Teahupoo is known for its incredible waves. The official ASP wave report has it breaking 700 metres out to sea and is known as “Chopes.” This hazaderous, left to right peeling reef-break features, bone-crushing barrels accessible only via a very-vertical takeoff. Once standing upright all surfers need to do is survive being spat out of the tube 50 metres later and then avoid the teeth of the razor sharp reef which sits high and dry directly in front of the wave.
