Biggest, Scariest Teahupoo in Over a Decade
Спорт
July 13th, 2022 will go down in history at Teahupo'o. Biggest, scariest day in more than a decade, prompting local officials to call a "Code Red" -- no nautical activities for 24 hours -- for the first time since 2011. And it was a session more than a decade in the making as well -- most of the surfers who tackled these beasts were children during the original Code Red swell in 2011. They grew up in the shadow of its legends and this was their chance to make their own. Here’s the entire Surfline Swell Story, documented from all angles and with behind-the-scenes interviews from those who were lucky enough to experience this historic day. Surfers include: Matahi Drollet, Emieo Czermak, Noah Beschen, Lucas Chumbo, Koa Rothman, Tereva David, Justine Dupont and Billy Kemper.
Through the Lens of: Tim McKenna, Anuanua Lucas, Pedro Bala, Tereva David, Lea Hahn, Diego Balestro.

How crazy to witness a whole generation of surfers. I followed a young Shane Beschen's career and now to see his son ripping some of the biggest waves of the year is kinda crazy.
The drone footage is really interesting. There are no lines coming in, but you literally see the whole ocean fold over on the reef. That's like flat in hawaiian measurements.

Of all the extreme sports, this seems like it requires the most skill and the most courage… imo. So terrifying yet so intriguingly compelling.
Mad respect to billy kemper for bouncing back after his wipeout. Takes major guts and mental strength to overcome that. When i saw teahupoo hit 30-35ft on surfline, I knew we'd see some mutants

@@donaldwilson5693 When you fall on Jaws or Nazaré there’s definitely a chance you bottom out, but the difference here is that Chopes is situated over a live coral reef, and it’s a very forceful, heavy lipped wave that shoots you to the bottom hard. Thanks to the reef that means serious injuries are likely if you get caught inside, so you gotta be extra choosey out there in a normal scenario. In a code red swell, those risks multiply. If the offshore winds (winds going out to sea from the coast) are coming and going that can affect the shape of the wave as well, causing more close outs/bad waves, and the guys who live and breathe big waves are pretty good at reading them ahead of time. hope this helps🤙🏼

@@westoneuler4065 Interesting. How do they know which waves to take, and which to pass up? Are they looking for particular qualities of the wave, or do they mostly just go by feel? I once watched a bunch of surfers not-surf big wave after big wave, and in that case it just seemed like everyone was intimidated by the size of the waves, and no one summoned the courage to try to ride one.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! Thank y’all SO MUCH for making this VIDEO!!! I wish I could....! Oh well. Thank you again, CHEERS TO Y’ALL, and Much Aloha!!--to everyone!!

Noah’s wave was on another level of already crazy levels!!
7:45 XXL contender! Even the drone narrowly escaped that monster.
Fantastic presentation, worthy of the day.

Very well done. Thanks

Crazy shape wave and all the spray and over the outside at the end...wow!
Next time you cover one of these, maybe you could film and ask the guys to talk about a little bit of what the jet ski driver and surfer see so they know where the wave will build, what ir looks like, when it starts to curl and fold over, what they see inside those caves formed by the water, and what speeds they move at--slower and faster at what points and why? A little lesson and 1st hand experiencing for non-surfers? These guys have the equivalent of PhDs in these kinds of waves and how to ride them. Thanks so much!
I’ma lidder but my jaw instantly dropped with that opening wave of Noah’s.. Oh my Faaaarrrking goodness! Respect 🤙🏻
Noah's without a doubt, the best ride I've ever seen. Should be ride of the year if not one of the best ... Top ten ever?
