WSL Tahiti Pro, Teahupo’o
in a few days, the next event on the Championship Tour calendar starts at the notorious Teahupo’o surf break, Tahiti, which consequently means ‘the end of the road’ in Tahitian.
This picturesque surf break on its day, is the premier Left Hander in the World, giving surfers amazing, and often huge barrelling waves, over a very shallow and razor sharp reef.
Interestingly, there have been 17 perfect ‘10’s - out of a maximum 10, in the modern day competition.
And out of these 17 perfect 10’s, Kelly Slater has the most, and is the only surfer in this upcoming Tahitian Pro, who has got a perfect 10 - actually he got 2 x perfect 10’s and has won the event 5 times, probably giving him a very good position of taking the event out for a 6th time.
Hopefully, the surf gods produce clean, perfect conditions for this fantastic competition.
Bring it on!
