Tweakin - Tom Lowe's Teahupoo
A section from a film by Mickey Smith about a little trip the Ireland big wave pioneers – Mickey, Lowe and Fergal Smith – recently made to Tahiti. They know the place well, and as you can see, that Irish juice is good training for tackling ‘Chopes’.
Or is it the other way round?
I quite liked the clip.One of the few ones where you can actually see how the take off there is done and how the take off zone moves along as time goes by.
The take off is essential.Miss it and there is no wave to surf.Still looks heavy though and reasonably packed,a bit too many sequences in the dark(dawn or sunset).
