Party at the End of the Road || Pro Surfing & Freediving at Teahupo'o Tahiti (Chopes)

[@rhett4027]

I can not BELIEVE how much interest the cat shows in everything Jason is doing......watching Jason crank on the hatch! Amazing cat. I had to look up the cat to find out the breed....then I saw a rough old sailor mans face in the reef you were shooting......."Part of the ship...part of the crew" - Bootstrap

[@pepleatherlab3872]

I think it's interesting that I had just returned from surfing Teahupo'o when I discovered your channel. You guys were still in the RV at the time and had passed within several miles of my Michigan home. I remember thinking 'You ain't seen nothing yet.' Well, it now appears that you've seen quite a bit. An interesting thing about that beach is it's only accessible from a boat OR by renting a four wheeler and riding many miles across cold volcanic flows. It's usually the destination of my vacations every other year in February. Congrats on your discoveries and growth. I look forward to your next adventures.

[@timcombes9054]

Jason, your editing is right on target. You caught Nikki under water slowly pushing herself along. Then you captured an old turtle slowing pushing itself along. A nice contrast between human and animal. Good job!

[@EVCarGuy]

I just love you two! I feel like I'm watching two of my family members having a great time! Safe travels!

[@whoknew674]

Love your positive attitude and opneness to new expierences. Thanks for checking out the billabong pro. I hope you visit more surfing events on your travels!

[@davidj.jorgensen4828]

Greenback Surf Club / FLL - U are so lucky to have caught the contest, but all BIG contests have a window of time to try to SURF when the WAVES are best.

[@peteguldan1236]

Thanks. You guys have developed into pretty awesome video editors. The way everything blends through the timeline is on par with the better stuff out of Hollyweird but your content blows them away. Please keep doing what you're doing.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Oh man, that's waaaayyyyyy more of a compliment than we deserve 😊

[@henryostman5740]

You ought to publish a 'how to make a video' and sell it to Utube so they can train some of their other folks how they should do it. Too many have bad pictures but more often and worse is sound levels, either too quite or TOO LOUD (made my point). Another thang they do is scenes like hammering a nail, OK we get it with the first bang, not the fifty that follow. As pros I bet you have your own issues on this. I edit a lot of still photos and it seems that most cameras average things out on exposure, washing out bright spots and leaving the shadows in the dark, most of my edits are undoing this and there is a lot of detail hidden in these areas, I'm sure that digital video editors can do the same magic.

[@todaysrealhealth8038]

Henry Ostman so agree. Always having to turn TV volume up or down. All these hard hearing teenagers with ruined hearing

[@BryanAiello]

I salute the dedication here. 100% would wake up at 5am motivated as hell to clean the boat with morning dew, then realize its too dark to do anything but drink coffee and be mad at myself.

[@rod22lt]

Great vid as usual. That little black dog melted my heart...reminded me of my gone-but-never-forgotten dog Jake. Thanks. Lots of love to u both

[@janethartwig774]

rod22lt That darling dog reminded me of my long gone, always remembered, Pomeranian Suki. Sweet memory.

[@journey2fifty]

Those transitions you use with ur drone footage are next level!

[@leslieholt813]

Man I couldn't stop giggling after hearing Nikki's "I'll tell you when it's time" hilarious. Great vid guys would of been stoked to catch that comp.

[@divinentd]

That’s so cool! We were just there, at the end of the road, two weeks ago. We only had a day on Tahiti, so we rented a car and drove to the end of the road on both sides of the island, and also to the plateau in middle of Tahiti Iti. We loved visiting and snorkeling around French Polynesia so much we’re already planning a visit for next year, and we’re still on this trip (in Cusco Peru now to see Machu Picchu).

[@sailingrubyrose]

Some thoughts: 1) Nikki's sleepy voice is the *cutest*!! 2) If Nick ever wakes me up at 5:30 to CLEAN THE BOAT I... honestly don't know what I'd do. Nothing good. 3) That anchorage was so beautiful at sunrise though. 4) I miss you!! Okay, only 4 minutes in, I'll carry on watching now. 😘

[@TheThreebucks]

Jason, I am hopping around your back catalog while I keep up on current videos and this one just struck me, for the excellent audio editing. You always do great cinematography and visual editing but also Thank you thank you for paying attention to the total level and keeping it actually level! So many KZbinrs make musical interludes SO LOUD and having to constantly adjust the volume is very annoying. When I didn’t have long Covid, I used to be a digital media college instructor and would faithfully lead my students to adjust audio levels so they are as even as possible and if I were still teaching, I would use this video as an example. ✊

[@judyrosy]

Ok...you need to know....your editing skills are leaving me breathless and utterly full of joy and beauty. What a wonderful life you have.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Wow, thank you Judy 💗

[@CheersWarren]

We used to watch the Dutch cruisers in the inland waterways wipe the dew of their boats every morning or the dirt in the air stains the deck when the dew dries. We use used to just throw a bucket of water over the deck and call it quits! Cheers Warren

[@alexd302]

Paradise really needs clear blue skies!Thanks for the great video's.

[@JimMeredithSD]

Wow drone shots are awesome

[@marni246]

As a cat owner myself, I absolutely adored the opening moments with Singa helping/supervising! 😂

[@scenefromabove]

The tamure is such a mesmerising dance that I can totally understand why sailors like those on the Bounty decided to mutiny to go and live with the natives.

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

What an amazing place!!! The Black Sand Beach on one side and a beautiful pond on the other!!!

[@lindadurst9658]

Love my Sunday mornings with The Wynns! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@trevorcrowley2569]

Like when you both share the cleaning of your boat. It always looks clean and near. A fun adventure with the surfers!

[@peterg.8245]

Love the aerial drone shots they’re very zen and make me happy

[@mikegunn8667]

Your underwater photography has really reached another level (great editing also). Good on you both for giving us such great content. We are sooooo jealous of you guys!

[@defel1]

You put a lot of happiness into the web with your adventures and videos.Thanks a ton.

[@Eurocatbaby]

Singa has to have his screen time I love it. I love the music you use on the video. Nikki's tag line, "I'll tell when it's time." Idea's are great in theory but when sometimes hard to implement before you've woken up.

[@magicparrot]

The coffee transition was perfectly brewed. Your perspective is refreshing. You have a great sense of humor. You're like a ray of sunshine on a really dreary day. Thanks for clearing my headache. Love you!

[@DJewell]

Great music and videography. Nice and light & happy, thanks.

[@lindapearson3411]

Thank for giving us belly laughs! It was a good idea to wash the boat with the dew water! It would be something I would think of to do, being frugal and not liking the heat!

[@davidtordoff1232]

GREAT! Amazing how fast that turtle could go when he/she spotted you. The surfing thing was really odd. Seems like a lot of people would spend a bunch of money to be there and expect 3 days of parties. Alas!

[@ncdean62]

Another day in the life! Absolutely amazing! You two rock! So glad I get to see these places through your eyes...

[@trumpetmano]

Nice to see the Eels are still there!!!

[@elborikua951]

Loving the transitions and the music, and the whole dang video!!

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Great shots of the reef pass and wave - especially the drone ones. Good stuff!

[@mariocooke5463]

YT is full of films on Chopes -one of the most perfect and gnarliest waves

[@Lulu4Him]

I love that tune: La la la la, la la la la. What is it? It stays with me all day long. Love you guys.

[@latitudeash]

In my book you both are winners. Living the dream, one can only hope 👍🏼❤️

[@Jim.Hummel]

LOL...talk about marital miscommunication! So funny! And I'm super happy to see Cleo & Singa more involved with the shooting and be in front of the camera...they deserve some of the limelight, too! Another happy Sunday Video Funday with the #Wynns !

[@alansolomon5527]

Thanks for the video. Great water. Great snorkeling. Great cats. Great smiles. Thanks.

[@ldirk58601]

Ok, I hope they named that dog Freddie :-) Adorable. Tahiti, where even our dogs are smiling.

[@sinderellaattheball9998]

1st prize $100,000 USD, 2nd prize $55,000 USD. Wooooow, I think I need to take up surfing! 👍 This vid was fab guys!

[@TheJttv]

I believe surf competitions are scheduled with extra days because they can't predict the weather or waves. And the flights cost more than days on location.

[@VeganSurf]

Specifically, the dates announced for most WSL tour events are a window - the actual surfing happens whenever the best swell is during that window and may be either spread out or compressed into a small amount of time based on the specific forecast and waves during the event. An event may even be surfed entirely on 1 day if that is the only surfable day during the window...

[@CEOsario]

Keep "Hanging Loose" guys....Thanks again for sharing.

[@GravInducedSleepTrac]

LOL! That dog shot was hilarious! He/she had this nervous grin on his face! Beautiful shots/video. Loved the part where you played a very Christian music background :) Can appreciate you recognize his beautiful work/creation in all the places you are fortunate to visit! :)

[@samwalker3441]

Great use of the audio in this one. From the produced music to the sounds from one scene being repurposed to add to another. Fabulous.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Thanks for letting us know you liked it!

[@alsabido9448]

Hi guys... You guys have inspired me to want to go sailing/traveling. I'm a Coast Guard Vet and watching your videos brings back memories being out in the middle of the ocean going from point to point..... I look fwd to some new videos for 2019/2020

[@lizmasi9918]

Omg! Awesome underwater video! This is my home in a past life. Thank you for letting me see through your camera where I live in my heart.

[@geoffreypope9497]

Thanks for the video. Good way to start off my week in the cold Boston weather.

[@spunkycat6144]

1:35 mark in the Vlog and I already have a huge grin on my face. I know it's going to be a great Vlog. I've seen the cat and heard some witty remarks. 😽😺😼 But wait there's more..yesss.

[@gonewiththewynns]

NICE, i like your scorecard :)

[@IridescentJen]

stumbling upon the tahiti pro, thatʻs a dream come true for me :)

[@mrc1539]

Another great fun video, thanks so much . 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️ !

[@nicholasbigney4143]

Nice...my fix of Wynns here in Houston. And washing the boat because free water? OK. Just some of the craziness we do to save water. Like dragging dishes in a bag behind the boat--talk about a pot scrubbing cycle! What a great life.

[@gogs1468]

As always, brill video, fantastic under water footage apart form the shots of Nikki! Cleo and Singa kept out of this video, probably sleeping.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Singa was front and center in the beginning :)

[@christineminer2117]

Really like the Adi Levi song with the snorkeling piece---captured the moment! More surfing stories would be great!

[@james5460]

I completely understand the water thing. Water is scarce where I am. You hear the raindrops, you run and get the buckets set up. Free water from the sky is life and you use it when you get it. Very realistic points made in this video.

[@deborahsundbergdvorak7779]

@ 16:23 there is an actual real glass phone booth!!! Wow! That is a lost artifact in the US! Great video today. My Monday inspiration this week. Love ya guys, as always be safe!

[@markgraves9429]

Just got back from the North Shore in HI. There were two days of 40 foot faces that finally settled down to 25 footers. What a good time was had by all.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Wow!

[@chrisdcostello]

Such an amazing morning. You two work so well together.

[@nealieanderson512]

The colors are spectacular in this video. Reflections on water behind Nicky talking about coffee is unreal. Even though it was painful to get up the magic gift seemed worth it. Amazing surfing!

[@gonewiththewynns]

yea, I thought those colors reflecting in the clean solar panels were pretty epic too :)

[@lauramendoza1602]

Loved the song choice !!!

[@tomwilliams8675]

You guys are the best! I was going to say "Bitchin man" 😁 Such a beautiful place. It's our dream vacation area. Some day we'll get there. Thanks so much for showing us around. Are you sure you don't need a 62 year old boat boy and his wife to clean the boat in the morning. 😂😁😆 Great episode. Much love from your friends in snowy Syracuse NY.

[@Wordsnwood]

First place, a hundred grand!!!!! Wow. Did not look that big from the video, but I saw that number on the results board when you panned past. Wow again!

[@steadmanhall7184]

Oh my gosh!!! I love the new music!!! It’s so groovy

[@tomd.3082]

Nikki and Jason, Another great video. I was ROFL at the 5 am boat wash. Free water, heck yeah! That's something I'll be doing when I purchase my boat. I have my eye on a couple that would be just right for a solo sailor. Thank you again for taking me along on your journey.

[@cfeigel]

Hi, Singa! You're such a big help!

[@gonewiththewynns]

He's always helping :)

[@tsnieb]

It's hilarious with all the roosters crowing.

[@jochenludewig8857]

It's a VERY brave man that wakes attempts to wife at 0530 for a work detail.....that is legendary status Jason and you lived to see another sunrise! lol. Great work with the drone, as usual for you folks. Tahiti really is paradise! Thanks for sharing, keep safe and well.

[@gonewiththewynns]

yeah but I didn't stand very close to the bed, did I. I'm not that stupid!

[@gregmiller1951]

What great music when you were diving in the beginning!!! Great video you guys!

[@cherylsibson8457]

Happy Moorea sailing to you well, see, we'll keep healthier if we get up early and wash the boat, and yeah it shows! Great show!

[@spacesaverbob]

Just saw some footage from 2013. Holy Crap! Big waves. Big. Like....scary.

[@shelaghegar6083]

Had to stop after the first five minutes just to say how terrific that snorkeling sequence was! Music was perfect.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Ohhhh, thanks!

[@loriannc9302]

Loved the cleaning music!

[@brigittecrawley2957]

Very cool day. Boat looks nice and clean but getting up so early seems crazy. Lovely place.

[@lupaofpack]

The music match to video was great! I like the bit where you sped up the video to go with the increasing tempo of the drums, it's those little touches that make your stuff "next level" when it comes to watching these types of videos. Every time I see your amazing photography/videography (sp? is that a word? lol) of the places you are visiting I think, "These guys need to make a calendar part of their gear shop and then...I realize people probably don't do actual calendars anymore and I'm getting old. lol

[@gonewiththewynns]

HA, the calendar that nobody bought :) Thanks for the kind words and the chuckle...I remember when I used to get excited about buying a new calendar: would i get one with cars or girls?!? hmmmmm :)

[@buggyhazelnut2668]

Good video. Liked the music and BTW I remember my teenage sisters in the 60's saying bitchen. We lived in southern ca.

[@gonewiththewynns]

haha, yep must be an older CA thing!

[@Vitoandolini13]

Another outstanding, gnarly production. Thank you

[@desalvo66]

best visuals yet.. and hell of nice job editing.. and camera work..

[@Maxid1]

Your mere suggestion is Jasons command, that retroactively turns into his demand. Solidly in "watch out what you wish for" territory here.

[@gonewiththewynns]

yep, she wanted to use the dew...but as soon as the sun comes up it burns the dew away. I don't think she thought of that when she casually said "we should wash the boat in the morning with all this dew" 😂

[@GregoryFariss]

Gone with the Wynns I don’t think she was awake or thinking straight when she said that. Jason, you should have rolled over and gone back to sleep. ;)

[@ianburne751]

Great music this week, and great production as always. Love you guys

[@7376282]

Go see my childhood friend Hans Hedemann in Waikiki. Best surf school in the world. Hans is a (mostly) haole boy from the Windward Side of Oahu where his family has deep roots. Kid was afraid of the water when he was little. Then, he became a world champion surfer.

[@JohnS-zq8ks]

Threw each other under the bus about getting up to clean :-) Love it! Nice palm tree.

[@whippleslap]

Not sure if anyone has ever asked but because you previously spent so many years in an RV can you compare the amount of work needed for each lifestyle? Like, as far as maintenance goes which required more work and which do you feel had the better “payoff” for that work?

[@gonewiththewynns]

The short answer: Both have equal payoffs but the boat is waaaayyyyy more work.

[@annthrockmorton5594]

Y'all are a whole new level -- of every level!! Thanks for my Sunday cheer up!! Mahalo!! 😄

[@royshaft]

Best two hours of the day in my book.

[@alofns]

I enjoyed the video a lot. The camera work and editing were next level. Thanks for sharing.

[@dusty265]

As always thanks for sharing your adventures with us, really the best sailing/travel channel on KZbin!

[@adss70]

Brilliant editing. I can see the extra effort that you guys put into your videography. The storyline was also very enjoyable... as always. Thank you.

[@brianjoyce9040]

Thankful is good self-awareness. Nice. Great stuff as always

[@davidnelson3411]

Party at your boat. We'll all be right there. Great episode 👌 you guys Rock 👊

[@theodorebowers9737]

Love the water , funny as hell great video I think maybe your best congrats

[@dougvarvil6435]

One of your best videos yet. Great upbeat and energetic music, drone work was awesome, positive, pleasant and entertaining conversations. No dramas. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@gonewiththewynns]

Thanks Doug!!! We'll keep chugging along sans drama...unless something crazy happens :)

[@michaelwojcik6577]

Thanks for sharing and saving me money. Anyone ever ask me if I want to go see a surfing competition, I'll pass. People tell me baseball is boring.

[@TLAR24]

Thanks for the share Nikki and Jason safe travels.

[@allisonhamilton1222]

Oh yeah love the music and all the under sea videos.

[@klouism1]

Great video as always. Keep having fun !

[@sljs1010]

That place looks like heaven on earth.

[@TAPPChannel]

paradise guys!! Love it... I've got a smile on my face because its looks even better than Hawaii :) Have you ever stop at Hawaii with your boat???

[@gonewiththewynns]

We've been to HI many times, but not with the boat.

[@wildwestunlimited]

I don't EVER want your videos to end!!! I get sad every time one of your videos are over.... :-( Then I gotta wait another week!

[@clay.willoughby]

Nikki: I'll tell you when it's time! THAT is marriage right there.

[@TheAtma50]

Happy St Patricks Day... May the Lord keep you in His hand ... and never close His fist to tight !!
