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!
I really hope the Olympic Games wont change the soul of this magnificent place, makes me sad to see the sadness in Gilbert eyes, thats their paradise and true surfers
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.
This is yet another reason i keep telling people we should aim for a world without money. If we can make it through climate change, we might be able to do it. Our biggest challenge, like with climate change as well, is our global mostly unwilling attitude.
Finalmente lo cierto es que " el turismo " resulta ser un depredador . Los gobiernos ,si en verdad aman su tierra y su población , no deberian permitir que sean los forasteros quienes compren y manipulen su pueblo
@@beefquiche bien cierto ! Sabiendo como ya se sabe , lo que finalmente sucede , a dia de hoy en 2024 debería existir un tope un límite de cuán rico puede ser una persona. Porque una persona demesuradamente rica , se emborracha de poder y pierde el norte , pierde todo contacto con lo natural de la existencia y se convierten en depredadores de la tierra
Les JO où le cadeau le plus empoisonné qui soit... J'aurais tellement peur à la place de ces hommes qui font de ce lieu en endroit d'exception!!!! Peur du consumérisme à foison qui défigurera ce lieu à tout jamais... Je comprends leurs inquiétudes et je leur apporte tout mon soutien pour pouvoir garder ce lieu paisible et hors des réseaux sociaux et autres canaux marketting qui dénaturent notre monde!!!! Full support to the children of teahupoo... Keep your spot wild!!!!
keep Teahupo'o as it is ! it's a beautifull documentary, and i really hope for them , that everything will be preserved after that, WE can't destroy that in any way. Oxbow you just made an exceptionnel video for sure
Tel un vrai homme viril, j'ai complètement lâché ma larme. Magnifique reportage, d'un endroit magnifique, avec des gens magnifiques. Jeux Olympiques ou non, la nature doit rester la nature et rien ni personne n'a de droit sure Elle.
Des images sublimes, des personnages à la fois simples et profonds, une musique en adéquation avec l’atmosphère mystique du lieu, un narratif qui ne fait pas dans le sensationnalisme.... une parenthèse enchantée, une bonne et belle claque. BRAVO et MERCI. P.s : en espérant que l’appât du gain et Instagram ne défigurent pas ce lieu à tout jamais
My tears fall for the children of Teahupo'o, they fall at the thought of what might be lost from this delicately balanced village ecosystem. I wish with my whole heart for the whole world that greed is replaced with a peaceful harmony with nature
Great little movie about the world's most outstanding wave and the beautiful people who live and surf there. I hope we can be sensible and not destroy the essence of that amazing place.
je ne trouve pas les mots pour dire à quel point j'ai aimé ce documentaire. Bravo à toi Paul, j'ai vraiment été émerveillé par les images et les témoignages que tu a montré.😍😍
Magnifique reportage, un exceptionnel court métrage sur Teahupoo et ses bienfaits. Merci aux intervenants qui ont su nous partager leur amour de la mer et de Teahupoo.
I just cried at the end of the film. I'm from Tenerife (Canary Islands). We are fighting to conserve our enviroment. Almost everything is concrete. Bye waves, bye everything. Hope best for you. Keep fighting!!!

Vraiment magnifique ce documentaire ! Vous avez filmé Teahupo'o à la perfection et surtout ceux qui font partie de son ADN. Il faudra tout faire pour conserver cela après les JO. J'ai peur du pire
Ce court métrage prend le cœur ! C’est vraiment super bien écrit et super bien monté, un bravo à tout ceux qui on taffer dessus c’est vraiment de belles images, de belles rencontres et de super histoire que l’on fait à travers ce court métrage ! Le but était de sensibiliser et c’est gagner bien jouer !
Un film perfecto, con un mensaje trágico. El dinero no debería de poderlo todo. Ojalá consigáis frenar el cambio devastador que os viene, salvar la situación como la ola de Teahupo’o os enseña a hacer cada vez que entráis en ella y conservar con cariño aquel pedacito de naturaleza que aún es respetado por sus locales.
The power of precious nature creating such intense and most mind blowing waves, man, just looking at these waves in videos makes for me to realize the splendor and the perfection. Oh Like how can anything like a wave be possible, how is nature so incredible
I really hope that olympics do not change the view and the environment in Teahupoo to preserve this spot and protect the local population. All the best to you guys over there. If one day i have the chance to visit this piece of paradise i will sleep like you and eat the milk and biscuits like Gilbert .
what a beautiful short movie, I could watch it for 2 more hours, thank you. Really tragic ..same thing happened in front of my eyes in Indonesia at one of my favourite wave. The nature is getting destroyed little by little, investors buying houses who could not care less about surfing and the environment. Sadly this is happening everywhere as surfing is growing in its popularity. Sending love to the people in Teahupo`o .
As modern surfing goes, Teahupoo was "discovered" by multiple time bodyboarding world champion, Mike Stewart, who used to surf Teahupoo by himself for many years. Mike originally called the break, " The End of the Road"
@@johnwinieski6499 Might want to check your facts before firing off such confident answers. Teahupo was surfed for the first time ever by two local surfers in 1985. Bodyboarders Mike Stewart and Ben Severson took it from there, and the fame and renown of " The End of the Road", or Teahupo grew from there
Amaaaaazing doc guys ! Surfers should stand up and everybody says NO we are not surfing on the Olympics ... at least they should try to find a proper way compite and save the life and nature ...
Already excited to watch season 7. I’ll be thrilled to see a SOG on next round! Please use the same 15gl pots from this season showing if you would reamend or not and how! Keep you the good work for the community Jeremy!
Very revealing documentary showcasing a potential huge problem for the gentle people of this little Tahitian village. I will go there next year and I hope I find the place is not ruined by the spot light of the 2024 Olympics. Lets hope I find these gentle water warriors living the same beautiful uncomplicated life Documentaire très révélateur mettant en lumière un énorme problème potentiel pour les gentils habitants de ce petit village tahitien. J'y retournerai l'année prochaine et j'espère que l'endroit ne sera pas gâché par les projecteurs des Jeux olympiques de 2024. Espérons que je trouverai ces doux guerriers de l'eau vivant la même belle vie simple.
Un de mes rêve est d'aller a Teahupo'o, pas forcément pour surfer la vague même si ça doit être l'expérience d'une vie à essayer, mais surtout pour son cadre fascinant, sa nature a couper le souffle et les locaux qui ont l'air d'une bienveillance inestimable. 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. Super documentaire, toute l'équipe a sublimer ce lieu majestueux à leur manière, que ce soit par la parole ou par les cinématiques époustouflantes ! Merci !
Oui et vous avez raison. Il faut absolument garder cette authenticité, c'est ce qui nous fait rêver nous les métropolitains fan de surf. Vous êtes le dernier rempart pour préserver ce qui nous fait tous vibrer : la nature, la vague, l'océan... Les JO oui mais dans le respect du lieu, des gens et de l'esprit !
Me gusto muchísimo este documental......no permitan esos juegos olimpicos....la industria así como funciona hoy es una enfermedad que lo destroza todo....mucho amor para teahupo'o y suerte si dejan entrar al demonio del interés!
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.
@@ruimonteiromeCould have built a wave pool in France somewhere, then used by the public afterwards for years. Not every ‘joe’ can afford to fly to the other side of the world!
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?

Beautiful ! Nicely shot. Great story. I only hope the commercialism of the Olympics does not ruin this surfing treasure for generations to come.

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!
