Men's Outerknown Tahiti Pro 2022

The World Tour Takes on Tahiti

After a 2 year hiatus, the @World Surf League Championship Tour pointed their compass south and headed for The End of the Road: Teahupoo. The contest was met with some of the best contestable conditions of the 2022 season and kept Final Five hopes and dreams alive for surfers like Kanoa Igarashi. Local Chopes specialist Kauli Vaast punched his time card as the contests wildcard and ran his golden ticket all the way to the final heat.

With all of that contest action, you knew the freesurf sessions had to be just as mindblowing. Ace lensman Scott Hammonds was there to document the early mornings and afternoons around it and has packed together only the best clips for a five minute highlight reel. Dive in now and enjoy Five Minutes in Tahiti

Good Luck Kanoa! 頑張れカノア！

The latest deep dive with Kanoa Igarashi might be the best behind the scenes glimpse at the Japanese surfer’s life on tour yet. Needing a huge performance at the last event on the 2022 WSL Championship Tour, the Tahiti Pro, to try and sneak into the Top 5, Kanoa lays it all on the line and pulls off one of the clutch moments of the season at pumping Teahupo’o. Alongside iceman coach Tom Whitaker, Kanoa formulates a plan to stay calm and channel Kelly Slater, and overcomes the stresses of competition in the serene paradise of the South Pacific to book his ticket to the WSL Finals. Everything was beautifully shot and sound recorded by The Marcs, with one epic POV moment from Scotty Hammonds.

We’ll see you at Trestles on the morning of the finals, Kanoa. Be sure to pack your star trunks.
