One of the best videos I've seen in 50 years of watching surf movies and videos. Go local boys! That's your spot, love it and stay positive.

[@winstonwhite894]

wow some of those drops were unbelievable, locals are up there with the best

[@donaldbest7621]

Incredible level of surfing, deeper, heavier drops. Every wave is off the hook. I like what is said of the locals, and all the respect given, well deserved!

[@chancehenderson9722]

I wish I could go there someday Surfing is my dream job! Love the channel

[@CLee-oy1li]

The third last one( dude with the Gath) with his hands behind his back looking at the the roof just standing tall! All time style 🤙 the dive towards the boat just tops it off! Sooo good. A+

[@phillipsteiner3581]

These guys are fearless! Total dedication to ride these slabs of death.

[@joecarnes9174]

None should think they own the swell..... that's a good way to eventually get bit. Awsome video! Thanks!

[@zachwuensch4930]

I don't understand who would give that a thumbs down... so sick!

[@dmvgrower9290]

Best thing ever, way to go dudes keep up the awesome work 💯😎👍

[@gigenda1]

Slowmotion + music reduces the feeling of real waves You should do raw version with sounds of crushing waves Playback speed 2x helps little Great video anyway 👍🏻

[@thorinplays8563]

I agree with you. It gives you more of a feel of what it’s like to be there when it’s raw footage, you just feel the tension and the anticipation more. 🤙🏻

[@wistemclai9584]

Quero que sinalize o meu sinal youtob

[@ymatT601]

Check out the 2013 may swell raw footage, it’s sick 20+ minutes of unedited madness.

[@headmondronary2127]

Insane vid! These amateurs are world class. They could dominate any wave in the world the way they surf this place.

[@alexhemingway6549]

Tikanui, the Julian Wilson slayer. Hope he makes it into the event again this year

[@NVArt001]

I am still amazed at how thick and clean that wave is, after years of watching people surf it.

[@gusgiesel]

I love all the Teahupoo surfing videos. It sounds like all the cool locals moved to Tahiti... too many times I have traveled to surf and the local surfers are all total jerks. I bring the Aloha spirit anyway, but its hard sometimes when you are the only one with a good attitude.

[@clarkewi]

Impressive. One of these dudes is going to win big.

[@bobgoodoien3670]

love the humility. right on, boyz.

[@marksheehan8026]

Pro surfers n alot of travellers are usually so disrespectful. Modern surfing sadly is so self centred listerning to this guy more concerned about the media .. The local surfing amazing

[@Jake_Hamlin]

The media is where the money comes from, without the media that wave wouldnt change your life much...

[@mattwalch4]

I was there shooting that day, and I'm on the thumbnail!

[@marcelasalazar4699]

Just Fascinating!!!💜

[@oxyium3634]

Chopu is unreal,much respect to locals

Massive respect to the local scene down there, charging their home break.

Teahupoo Mon Amour 🌺🌻🌴

[@roberttudor455]

Thats the most perfect ive ever seen it .... amazing ...

[@iprey4surf]

Went first time in '98. Almost all spongers then. So glad I went pre hype. Don't forget to shake hands and smile and give away more than you are given!

[@mateusbonorino8991]

Matahii Drollet is a local stud. Sick tubes where he straight disappears for seconds. Leroy Bellet got a sick one of him too

[@jacklittlefield55]

Enjoy watching the Vaast kids. Kauli has big skills, but his younger siblings can and do charge their local break. I guess their mom is happy they wear headgear, with her kids out there on big waves with jagged reef under shallow water. Recently saw Kauli’s 11 year old brother riding a very respectable wave there.

[@debrabiderman4275]

Just absolutely beautiful water and wonderful surfers. A joy to watch.

[@MrJohanOne]

Good to see the brothers having fun at Home 🙏 action start at 5:04. Maururu roa

[@MrJohanOne]

@@JohnSmith-iy4io agreed 100%

[@ianmoone316]

you guys are definitely as fearless as any pipeline surfer.

[@johnmcculloch5736]

Gotta be one of the steepest learning curves for making it.

[@AgencyVault]

So killer! 🤙

This is a dream wave but sadly one I’ll probably never get to paddle into.

Anyone know the music playing on this clip

[@pops9190]

Is there any particular reason why in this video most of the local boys are backside? Is there another break in the area that is a right-hander?

[@calixteguyot4358]

Nice question, hope we get the answer !

Most people stand regular, probably thats it?

No one owns the waves

[@sanfranciscobay]

Would be nice to install a few high definition cameras on poles in the water so the world can see these waves.

[@taraaliyeva1813]

Dude what is that music?! Send the link please!

[@headmondronary2127]

The water photographer's should have their own vid of them doing their job/art.

[@peterjongsma5297]

Teahupoo is pronounced is Choppa? Bloody French. No Jet Skis? Na. Boom!!!!

[@jezpriest8440]

Driver is a disgrace!

[@divebobber]

It would be good to see these waves ridden out. It would take someone a little further in to do it. Sometimes you can't tell if they rode it out or not.
