There was a good 2 day south swell in the water and forecast said Lowers, Trestles had some overhead waves. Drove up the coast for a late afternoon surfing session on this July day. Swell was really consistent with waves ranging from 5 – 8 foot faces. Lineup was packed as usual but it had a few standouts likes Crosby Colapinto, Victor Bernardo leading the pack. Then a crop of young guns such as Kyan Yang, Lucas Owston, and Rex Hennings all getting a lot of waves.

From May – September we are based in the Central Atolls of Maldives, hunting uncrowded waves and good times.

This month some of the world’s best surfers will travel to Tahiti, French Polynesia, to compete for Olympic gold on what is known as one of the heaviest waves in the world.

Located on the lush mountainous southwestern coast of Tahiti, Teahupo’o is often referred to as “the end of the road” in the surfing community.

The nickname is both literal and figurative: The wave is located where roads end on the island, but it is also considered a crown jewel in surfing destinations due to its remote location, unique properties and thrilling rides.

How the wave forms is considered a natural marvel: The pitch and shape of the barrels of water come from Southern Ocean swells that bend and race along a large, shallow reef.

The wave leaves from a sloped bottom, hurling toward the reef and breaking below sea level.

The left-handed waves are usually between 6 to 10 feet high but at times have exceeded 20 feet. The ride is short — lasting between 200 to 300 feet — but extremely fast and intense.

Because of this combination of factors, it’s considered a difficult wave to ride and has claimed the life of at least one surfer. In fact, the name of the wave loosely translates into English as “pile of skulls,” reminding even the world’s most seasoned surfers to proceed with caution.

During surfers’ heats, a judging panel scores each wave ride on a scale of 1 to 10 based on a combination of factors, including speed, maneuvers and degree of difficulty.

For each ride, the highest and lowest scores are discarded, with the surfer given the average of the three scores remaining.

Surfers are allowed to catch as many waves as they want in a heat, but wave selection can be crucial, especially given the unpredictable nature of the ocean.

Surfing from dawn ’til dusk. Enjoy this video from our first week in July (28 June-05 July 2024).
