BOMBS WE LOVE - Teahupo'o Tahiti, July 2024

[@beauchamp1763]

Yeah I think it's getting a bit over crowded in the channel and for these guys exiting the wave at the speed that their going it must be hard to avoid all these boats. Maybe a cap on the amount of boats that can sit in the channel before their is a serious collision. Another great video Tim, you always seem to be in the right place at the right time mate. 😱🇦🇺

[@martincallaghan6563]

Never gets old never get tired of it be watching chopes since the first time it was ever on film

[@PopeyeFPV]

Tim, you really make the best surfing content out there. Insane videography, perfect editing. Just incredible. A+++++++++ 10/10

[@Kahuna54]

Just watching this wave from the shoulder gives me chills! Even at my prime I doubt I could have pushed myself over the ledge into these monster waves!

[@dunningkruger3774]

Trying to imagine seeing this film 50 years ago...like a package from the future to show us where we were headed. There would have been no wild hooting in the theater....just stunned silence. Like the Wright Brothers seeing an SR-71. This film is a masterpiece. The surfing...and hard charging was off the charts.

[@Speartex]

The waves looks smooth and heavy its beautiful 😮

[@Si-zz7ul]

I really love your vids Tim appreciate your effort and final product best in the business.

[@scottmichael6719]

[@shanehaggblom220]

Yo, the start of this clip is amazing that young local dude speaking about his local break. He’s beautiful. There is some sort of respect honour, beauty, belief control you know Man I’m not sure what your name is Pau but you will be and are now a very bright star Thank you for letting us come across to

[@marchowa153]

Man that was beautiful. You did a great job despite ask the boats. Been there once on a smaller day and it was intimidating enough. But in this size 😮. And Matahi and Eimeo make it look so easy throwing themselves over that ledge.❤

[@noemieepie6582]

[@NVArt001]

That water looks so clear, I'd love to dive there. I'd love to watch the surfing also.

[@joshcopshoes2232]

Definitely a wonder of the World

[@retribution999]

As an intermediate surfer in the UK used to 4 ft beach breaks i have no idea how anyone can survive being wiped out on such monster waves over shallow reef. Looks like certain death. I assume there are a lot of terrible injuries. Give me empty waves, glassy long rides on a balmy summers evening and Im happy. No stress, no fear just fun and satisfaction. But hats off to you guys.

[@bonbondesel]

I grew up surfing serious powerfull reefbreaks over shallow coral reef in Reunion Island as when you grow up here, if you're surfing, there is not so many options I can tell you that yes I wonder how people thought Teahupoo was ridable. I know people who have charged Teahupoo. They say the videos don't even give justice to how it is really crazy ! In the 90s, people known to be power surfers and heavy waves specialistes like Tom Carroll, and Mike Stewart (pipeline specialist, legendary bodyboarder) saw the wave work in solid conditions but less serious than what people charge nowadays. They thought the wave was too close to the reef, unridable. That is to tell you how serious it is. I asked some of the people in my island who surfed it why we often see people smile in the tube in such dangerous waves. They said "man you're so happy to have just been able to do the drop and not fail the takeoff that you've done the most risky and dangerous part, you smile." It's not that they don't have fear. Not having fear there is being psychotic, crazy. Fear protects you. The most specialized there all experience fear at Teahupoo. It's the respect that the wave and the place demand. Not fearing it would be the same as not fearing a tiger. You've gotta fear it. In a controlled way, but you've got to. People have died and been injured to the point they became disabled for life here. It's not just fun. It's performance and proving yourself to be able to handle and survive it.

[@retribution999]

@@bonbondesel Thanks for your reply. I'm a free climber so I understand to an extent how this works, how you can pull off the seemingly impossible. Big waves scare me to be honest because once they take hold of you your life in entirely in the lap of the Gods. I watch surfers in Bali at Ulu Watu as they paddle out with ease. They have a skill I just don't have. I think starting young really helps. Stay safe!

[@davidwachsstudio]

[@surfwriter8461]

Those waves are just awesome. The slow motion clips are probably best to fully appreciate the overpowering quality of the waves--so thick, forceful and tubular. I can understand how people previously thought these waves would be unrideable because they look unrideable. Now there are too many people out there trying to get into position to experience the most memorable few seconds of your life. I don't even know how these guys can push through such a massive wave when paddling out and close to being drawn into a biggest spin cycle in the world.

[@trendingtigers]

Big question is would they run the Olympics in size like this? I should hope so......

[@smalltowninnewmexico]

If during Olympic surfing competion window, waves get as gnarly as on minute 5, you can count it as a "day off", UNDOUBTEDLY. By the way, AMAZING Soundtrack.

[@Saramcmillan.]

Why the music rather hear the action

[@mattclancy0]

Yes. Would love to hear the crack of each wave breaking rather than the music.

[@nickortcoski6769]

Uts inky ehen slowed down we realise how difficult ut is and even then it's not eniugh. These guys are warrior's! Ther sre no easy wave's to be had when at size. Very lived ti see WSL CT surfers having a go. But rhe locals, my god they rule! Thise fucking tourist boats fucken off the the resr for sure! Thry dont deserve that, the biat drivers need to be educated! I couldn't take my eyes off iff it Tim, again. Nice stuff mate. ❤

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

It's so true. The tourists should get the hell out of the way and let the photographers and film makers do their thing. People be like so selfish. Like all those people on Mt Everest.

[@neptunesgold1216]

The smallest softest wave I've seen caused the worst wipe for the guy in the orange trunks. Funny how life works. All those Wipeout that look like certain death and they just pop right up and smile and go catch another one. This wave was dribbling mush in comparison and homeboy looks like the most dramatic injury I've seen😂😂😂😂 He looks paralyzed for crying out loud.

[@billscholer2887]

The cameras should have visual priority over the spectator boats.

6:00 That lip

[@jeromeermiloff7937]

Pourquoi cette musique. Laissez le son de la vague, il contribue à part entière à l'impression que donne une vague.

[@brucewallner6753]

Pushing limit means only one thing when I see that wave lineup I see at least a third of it not being ridden or yet challenged deep deep, deep positional takeoffs those days are coming

[@Piripirifaufau]

Heureusement qu'il reste encore certains spots secrets en Polynésie où l'on peut mettre un bus dans le tube.. pas d'étrangers, pas de photos..

I have to disagree. I think it gives a great perspective of the entire playing field. It’s a whole different beast when Teahupoo is on, and this reflects that.
