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.

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.
