We here at Gul have been awaiting the 'WCT Pro Teahupoo' in Tahiti!! As our sweep stake of the top 44 gets more competitive so I am sure does the actual competition!
The comp started on the 23rd but they hve experienced 2 lay days, waiting for a BIG classic Teahupoo swell. Be sure to catch it via webcast, they give the shout to start or not at 6:30pm our time!
Oh Yea..........
And did we mention Round 1 heat #10 Kelly Slater vs Andy Irons!!!! Does it get any better out there?!
And the wave:
Teahupoo breaks in the same spot no matter how big it gets. It's a heavy short lefthander and gives you the rush of facing death and surviving. It's probably best surfed at around six to eight feet. Any bigger than that and it really lives up to its title as the heaviest wave in the world.
The easiest entry into a Teahupoo barrel is going deep. It lets you in , well sometimes, but if you miss you are kissing coral.
TEAHUPOO MEANS 'BROKEN SKULLS'......fancy it?
