Did you know a guy owns Teahupoo? | NO CONTEST OFF TOUR

Surfers around the world have long held Tahiti close to their hearts. Not only is the Polynesian island nation home to one of surfing’s most beautiful cultures, it also houses one of surfing’s most famous, feared and intimidating waves. Ever since the mind blowing 1998 Gotcha Pro first put Teahupo’o on the map surfers have been fascinated with the ferocious reef break known as “The Wall Of Skulls”. As well as an endless competition highlight reel some of the greatest waves of the past 25 years have been ridden in Tahiti, powered by both paddle and PWC.

In 2024 Teahupo’o will be thrust into the wider global sporting spotlight, after France declared the notorious South Pacific reef pass would become the host surfing venue. Not only will the eyes of the world be focussed on the incredible beauty above and below sea level, but on the people and the way of life that make Tahiti so special. If conditions collude next August the images will be beamed around the world, and the tiny town could change forever.

In the latest episode of No Contest, host Ashton Goggans makes the trans-Pacific pilgrimage to Teahupo’o, the little fishing village that punches above its weight in surfing circles, to run a microscope over the impact the Games will have on this patch of paradise. After touching down in Papeete he connects with modern surfing powerhouses Kauli Vaast, Michel Bourez, Vahine Fierro and Eimeo Czermak, meets the man who can lay claim to first surfing at The End Of The Road, local “Godfather” Peva Levy, and connects with two of the area's favourite modern hosts, Tereva David and Tahurai Henry, to tap into the mana of the islands and find out what makes Tahiti tick.

This special episode of No Contest comes at an important time in the life of one of surfing’s most special corners. We hope you enjoy watching the show as much as we enjoyed pulling it together.

GoPro: Surfing Crystal Clear Waves of Teahupo'o with Tereva David

GoPro Athlete Tereva David has made a name for himself surfing the crystal-clear lefts of Teahupo'o 🌊 Join him for a glassy morning off the coast of Tahiti.

SESSIONS | Day of Days at Flawless Pumping Teahupoo

This year’s Friday the 13th brought one of the craziest swells in recent memory to Tahiti’s infamous, “Teahupoo.” Usually synonymous with bad luck, this Friday the 13th brought quite the opposite. With a heavy crew of chargers like Lucas “Chumbo” Chianca, Nate Florence and Matahi Drollet, Teahupoo became the epicenter of the surfing world as the day was packed with clear skies and massive tubes.

When Nate told us it was the ‘hardest he’d ever scored on a surf trip’, we knew it was bound to be nothing short of incredible. Now sit back, relax and enjoy from the comfort (and safety) of your chair this next-level Teahupoo Session.

As Close As You Can Get to Flawless Teahupo’o Without a Board | SURFER

Last month, with one of the best swells to hit Tahiti in years on the way, cinematographer Andrew Kaineder packed his water housing and RED camera, prayed to the reef gods for protection from the sharp coral and set off to document the magnificent swell. It was indeed the same window that featured Matahi Drollet and his Tahitian friend Lorenzo Avvenenti claiming two of the best waves ridden last month in our “Clips of the Month” countdown.

Here Kaineder offers a moody look at a pulsing swell, creating a masterful Tahiti edit scored with an original soundtrack from Onic Studio. The piece above features locals Matahi Drollet, Tamau Tininrau, Tereva David, Mateia Miquily, Eimeo Czermak sharing the lineup with visiting surfers Kiron Jabour, Russell Bierke, Barron Mamiya, Billy Kemper and Benji Brand.

What perfection looks like at Teahupo'o 2018's first swells. | Sessions

The South Pacific jewel shines as winter's first swells show up in style. Teahupo'o has laid relatively dormant over the past few years, an occasional show of strength here, a day or two of pumping swell there, but something looked different when the maps lit up for the first time in 2018. The crew were a combination of local chargers, while an underground posse of Hawaiian and European hellmen made their way to Papeete for the swell too.
