How to build a roof from coconut palm leaves in Bora Bora | SLICE

In Polynesia, there are two main seasons : the hot and humid season from November to April and the cold and dry season from May to October. Due to the tropical climate, the rains tend to get heavy and torrential. ⛈ Meet Teuira and his father in early November as they are getting ready to fix their roof to cope with the storms. To do so, they rely on the coconut palm tree. While its fruits provide food and drink, its leaves and tree bark are enough to build a waterproof shelter! 🏝 Extract from the series "Sea Legends - Teirua, the man who talks to sharks" Direction : Jean-Michel Corillion Production : ZED We fully own the rights to the use of the published content.
