MASSIVE Waves in Tahiti | Red Bull Surfing x Surfline 20ft +
Спорт
Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere is when swell trains wake from their summer slumber and start to roll out of the Southern Ocean. According to Surfline guru Nick Carroll, this body of water is "the world’s greatest swell machine". Building up steam and whipped by strong winds these southern swells don’t stop until they hit land, or in the case of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, a shallow reef shelf that rears rapidly from a deep seafloor, creating some of the world’s wildest waves in the process.
As if on cue, in the last weekend of April 2023, Teahupo’o received its first serious serving of swell for the year. The world’s big wave fraternity, who have been forced to live life like regular civilians these past few months as the Atlantic and the North Pacific seasons have slowly simmered down, came from all corners to spill out of Faa’a International Airport in Papeete and and join the convoy down to a small fishing village at the end of the road on the southern tip of Tahiti’s biggest island, Teahupo’o.
While Surfline predicted the enormous swell that hit on Sunday April 29, nobody could have forecast what else was to unfold over the following 48 hours beyond the usual suspects - Kai Lenny, Lucas Chumbo, Matahi Drollet - doing their usual thing. Summa Longbottom and Annie Dos Santos upped the ante and took the female big wave game to new heights, Eimeo Czermak and Tucker Wooding broke the internet with a hall of fame drone clip that needs to be seen to be believed, and paddle and tow surfers co-existed in the same lineup like we’ve never before. Sadly, Teahupo’o also flooded in the aftermath, and once you enjoy the clip above we hope you will contribute to the various appeals that are aiming to give back to a Tahitian town that has given surfing so much, in its greatest hour of need.
Help with Teahupo’o recovery efforts:

485 Ассалому алайкум спасибо за новый видео 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
lol at the guy ragdolling @4:35
Sooo cool! Im here because of the movie surfs up lol
Great vid
Love to watch surfing, am a bondy surfer at Bondi in the 70s and 80s, surf was perfect. I loved watching the board surfers over the coast of NSW. Now I live in Dubai, catchy a dippy wave occasionally but the best is watching big surfers and listening to Bruce Springsteen, it works for me - life is a dream.
Good video.
I love it
0:49 this guy was launched lmao
amazing!!!!!!!!!
Wow que nivel 🙌👏
'Tow surfers and paddlers can share the line up' What a cooked thing to say. You're not gonna paddle a bomb if you see a ski flying at you.
That must be so fun
surfs up brahhhhssss🤙
I would love to see this in 4k
Nice video.
I wonder if Dutch and Morgan are in the crowd
4:34 shot out of a canon ;)
This led to tornado sensors, navigating torpedoes, black hole anti gravity bubbles. Surfs black hole back in time..
4:30 did a whale just flick its tail into that guy lol
I’m sure RedBull is helping with recovery, right?🏄♀️
kemper burning locals...
RIP Dane Kealoha ,
they could have forecast the flash flood
those double barrels are sketchy!
Why surfers always say "I'm STOKED", "Super STOKED". What is Stoke?

It's just slang for excited isn't it. In UK we don't say it but I get what it means

Not tow worthy
