I watch Teaupoo videos every day in class. I hung out with Rob Machado and Kelly Slater a few weeks ago and they were telling me about Teaupoo this past summer for the Billibong Competition. It was code red which means that no matter how good of a surfer you are, you don't fuck with this waves. They will end your life.

It's not the water that will end your life, it's the razor sharp reef underneath the waves that will end your life.

just watched that and nearly shat myself, it's insane how much water is being displaced in those waves! its like 65465153 billion tons of water rolling at 55mph, and some lunatics are being towed into it? they are nuts.

How do the boats stay out of the breaking wave? It must be super predictable right at that spot.

That wave is very predictable but it's one of the heaviest waves in the world as well. All that energy usually happens underneath the surface but when you throw a very shallow reef right in the path of all that energy, it has nowhere to go but up and out, creating waves that swallow up airplanes.

Damn nature, you scary.

I'd surf double overhead without even giving it a second though, three times over if I knew the place.

The only thing my mind tells me when I see that wave is " keep yo haole ass on da beech".

i'd love to be on one of those boats or jetski's to observe... must be amazing!

Teahupoʻo is a village on the south-west coast of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, southern Pacific Ocean.[1] It is known for the surf break and heavy, glassy waves offshore, often reaching 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft) and up to 70 feet. It is the site of the annual Billabong Pro Tahiti surf competition, part of the World Championship Tour (WCT) of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour surfing circuit and used to be one stop in the World Tour of the International Bodyboarding Association.[2]

Teahupo'o is a reef break. The swells mainly break left, but the outer reef also creates right breaks that surfers must be cautious of when paddling out. Teahupo'o is also renowned for the consistent number of barrels it delivers. It is a rewarding location and is widely regarded as being on the 'must-surf' list of every enthusiastic surfer. However, only experienced surfers in peak physical condition should attempt Teahupo'o; heavy waves combined with a shallow shoreline can result in serious injuries and even death in a wipeout.

I'd be too tempted to try to surf it with the boat.

I'd rather take my chances climbing Mt. Everest than Surf at Teahupo'o.

holy mother of fuck...

Check out Jaws in the Hawaiin islands or even Mavericks off the coast of northern California. Hell, even South Africa produces some gnarly waves. Even here in Huntington, for the US Open this past summer, a perfect SSW swell came in and was throwing consistent sets of double overhead waves. Know your limits and respect your skill level and you'll be alright.

Yeah, they also got epic conditions here @ supertubes a week ago. I got awesome waves there, slightly raped too.
