Teahupoo

A tremendous wave that demands respect, which can only come from experience. Only those who have it, either at this spot or elsewhere, will appreciate what this wave can offer.

Atmosphere:
From April to September it is crowded on the weekends and when the wind is right it gets crowded during the week also; we can thank Gotcha and Surfer Magazines for that!

Additional Info:
Surfed by locals, this wave was revealed to the world surfing community in 1997. Truely awesome, bigger, more hollow, and more dangerous than Pipeline: get the picture? Surf here at your own risk. At the take off : do NOT hesitate, *go* or stay in the channel.

It's at "The End Of The Road" on the Tahiti south road (and then a long paddle out to the reef!).
