So so so sad. Happened in so many places and always new places get destroyed. They convince the local people that this business will bring money, wellfare, jobs for their children. Then foreign investors and speculators will buy their lands and properties for what seems good money for the poorer locals. Then prices of land and properties will rocket high up, living right their will become too expensive for the locals, jobs will go to people that for too low salaries spend a season or some and the place just becomes a business of outsiders, the money goes to other countries where the investors reside and locals will have lost their paradise, money and jobs, and most of all, the land they could live on without all this business.

This is yet another reason i keep telling people we should aim for a world without money. If we can make it through climate change, we might be able to do it. Our biggest challenge, like with climate change as well, is our global mostly unwilling attitude.

Les JO où le cadeau le plus empoisonné qui soit... J'aurais tellement peur à la place de ces hommes qui font de ce lieu en endroit d'exception!!!! Peur du consumérisme à foison qui défigurera ce lieu à tout jamais... Je comprends leurs inquiétudes et je leur apporte tout mon soutien pour pouvoir garder ce lieu paisible et hors des réseaux sociaux et autres canaux marketting qui dénaturent notre monde!!!! Full support to the children of teahupoo... Keep your spot wild!!!!

Tragic :( I swear it is my dream to see this paradise with my own eyes but I just could'nt go. I have too much respect for the simplicity of these people's lives. I hope the governement of Polynesia will be worthy of respect by avoiding the tragedy threatening their poeple. I beg pro surfer's community to wake up and protect the gift nature gives them to do what they love. Have a beautiful day, from brussels.

I went to Tahiti and Moorea for 3 weeks in September 2005 and my Tahitian hubby at time took me to Teahupoo and even on small 4-6 ft day the current was insane. The most magical place on earth such beauty and energy. I love this film as I've been huge fan of McKenna photography and to finally see the genius himself and his story is truly incredible. Thank you for sharing. ❤ ❤

Amaaaaazing doc guys ! Surfers should stand up and everybody says NO we are not surfing on the Olympics ... at least they should try to find a proper way compite and save the life and nature ...

Tel un vrai homme viril, j'ai complètement lâché ma larme. Magnifique reportage, d'un endroit magnifique, avec des gens magnifiques. Jeux Olympiques ou non, la nature doit rester la nature et rien ni personne n'a de droit sure Elle.

Great production! Great initiative! We want teauhpo as it is!

Beautiful ! Nicely shot. Great story. I only hope the commercialism of the Olympics does not ruin this surfing treasure for generations to come.

Excellent documentary ! Gilbert grom charges a true soul surfer

So good to see the locals enjoying their prized waters. My best wishes for the Olympic Games: may they bring you happiness, wealth, and new friends.

Fabuleux reportage ! Simple et magnifique. Sans artifices. Comme ce lieu.

Des images sublimes, des personnages à la fois simples et profonds, une musique en adéquation avec l’atmosphère mystique du lieu, un narratif qui ne fait pas dans le sensationnalisme.... une parenthèse enchantée, une bonne et belle claque. BRAVO et MERCI. P.s : en espérant que l’appât du gain et Instagram ne défigurent pas ce lieu à tout jamais

Sublime reportage , touchant et vrai . Merci Oxbow et take care boys

My tears fall for the children of Teahupo'o, they fall at the thought of what might be lost from this delicately balanced village ecosystem. I wish with my whole heart for the whole world that greed is replaced with a peaceful harmony with nature

Magnifique documentaire ! Merci Oxbow et tous ceux derrière les caméras et les ordinateurs pour ce film

One of the best documentaries......everr

Great little movie about the world's most outstanding wave and the beautiful people who live and surf there. I hope we can be sensible and not destroy the essence of that amazing place.

Thanks for this! Crazy how these local kids are ripping there... hope they will be able to for the next generations to come.

Absolutely stunning moving outstanding documentary - tone, editing, soundtrack… all wonderful. I have watched dozens of Teahupoo surf clips on KZread but your film really stands out on a different level doing the subject justice - huge respect. 👏👏

I really hope the Olympic Games wont change the soul of this magnificent place, makes me sad to see the sadness in Gilbert eyes, thats their paradise and true surfers

Rarement vu un docu aussi bien fait sur le surf et ARTE vous avez un sacre concurent la !

Oui et vous avez raison. Il faut absolument garder cette authenticité, c'est ce qui nous fait rêver nous les métropolitains fan de surf. Vous êtes le dernier rempart pour préserver ce qui nous fait tous vibrer : la nature, la vague, l'océan... Les JO oui mais dans le respect du lieu, des gens et de l'esprit !

super Beau, Super beauty-Full. May Jah protect TEAHUPO'O endlessly.

Fantastique reportage. Je vous souhaite de préserver ce paradis le plus longtemps possible et que l'authenticité et simplicité persiste. 🤙🏼🇵🇫

keep Teahupo'o as it is ! it's a beautifull documentary, and i really hope for them , that everything will be preserved after that, WE can't destroy that in any way. Oxbow you just made an exceptionnel video for sure

As modern surfing goes, Teahupoo was "discovered" by multiple time bodyboarding world champion, Mike Stewart, who used to surf Teahupoo by himself for many years. Mike originally called the break, " The End of the Road"

@@johnwinieski6499 Might want to check your facts before firing off such confident answers. Teahupo was surfed for the first time ever by two local surfers in 1985. Bodyboarders Mike Stewart and Ben Severson took it from there, and the fame and renown of " The End of the Road", or Teahupo grew from there

I really hope that olympics do not change the view and the environment in Teahupoo to preserve this spot and protect the local population. All the best to you guys over there. If one day i have the chance to visit this piece of paradise i will sleep like you and eat the milk and biscuits like Gilbert .

Magnifique, un des plus beau reportage sur le surf que j'ai vu jusqu'à présent. Bravo pour la realisation.

OMG .. beautiful movie!

Incredible and important work. Thank you for making and sharing this.

This truly touched my heart and made me love the place even more. Wow!❤️

beautiful - magnifique

Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know and my heartfelt hugs to you.

Beautiful!

Vraiment magnifique ce documentaire ! Vous avez filmé Teahupo'o à la perfection et surtout ceux qui font partie de son ADN. Il faudra tout faire pour conserver cela après les JO. J'ai peur du pire

Amazing video!❤ all the way from tiny island aruba

Beautiful

Very revealing documentary showcasing a potential huge problem for the gentle people of this little Tahitian village. I will go there next year and I hope I find the place is not ruined by the spot light of the 2024 Olympics. Lets hope I find these gentle water warriors living the same beautiful uncomplicated life Documentaire très révélateur mettant en lumière un énorme problème potentiel pour les gentils habitants de ce petit village tahitien. J'y retournerai l'année prochaine et j'espère que l'endroit ne sera pas gâché par les projecteurs des Jeux olympiques de 2024. Espérons que je trouverai ces doux guerriers de l'eau vivant la même belle vie simple.

Already excited to watch season 7. I’ll be thrilled to see a SOG on next round! Please use the same 15gl pots from this season showing if you would reamend or not and how! Keep you the good work for the community Jeremy!

The kids (and adults) are enjoying their environment as their people have always done for many millennia. It makes sense that when you live on an island you have to get comfortable with water.

Here for the algorithm, as everyone should watch this masterpiece.

Splendide que Teahupoo garde son authenticité après les JO 😍🙏🤙

Excellent

Superb 🌴🌊💚

Thanks for sharing your life at Teauhpo. It looks truly beautiful. I hope it stays the same for you if that is possible.❤❤

Un film perfecto, con un mensaje trágico. El dinero no debería de poderlo todo. Ojalá consigáis frenar el cambio devastador que os viene, salvar la situación como la ola de Teahupo’o os enseña a hacer cada vez que entráis en ella y conservar con cariño aquel pedacito de naturaleza que aún es respetado por sus locales.

Get the best surfers in the world to boycott it! Surfers rely on nature for what they love. Band together!

so sad to think that i dont no if i will could surf this whave once in my life

Using jet skis to get onto a wave is the same thing as taking a helicopter ride most of the way up Mount Everest.

It cost France $8.7 Billion (115% over) to host the summer games, and while broadcast money could match or exceed that, the IOC takes more than half of all the broadcast revenue, leaving taxpayers to pay the rest... There is no world in which the Olympics are beneficial to anyone other than corporations.

puro newen...mana...protejan la naturaleza de la industria del deporte.

❤❤❤

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Kids groing up in such a beautiful natural environment, it should be saved for them, and first of all to protect the Nature and sea life there! Humans try to get to every beautiful spot and destroy it!

tahurai tient un double jeu, il fait genre il est a fond dans le respect et la nature, mais passe on temps a faire l'influenceur pour promotionner la marque Teahupoo... Ce petit village du bout de la route est maintenant un carrefour international pour les routes du surf et du tourisme... cela attire tous les investisseurs, politiques et autres personnes avident d'argent... Il fallait resté discret... Le fruit est dans la pomme... Les traveaux ont déja changé le village... les maisons rbnb pousse de partout financer par ceux de la ville...gentrification en action... heuresement que y'a des taata comme lorenzo ou matai... Faatura te natura !

The surf are not the same anymore is a sport not a lifestyle like in 70,80,90 That is the reason I stop surfing is sad
