The Ultimate Wave Tahiti

The Ultimate Wave Tahiti plunges into the stunning beauty of an island paradise on a quest to find the perfect wave-riding experience. Ten-time world champion Kelly Slater, Tahitian surfing sensation Raimana Can Bastolaer and a group of friends seek out the best waves breaking at Tahiti's legendary surf spot, Teahupo'o and uncover the hidden forces at work shaping ocean waves and the islands that lie in their path. Amidst incredible surfing action, we navigate the oceans, flying into the heart of a storm and diving beneath the breakers, exploring the coral reefs in search of the source of a wave's energy. On mountainous Tahiti itself, the violent, volcanic past of the Polynesian islands is revealed along with the sea-going, wave-riding roots of the island people - a culture rich in the music, dance and lore of the sea. And when the truly big surf arrives at Teahupo'o, surfing play becomes surfing survival as the riders artfully tackle some of the wildest, heaviest surf on the planet!
