Teahupo’o is synonymous with fearsome waves and jaw-dropping surf. Situated off the coast of Tahiti, this surf spot is home to some of the heaviest and thickest waves in the world. The water’s sheer volume and weight make each wave a challenge even for the most experienced surfers. The unique reef formation creates an almost vertical drop, producing hollow waves that have earned it the nickname "the heaviest wave in the world." While Teahupo’o offers a visual spectacle like no other, it’s also incredibly dangerous. The razor-sharp coral reef lies just beneath the surface, making it critical for surfers to ride with precision and skill. This spot has become a bucket-list destination for big wave surfers and has hosted countless surf competitions, including the World Surf League events.
