Teahupo’o: Inside the Monster

Inside the Monster is a 25-minute documentary (in French w/ English subtitles) on Teahupo’o, a Tahitian locale known for its spectacular waves.

Crazy the way those waves rise out of almost nowhere. My favorite photo of Teahupo’o is this one (view larger):

All that water hanging out 14 feet higher than it should be….it ain’t natural!
