Mateia Hiquily, yesterday at Teahupoo, Tahiti

“Teahupoo was sick yesterday,” says photographer Chris Gurney, who’s currently there with a small team, the fruits of which you’ll see on Stab in good time. “A little slow and windy at times, but plenty of barrels and some big bombs that kept everyone on their toes. Here’s Mateia Hiquily enjoying a mid sized drainer. Mateia was one of the standouts of this late season session, alongside fellow Tahitian super-grom Matahi Drollet.”
