Surfing

See inside a ship like the one housing Olympic surfers

Share

The 2024 Paris Olympics surfing competition will take place in Tahiti, half-way across the world from the rest of the games — and the Olympic village. Rather than endure traditional Olympic accommodations, the surfers will spend their off-time aboard an Aranui 5 cruise ship.

Although the surfers' temporary home may vary from the boat's usual layout, the following photos capture the interior of a typical Aranui 5 ship.
