Teahupo'o

[--->>405<<---]

dont know if any of yall are surfing enthusiasts, but i stumbled on this footage while surfing (pardon the pun haha) around on youtube and this spot looked pretty serious to me.

after reading a bit about the location on wikipedia i realized it was also the site of a monumental day in surfing history.

Balls of steel! I used to surf, and I will tell you that a 6 foot wave can rattle you if you eat it.
Couldnt imagine what a 40 Foot wave would feel like. Plus a lot of those big waves are caused by very shallow water. So in a lot of places it is onlt 4-10 feet deep.
Bad Ass!
