“I Told My Filmer Everything Was Going To Be Alright”

Teahupo’o carnage has no boundaries

All guts and glory

Last month, surfers traveling to Teahupo’o frolicked in face of infinite carnage and glory. The below sea-level kegs victimized people, ski, and boat. 

Nic Von Rupp recalled, “The locals were dominating, which meant haoles like us had to scrap for the impossible ones.” 

The game of cat and mouse was going according to plan, until his boat, too far on the inside, smacked a thicc Tahitian lip.

“I promised my filmer everything was going to be alright.” Nic Von Rupp said, “But then I went back to the boat and he’s nowhere to be found.” 

The filmer abandoned the ship, taking a dip in the Tahitian teal for cover— he emerged unscathed, and blessed us with a series of yummy carnage clips. 

Indulge in this 5:44 edit to watch hellions like Russel Bierke fall from the heavens into the dark underbelly of Teahupo’o. The clips are wipeout porn at its finest, we thank the mad parties involved.
