[@VoorheesDan]

I don't surf, but I just like looking at the size of the waves. These guys got guts to do that. Amazingly amazing.

[@truthaboutflu]

These guys are amazing...I want to see those waves in person!

[@AtheistsAreGODS]

This wave is so unique. Amazing. It has the whole ocean mass behind it. It's like a deadly plateau of H20. Hey that rhymes, i'm Teahupoo poet.

[@ScorpionNani]

...dude right in the beggining...the best part... 50 feat teahupoo wave...tonns of water in their head...the best wave i've ever seen... I won't go in there for all the money in the world

[@wecliquetoo]

Manoa was blessed to have this wave..the moment, the oppurtunity, the precision, he seized it...teahupo'o is considered one of the heavyest waves in the world next to mavericks & jaws on maui.

[@1234567890sunshine]

Teahupoo has to be the prettiest wave i've ever seen

[@Tonymaniac]

[@ladysecretz]

Gawd, that's so awesome! I'm not a surfer, but I often have dreams of waves that big.

[@MalcolmShawVids]

The energy from the wave transfers to make a nice wall of water as it moves from deep water to a shallow level reef.

[@MissNely94]

waves at teahupoo are kickass

[@shubster69]

oool dude! njoy ridin'!!

[@lovepaquito]

[@ighfee]

[@Wolvereyne]

[@MrJunior81095]

[@yapira3d]

Quite big, but I think the Cribber in New Quay, Cornwall was bigger and more gnarly when I watched it pump last Sept!

[@makasplaf]

OMG!!! that first wave!!!!

[@divedeepinside-JK]

very nice !!!!

[@bdon77]

omfg what a beast!! good job

[@pwnproof]

@Watzitoya there are straps on the boards (specifically for big waves like this - and tow in surfing)

[@tmacfan16]

:32 is huge . much respect to this guys/girls

[@MrAlekz]

those waves have so much force, i went surfing on small waves and they slam you into the bottom, you would be so screwed if a big wave crashed on you

[@juskickenit2]

To answer your reef question, It not necessarily the reef that makes it a good condition but instead the slope or the angle that the reef provides. As a small wave comes from the ocean and crosses a reef, the depth is affected. Which causes a great deal of friction on the lower part of the wave, while the friction or speed of the top of the wave continues at the same rate. Causing a curl or a large face which is ideal for surfing.

[@blackknights94]

dude lauri has sick speed man, you see that when she just shot out before it closed? that was sickkkk

[@M1M1M1nty]

that first wave is unbelievable

[@JohnnyFootball1]

The really big waves lurk off the southern California coast, 100 miles out of San Diego at the Cortes Bank. Here, a 17-mile underwater mountain range comes to a head 3 feet below the surface at a spot called Bishop Rock. This place has been known to ocean-going ship captains and fishermen for years. The waves at Cortes Bank signal danger on the underwater rocks and are so big they show up on radar. Check it out- 100 foot waves on a lucky day.

[@reyosguitar]

im a bodyboarder but this is amazing they are crazy i dont know how to explain it..

[@abe_ismain]

SO SICK!

[@shazzmate]

thats insane aye. wish i had the guts to do something like that.

[@freerunner2450]

Man...I can't compare this to coffs harbour, this is beyond perfect. If only the ride went for abit longer. Anyone know the song?

[@brennoprakken]

dude that's sick

[@jjs4you2]

Like a machine!

[@ApEx1HP]

they are breaking right over a coral reef, that and the added incoming swell and you have a recipe for massive waves. if you look at aerial shots of teahupoo it literally looks like a big bowl.

[@rupimumaa]

awesome awesome!

[@RandumbReasons]

perfection

[@tangerine1490]

these waves are insane. they're very cylindrical, because there is a large area of shallow reefs near the shore that break them up suddenly and violently. maybe the hardest in the world to ride. i'm scared just seeing them!

[@orangetransformer]

i dont even think there is a word for the amount of pain that you would feel if you fell off that wave lol

[@mattymx21]

surfing is one of the hardest sports in the world u have to know which way the waves gonna break and if u wipeout it can be game over

[@notetoselfimissyouxx]

dude!! how do the waves get that big? scary they're like tsunamis!

[@momoney6ix]

holy man thats a BIG wave

[@Epinephrine818]

Hope they brought an extra pair of shorts

[@Debbie321lopez]

how can those waves be so high?

[@parrotfishko]

oh my god!!! cant stand on this giant wave!!..but i can...only in my dreams..lol

[@wthdidusay]

TOW IN DAYS ARE CRAZY ... yes i have surfed that spot ... and I'm still alive..

[@jjs4you2]

It's not fake, it's as real as it will ever get! Teahupoo!

[@Blazerx88x]

Omg........soo crazyy!!!! yeahh!!!!

[@profunknown]

I envy people who live cole to such a beauty. for instance, I'm from Russia and I have no chanse to taste myself to surve - it's my old dream. so, offshore settlers, save your nature and your ocean

[@TheSSDrift]

@banksyrocks1 yes actually. Teahupo'o is one of the most dangerous breaks because it's a shallow reef. known as the worlds "heaviest surf", this wave is incredibly thick and if the weight of the wave crashing on you isn't enough to knock the air out of you, it will be knocked out when that weight throws you into the reef below. this wave is by NO means for the novice or amateur surfer. pros only. even on a small day.

[@wilchesE]

My number one fear in life.. TSUNAMIS and big waves like these!!! i might take on surfing to stop my fear

[@Tom6093]

True !!!! But the lakes get some decent surf in the winter.

[@Jantles]

How...? Why...? CRAZY just flippin CRAZY!!

[@Achita69]

TEAHUPOO is the best !!

[@Toxxic88]

Anyone know, if you choke on a wave that massive, how long will you be under water?

[@MadSound321]

they are a very good surfer

[@davethejay]

Teahupoo unleashed!!!!

[@saddamdontsurf]

HUGE waves, HUGE barrels, HUGE balls.

[@vtg401009]

and they make a living doing this, thats awesome

[@Paddyslippers]

unbelievable.. that takes balls to do

[@crosshairs3]

why in the movie endless summer they said tahiti has no surf. there is a reef that kills swells on one side. I guess since that was in 1966 it wasn't discovered yet? last summer there was crazy waves when a storm just sat off the coast

[@z1d]

this is love

[@richmariahemancipate]

these are the people who can survive the tsunami.

[@POPMagazine]

That is out of hand!

[@adamhfilms]

well said

[@Thibauddu44]

super

[@stank023]

...nice...

[@metallideth83]

If I ever saw a wave that big coming towards me, I'd probably shit my pants.

[@tsktommy]

thats sick, i wish i could do that.

[@mehtes]

[@whiteboi097]

[@redvain]

ohhhhhhhhhh gooooooooooooooooooood nahhhhhh

[@4erosmith]

AWESOME... Huge waves for huge balls :D

[@Hantoi]

[@anythinggiggles]

holy shit, lol. if i saw that where i lived, i think i would cry. Our waves dont get that big.

[@SnakeHelah]

damn too bad there isnt that big wawes in my country :(

[@Lucasa6969]

Are you almost guaranteed to hit the reef on an average wave at chopes?

[@cyphdrumbum]

I sooooooooo agrre with you!Locals only?Do you OWN the place?!no comments...

[@nil7060]

where is it??????????? answer me pleaaaaaase!

[@DavidSunloveroflife]

Drollet had the heaviest, tallest wave I've ever seen. Makes Laird's wave look easy compared to that

[@kirra77]

Is that Virginia Beach? I hear it a pretty hardcore place.

[@615galler]

they are crazy¡¡¡¡¡

[@watzitoya5821]

One question, do these surfers tie their boards to a foot or something?
