Totally looks like a shot of teahupoo in tahiti--yes, it's real :-)
(the name means something like "skull crusher", for good reasons)

I love the way the water changes color as it forms the wave and the light starts to shine through it from behind -
That,and you KNOW you're an amazing surfer when some crew with a helicopter shows up to film what you are doing.
One of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. YouTube is pretty amazing when you think of what's there... |

All those links are exactly why I want to go to all those places and shoot. And why I got on a surfboard a few weeks ago. Didnt surf but I paddled and got the feel of the board.. next step baby wave.. eventually.. a tube if i'm good enough .. ~twirls~
I'm dying to get out to Teahupoo to shoot the competition.. if anyone has any tips, connections.. or also wants to go sometime.. I'm yer girl!!! |

Here's an illustration of how the wave forms. There's no other wave like it on the planet...
Teahupoo

Apparently... for anyone who isn't aware, if you right-click and go copy link location in firefox, and paste into your address bar it works. |
