Teahupoo Surfing Contest

By fluke we were in Tahiti for a big international surf competition. Even flukier we watched the final from a little boat - we got really close. This competition is tough as the wave breaks onto a razor sharp coral reef- mess up and you pay. Can't remember the name of the guy who won - but it wasn't Kelly Slater.

Luckily when we were watching, the wave wasn't at it's biggest - here's a movie of what it can do.
