Ooooowweeeeeee, Monday May 13, and Tuesday 14, were another wild coupla days in the history of Teahupoo. The first major swell of the season is always heavily chased (and documented), and the last two days saw the world’s best big wave gents do their thing in the biggest swell since Code Red back in August 2012. Mark Healey ruled (check his wild paddlers in here) and Koa Rothman and Raimana Van Bastolaer rode the biggest waves of the first day. Also featured here is Mikey Wright, Pete Mel, Kealli Mamalli, Landon McNamara (yup, son of Liam), Alain Riou, Wade Goodall, Laurie Towner and more.

And below, the footage from yesterday. Who doesn’t love a hasty turnaround? Bravo, Quiksilver.
