Tahiti's world-famous surf break, Teahupoo (Cho-Poo), swelled to epic proportions.
Known as the heaviest wave in the world, when Teahupoo gets revved up to full power, it's an awesome sight. Can't even imagine trying to surf it..
What makes Teahupoo so beefy? When big ocean swells hit the steep, uplifted coastline of Tahiti Iti, their mass is pushed up and folded into mountainous, perfectly formed surf breaks.
"The name Teahupoo translates in English to 'broken skulls,' so it’s predictably hardcore.
