RAW is the best - Teahupo'o

My mind is blown, possibly the best surfing footage I've ever watched. Can't believe how much better RAW is over video edits. Insane carnage throughout or skip to 27:40 for Koa's MADNESS! Incomprehensible stuff.

That is a heavy wave right there. I couldn't imagine getting closed out on like Koa did. I'd shit myself.

..... except for all the boat blockage of the view. Still, amazing footage.

But then it is the most photogenic break on the planet! :o

That didn't even look real. Hard to believe getting eaten like that is survivable. Riou's at 29:52 is almost as big and he makes it.
