Virtual Eye: Outerknown Tahiti Pro - This Is Why Teahupo'o Is The Most Critical Wave On Tour

Teahupo'o is arguably one of the heaviest waves on earth. Translated as “wall of skulls”, surfers ride below sea level over a shallow reef shelf before getting spit out into the channel. Watch as Joe Turpel breaks down the mechanics of the iconic wave. The most critical wave in the world is now somehow more extreme than ever. Added to the mutant barrels, committed drops, and razor-sharp reef is the fact that Teahupo’o serves as the last fight for the WSL Final 5. The women get their first shot at the famed barrel in 16 years and the world’s best surfers get one last chance to lay it all on the line for a spot in the Rip Curl WSL Finals. #wsl Subscribe to the WSL for more action: https://goo.gl/VllRuj Watch all the latest surfing action of the world's best surfers in the world's best waves.
