Perfect Teahupo’o pittage…

Perfect Teahupo’o pittage…

 

When Hawaiian charger Tyler Newton checked the South Pacific swell charts and saw a massive swell heading towards Teahupo’o, one of his favourite waves, he hoped on the next plane to Tahiti. What ensued was a couple of days of near perfection at one of the world’s best barrels. Other surfers, like Raimana Van Bastolaer, Matahi Drollet, Mihimana Braya, and Makai McNamara, caught some truly memorable waves. Relieve one of the best sessions of the year (so far) at Tahiti’s Teahupo’o.

The Worst Wipeouts Ever

So the saying goes, no pain, no gain. With that in mind, let's doff our hats and salute those hell men and women who push the limits of surfing. Because without them throwing themselves over some serious ledges we wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of surfing. We also wouldn't have this edit, and let's be honest, there's something very primeval about watching someone getting a tad very ouchy.

Surfers of Lofoten
The Lofoten Islands are a popular travel destination for many surfers. Mick Fanning has been there, Chris Burkard the same. But for some people Lofoten is the normal life, the closest wave, just the home break, the every day life. Surfers of Lofoten is a web series about the local surf heroes of Lofoten Islands. The ones that live there chasing the arctic swell in cold water.

The First Addicts
Lofoten and Unstad has become a well known surf place, and a bucket list destination thanks to it’s unique scenery, cold water and good waves. But how did surfing in the arctic really start? And how does the increasing tourism and crowds impacts the surf community?
