When I saw the title, I immediately hooked up my laptop to my stereo system. Disappointed really. It would be great if a drone could somehow do some really high-fidelity recordings of the waves while the surfers are surfing them.

I'd rather hear the roar of the ocean and the voices from the crowd than lame music. It's much more exciting to hear what's happening out there. Great video!

Imagine this break before it became a circus?

It wasn't supposed to have music the wave sound could probably be amplified 100 x to get the feeling of actually being there-love it.

@wavesmag no problem

ia ora na mauruuru roa for the vid, nice to hear the real sounds :) but i am actually looking for a good soundclip (without music or tourists) of teahupoo but am happy with the bit 1.52/1.54 for now ;) na na

If i could become invincible, the first thing i would do would be surf chopes.

WRAAAAAWRRRRRR 1:51

I thought it was against the law to post any YT videos without some kind of music and a surf vid without it is unheard of. Also all Gopro videos must be in ultra slow motion and never ever shown full speed.

What this video could have used was a good 3D binaural microphone on that boat.

even the smallest section could mean life or death

there rally is nothing like in the intire world ... this is the most scary shit i can imagine ! If Dante knew this , his hell would be a lot like this wave !

Such an Awesome piece of Nature and Wave. Hey, Surf Rider and surfing community. Has anyone done a study yet of the local sea life in the area since all of these fuel powered watercraft have been all over the pristine piece of Nature, now that is has been over a decade of doing it? I know, its fun to be rich and just surf and travel, but there is the ecological thing, ya know. 🤔

who is that at the 0:48 minute mark?

legit worst place to get a wipeout

Cant really hear anything.

That was so lame. I can hear boats, sea doos and people yelling any time. Very misleading title.

Sounds like shit. Engine's and screaming. Big deal.
