A music video of surf footage I shot at Teahupoo in Tahiti, French Polynesia. (pronounced cho-poo) It was shot on Nov 2, 2007. The music is Remember (cinematrik rework) by Hisboyelroy, vocals by Fort Minor. http://his-boy-elroy.com/
THIS FILE IS BIG, GIVE IT SOME TIME TO LOAD.
Check out photos Duncan took of this session:
From Surfline:
Teahupo’o is a world-renowned surfing location off the south-east of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, southern Pacific Ocean. This isn’t your father’s perfect wave, and unless seeing your next birthday doesn’t rank on your list of priorities, it isn’t yours either. Tahiti’s Teahupoo is essentially a glorified closeout — a hideous, deadly barrel promising a heap of trouble for even the most capable of surfers. In recent years, professional contests and high-profile tow-ins have bombarded us with images of their seemingly flawless barrels, but no other surf spot extracts a higher toll than Teahupoo, the heaviest wave in the world.
On August 17, 2000 Laird Hamilton is credited with surfing the heaviest wave ever ridden, documented in the film Riding Giants.

very cool video!
Great clip and editing! Amazing waves!
Fuckin’ rad, Jon!
Awesome stuff!
cool, i think the music is Fort Minor though (linkin parks Mike Shinoda). http://www.lastfm.de/music/Fort%20Minor
Wow great, I’m amazed about all the great places you have bin!
that wave is insane. Is that the one that Laird rocked for the first time?
sick! Laird is the man.
Nice work dude! I would love to have been there. You wouldn’t my ass on those waves though. Heavy is right.
Wow Jon…..This is really awesome. Thanks for sharing this with me! Those waves are unreal!
Great shots, edits, and choice of music…
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Great video Jon! I’m so happy I was there to see this!

Nice HD video 🙂
jon, thanks for sharing this cool video….
One of the most awesome waves on the planet!
Loved watching “Rainbow wig” guy wipe out!
now that’s some big waves!
dude it’s surprisingly chilly to watch this vid with that song, lol.
Very excellent, as your stuff always is. For some reason, makes me think of the sand sledding… was that Dubai?
And what camera did you use to shoot this?
love this fort minor remix. great video….!
nice work! Teahupoo can be hard to shoot, Can you remember if you adjusted your shutter speed to compensate?
Thanks for the comments everybody!
Looks dangerous, and fun at the same time. Too bad I’m too scared to even attempt that.
Sick video man. I would love to sit on the shoulder at Teahupoo and and just drool! It would be hard to only shoot video without surfing…
Your next mission is to shoot when the ASP tour hits Teahupoo. I would love to see some raw footage of Slater, the Irons, and FL boys like the Hobgoods.
Thanks for sharing!
Loved it!
Tehupoo I’ve seen it so many times in videos but can’t really get bored of it can you 🙂
I can’t believe how well the song goes with the vid! One of my favorite Teahupoo vids ever!
P.S. you are REALLY good at recording these!
P.P.S. I hope that there are many more!
That’s it!
Your work is incredible. But, I’m wondering do you have girlfriend?! in such busy life.
Great video, was enjoying to watch. As a smaller wave (2-5 foot) surfer, it is really enjoyable to see the bigger waves.
