If you are a big wave surfer probably on your wish list, if you have not already done so, there is surfing the Teahupo’o wave.
Even if in this period the trips are limited, we can still write down the next ones that we will do as soon as the travels will be allowed again. So why not think of this wave which is the symbol of surfers?
In the islands of the south Pacific Ocean nature has been generous, the scenario that is outlined is fabulous: a landscape of enchanting colors, the light that makes a lush jungle shine close to the ocean, the crystalline water that outlines bays and lagoons, not to mention the colors when you dive and meet the coral reef. The ideal of paradise is undoubtedly at home here. The village of Teahupo’o is located in the south part of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia and it is a worlwide famous surf spot known to all lovers of adventures among the waves.

Not waves for all, but only for pro and experienced surfers able to tame a giant and scary wave because Teahupo’o, a left hand reef break, is one of the most dangerous. The strength of the power of the mass of water combined to the coral reef can be complicated even for those who are experienced in surfing.
The best conditions to ride Teahupo’s is from April to October, when the swell comes from south and the wind blows from the north or north-east. An explosive combination that generates this simply perfect wave in its immensity.
