A GoPro Breakdown of Chopes

So, we have a layday – the swell didn’t land quite as soon as expected – but the excitement continues to grow. And here’s a little extra kindling: Above, Michel Bourez, the only Tahitian on the world tour, breaks down Teahupoo through the lens of a GoPro. It’s a real nice insider’s perspective of the break that’s gonna erupt tomorrow, through the eyes of a local. And then below, one of the scariest jobs in surfing: Tahiti’s Water Patrol. Hat’s off to these gents.
