Teahupoo… as legendary as it is terrifying, and legendary largely for being terrifying. From time to time, when the conditions are right, it steamrolls through, making and breaking lives the same. As fast as they come, the waves leave again. Only memories of that massive wall of water stay. And for awhile, that was all we had to go by. Lore as told through stories by the brave few who made their way to the break.
That is until cameras began documenting the swells. Now, we all witness the ground-shaking wake, however vicariously we do. These glimpses provide us with a clarity we would otherwise never know — surfers and non-surfers alike
From Greg Huglin and MySurf.tv, we get another “moment of clarity” as Mark Mathews experiences a howling range of emotions in a titanic Teahupoo tube.
