    I went to Tahiti and Moorea for 3 weeks in September 2005 and my Tahitian hubby at time took me to Teahupoo and even on small 4-6 ft day the current was insane. The most magical place on earth such beauty and energy. I love this film as I've been huge fan of McKenna photography and to finally see the genius himself and his story is truly incredible. Thank you for sharing. ❤ ❤

    Absolutely stunning moving outstanding documentary - tone, editing, soundtrack… all wonderful. I have watched dozens of Teahupoo surf clips on UA-cam but your film really stands out on a different level doing the subject justice - huge respect. 👏👏

    Tragic :( I swear it is my dream to see this paradise with my own eyes but I just could'nt go. I have too much respect for the simplicity of these people's lives. I hope the governement of Polynesia will be worthy of respect by avoiding the tragedy threatening their poeple. I beg pro surfer's community to wake up and protect the gift nature gives them to do what they love. Have a beautiful day, from brussels.

      Well said! And why surfing in the Olympics in the first place?! Might be just me, but some 'sports' are simply sports... they're about athleticism... you can compete in those.... there's no real soul.... it's just about performance. Surfing is nothing like that. It might be the most 'in the moment experience' a human can have on earth. Connecting to the ocean in that way partly magic... it's beautiful! The thought of Olympic money and competition in that frame is entirely out of place!

    So so so sad. Happened in so many places and always new places get destroyed. They convince the local people that this business will bring money, wellfare, jobs for their children. Then foreign investors and speculators will buy their lands and properties for what seems good money for the poorer locals. Then prices of land and properties will rocket high up, living right their will become too expensive for the locals, jobs will go to people that for too low salaries spend a season or some and the place just becomes a business of outsiders, the money goes to other countries where the investors reside and locals will have lost their paradise, money and jobs, and most of all, the land they could live on without all this business.

Je suis sur que cette île a beaucoup de valeur a partager. J'espère de tout cœur que le lieu ne sera pas d'avantage dégradé maintenant que les JO sont passés, j'ai vue la tour de juge qu'ils ont construit mais pas tout les bâtiments qu'ils ont pu rajouter dans le village, vouloir facilité l'accès aux touristes ne rime a rien si c'est pour dégrader cette merveille du monde.

    Such a beautiful contribution to Teahupo'o, Tahiti and its people. So sad to see that the globalisation and the capitalistic endeavours are going to reach and destroy this piece of paradise.
    The last part of this documentary was quite heartbreaking to me. My heart is with Tahitian people and their land. May it stay forever in their hands. Don't sell your land. The money won't buy you the air, the ocean nor the fish. It's just not worth to loose your own dignity, culture and land for money which won't make you happier nor richer. The pro surfers should also contribute here and fight against the imposed rules of the Olympics, which led to construction of new facilities and the following destruction of good parts of the reef. I had tears in my eyes watching this last part of the documentary. In my opinion pro surfers who really care about the environment (and especially local ones) shouldn't compete out of protest. Please protect this piece of paradise.

      It's the best barrel in the world. And it's a French territory. Why not showcase Olympic surfing at the best barrel in the world?

      There was a major opposition by locals when a new tower for the Olympics was proposed. It was disregarded and built.

      Why don't they do it in a wave pool? At least the wave is always the same for everyone!

    I’m 63 and have surfed most of my life. I lost a leg a few years ago from a battle with a bone infection. I am finally getting a surf foot for my Prosthesis that will allow me to return to surfing. 🏄‍♂️ My serious concern for the people of the Indo islands, is these wealthy people will turn it into another Hawaiian islands, that the natives will be forced away from the life they have ever known. THIS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT. Support Teahupo’o, buy boards for the people and children, and can someone set a fund to support this village?
