and the opportunity to point my lens at them as they live, and grow was the thrill of a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visual story-teller, Morgan Maassen, has been travelling to Tahiti for years now.
