The Heaviest Wave In The World...

- In this video I go over surfing the heaviest wave in the world (Teahupo'o). Many people assume the heaviest waves are the biggest but teahupo'os mass is greater than all Waimea Bay , Jaws , Mavericks. Only the best riders are able to ride this wave like Larid Hamilton , Mike stewart, Koa Rothman, Nathan flornece, Raimana Van Bastolaer , and Vetea Poto David.

#surfing #surfer #bigwaves - บันเทิง
I surf for 42 years now and since the "beggining" that i love Big Waves.
Iam Portuguese,and iam very lucky for living in a country where waves of all sizes are in plenty supply.
Its obvious that i know Nazaré but way before it became "Famous",in the time where Jet Ski's didin't "exist" over there and "we" had to stay seated on the Lighthouse watching those "Monsters" breaking.
Like i said i love Big Surf,and along the years by my profession or in holidays ive been all over the World,and specialy where Big Waves are "present".
In 2016 i was blessed with a a very special gifgt from my Gorgeous Daughters,a 7 days trip to Tahiti to see Teahupoo on the first person,not with the intentions to surf it.
Like i Said ive been around,on every Big Waves hot spots on the Planet,and as a Big Wave Lover there are only 2 waves that Scare the Shit out of me, Nazaré for the sheer Size, Power and location of those Humongous waves,and Teahupoo for the sheer Fear Factor of that place. Looks like that all the water in the ocean converge to that place while "sucking" the water on is Path exposing that Terrifying sight that is the coral reef. Its so Easy to Die Over there,that while there on a boat in the channel i was constantly with shivers through my spine just by watching those waves,and some surfers being completely Trashed like rag dolls.
I love Big Waves but i know my limits,and love my life and Family.
Excellent explanation of the formation of this exquisite wave. The bravery and skill of these professional surfers are just amazing!! Thank you!
A big thannks for the breakdown and contouring.
Superb, ive wondered for YEARS.
I think The Right in Western Australia would give Chopes a run for its money as the heaviest wave on a huge day.
No shit! Some of the vids of The Right you can see a dry rock reef that guys need to maneuver around plus, the hold downs are far worse that Chopes.
@@jasonjackson5696 My comment was in response to the poster of the video champ disagreeing with his title , so why post a dick answer at me.
Agreed. Would love to see a look at it
Isn't cyclopes the wave mark Mathews swore to never return for fear of death ?
@@darylwilson1915 They are both equally as dangerous as each other twins I would call them rhats only my opinion I would never surf them I enjoy watching others become burley when they wipe out on the reef.
Great Video Mate one of the best Surfinng Channels that has Engaging Amazing Content
Thanks for the feedback , that’s the goal
Well timed with the swell there this week👀 your videos are fire
This was so cool dude! Thank you!
great video... no human should ever be in this water... warriors!
as an inlander Canadian who has only gotten to try surfing a couple times, unfortunately, this wave always struck me as the scariest wave just by being so thicc. incredibly beautiful though.
Sick video man, subbed!
Hahaha! “Are you ready to ride this (wave)?” …. “NO.”
Too funny! Great narrative & education of the mechanics of this phenomenal wave!
GREAT informative video!
Mahalo
I body surf my home Redondo Bech. Ca, Went to Kauai HI, and got a taste of thick waves. Very powerful and decided it was not for me and got out. I was 13.
Good job, I learned a few new thing about this wave. Somebody did some deep research and that is much appreciated....
Great insights into surfing subscribed
Great vid
the excellent book, Barbarian Days, has a telling of finding and surfing this wave, but keeping it secret, because of resect for the unspoiled rural culture that used to be there because it was so remote.
I saw a photograph of this wave taken from the top of the suck & it looked like a sheer cliff- the ocean was flat & blue while the sucking pulled the water into a vertical face. I’ve never seen anything like it. Beautifully dangerous!
Nice 🙏 Please do Shipsterns in Tasmania. Now that's heavy...🌊
Watching Kai Lenny ride Teahupo flying around doing backflips was nuts. I recommend that one for those interested.
That wave is scary good!
This surfing is on a WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL, which few can accomplish
The Olympic Wave 2024 ? Sounds interesting.
I'm definitely going to pass on The Wall Of Skulls Great breakdown my friend Be well and Thanks for sharing 👍🤙
Outstanding job love this 🌊 magical waves, lands & incredible how we can enjoy this wicked shit. Jeez life is amazing
That Olympics platform and Tahitian government's promotion with ASP are death to these locals. Most will be pushed aside, relocated, cheated in R.E. deals or simply lose their cheap housing as big $'s change hands to build luxury resorts and chain restaurants.
Tourism is the biggest false-economy fraud out there. Locals always lose...
and we who are affected are supposed to be grateful to the tourists coming and spending their money and "allowing us to make a living."
Nice video And save Teahupoo 🤲🏽
I would love to see film footage of there from there in the early 1900s , that would be cool.
Bro you gotta do Portugal , amazing surf spots out here !
It's good!! TAHITI island🔥
Super sucky and powerful. The blow out is insane..
"Cho-Pu"
Now do The Right in South Western Australia. Arguably as heavy.
2:37 What can we do to help stop the building of the new tower which would damage the reef and ecosystem?
I just wanted to bring awareness that’s all unfortunately it will likely still happen but it was in respect of the teahupo’o locals as I’m from the poly islands myself and understand.
That's scary. If you get sucked into that wave, you could be rolling around for several minutes. 🌊
good shit
I can only imagine the sound of those waves crashing
Before I’m dead I have to go see this wave up close
Seeing Matahi in the barrel of this wave, hands clasped calmly in front of him might be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in surfing.
Teahupoo never fails to blow my mind since the first time I ever laid eyes on the huge, heavy, glassy monster.
I’ve surfed everything Hawaii has to offer and I’ve been scared, but still willing to go.
Not this wave. This wave creeps me out. I’m too old anyways now.
This wave has given me nightmares.
Some grom nicked my flops at Fa'a back in da day
@@johnmartlewHaiden ya thieving mongrel
Why does it still look like they were just charging so much harder in the 90s. My childhood relived
How do people actually survive this wave!? The shallow depth of water being sucked off the reef is insane!
7:05 brutal wipeout.
its a heavy wave, for sure, but there's heavier off the southern coast of aussy land. but all are the same set up, deep ocean hitting a dry reef. thick. unpredictable waves they are as likely to explode as they are to be perfect. i've heard stories of fins whistling across the reef because it got so dry
im now 15 and about a year ago i started surfing, im not really good at it i want to surf more but i live in the netherlands so i dont have really have the chance to practice surfing, sometimes im sad i grew up with iphones and playstations and not with surfing, eventhoug i grew up woth ipads i always liked surfers, just out on the waves free, im jalous at everyone who grew up like that
No siempre pero aveces llegó y tengo otras informaciones
Shipsterns Bluff.
Swell Models are easier to understand using the Gleason Projection… I used to always find myself so perplexed with New Zealand and the Deep South Antarctic swells- AND, how/when they would hit SoCal.. Watching The Deep water buoy’s and Looking at Standard Globe Maps never worked.. One day, During-clear/dry Santa Ana conditions I saw islands That were not possible to see from my Vantage point(in the Water)NewportBeach Ca... And I saw them Clearly.. I’m sure Many have seen such Things..
there is No Curve..It’s Flat Folks.(And That’s coming from a Duke University student of Astro Physics..🤙🏻).
The deception is vast and real.
Shipsterns bluff
You fellers aint bern down here in Texas and sen the tanker ship swells
Massive rollers
ever heard of a place in portugal called NAZARE
Thanks, great footage. Pretty sure it's pronounced 'CHO-poo'.
On behalf of us nonaficionados : just what exactly are the dangers of wiping-out ? Being held under too long ? Being smashed into reefs or other underwater obstructions ? A broken neck ? Being t-boned by a flying surf board , be it yours or someone else's ? Getting the air violently pumped out of your lungs ? Being knocked-out and therefore drowning ? Perhaps someone(s) could rank the likelihood of any of the aforementioned actually happening. A surfer once told me they got the scare of a lifetime when after wiping-out , an underwater current of some sort held them down so long they almost drowned !?! CREEPY !!!
in aussie we call this wave 'chopes'
yes yes yes
Big chopes scares the shit out of me. Surf it? Hell no it's only meant for the worthy
Dunno man. The right and cyclops are pretty gnarly.
Coming soon 👀
That wave is one mean turkey
❤ by❤ ALWAYS .. to 😮 ALL😱
1:50 : "...the Tahitian gouvernment..." ??
Surf it a few times it lovely but ya won’t see me out when it’s 13 feet
The Right heavier. way heavier.
Nazare winter storm wave is the heaviest wave in the world
1 cubic metre of water weighs 1 ton. On big days a surfer would have 30 / 50 / 100 tons of water smashing them into the reef.. why are there so few injuries and deaths?
The right, cyclops, the bombie, shipsterns...
Cloudbreak. The End.
When I saw Niccolo Porcella wipe out my first words out louad OH F_ _ K !!
Teahoopoo não é surf, é outro esporte muito mais punk!
Heavier than nazare ?
Yes, this monster breaks in 1 meter of water, Nazare if you wipe out, it’s sending you deep where you can pull your flotation vest to get to the surface, there is nothing that will save you at Teahupo! Same amount of water moving at each spot, just doing different things 🤙🏼
THANK YOU FOR PRONOUNCING IT CORRECTLY!!!!!!!! Stupid jackasses say 'CHO PU'!!!!!!!!!
For this , U earned my SUB and thumbs up!!!!!!!!!
Plus your presentation and vid is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More please!!!!
Oh, the stories I could tell U and the listeners/readers
CHEERS to you and all good people
Yes sorry the o’o can’t get pronounced through the mic and I’m Tahitian so I should know better
@@Yewsurf No sir, no apology necessary!!
cheers
Surfer mag said it was pronounced differently that the narrator says it.
🤙🌈
Script made my Chatgpt
Essa onda é uma máquina de triturar surfistas.
The heaviest wave is not the correct description. Waves transmit energy. Work & Energy are equivalent & both measured in Joule. Power, by definition is the time rate of doing work. So if the wave on breaking dissipates that wave energy through turbulence over a smaller time then it is more powerful. P=Energy/Time; so keep the numerator constant for comparison. The waves transmit the same amount of energy on breaking but because the energy dissipation is done over a smaller time period, the denominator is smaller then it must be more powerful. The bottom gradient determines how powerful the wave will break. The steeper the bottom the more powerful is the breaking wave.
Ask how to pronounce it next time please
Next wave is pimpline in Hawaii
Uck that
how ignurt
Real surfers don't need jetski to take waves
Cho-poo
Cho poo
its not pronounced tea oh poo its pronounced cho poo
You need pronounce the name right sir!!
Sorry partially my mic blocking out the o’o but Chopu is the nickname
Nah. Not as heavy as the wave at Nazare.
Thats a ridiculous comment.Chopes and Peahi are heavier than Nazare.
@@HiloBoiz808 tell me than: how much.
get a better mic
It's from like 2006
Great Vid, but i find the narration boring, mundane, monotonous & mono toned
Is that the world's most boring voice?
Are you the world's most lame commenter?
Gave up watching this as I can barely understand the narrator.
Enable sub-titles 🤷♂️
Laird is such a massive goober
