From the Red Bull files… What’s the best way for a coach to impress the participants of a Junior Surf Training Camp? Surfing an enormous wave in front of the open-mouthed up-and-coming surfers. Watch coach and professional big wave surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer do just that at Teahupoo in Tahiti.

After over a dozen trips to Tahiti, I finally saw the movie Ultimate Wave Tahiti last night at the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego. Here's what I thought about the flick...

With all these early season south swells, Teahupo‘o has been firing lately! Check out Laird Hamilton, Jamie O'Brien, Kalani Chapman, Ryan Hipwood, Raimana, and more scoring prime time barrels at one of the world's most photogenic waves. All photos Zak Noyle.

The St. Patricks day swell from hell hit Teahupo‘o with more force than has been seen there in years, check the video for proof!

The first big south swell of 2010 rocks the heaviest wave in the world... check the exclusive photos here!

While the swell didn't materialize into one of those "Oh my God!" events, Teahupo‘o produced some flashes of what kind of tube riding and beat downs it's capable of hosting last weekend for select crew of international chargers.
