What perfection looks like at Teahupo’o 2018’s first swells. | Sessions

The South Pacific jewel shines as winter’s first swells show up in style. Teahupo’o has laid relatively dormant over the past few years, an occasional show of strength here, a day or two of pumping swell there, but something looked different when the maps lit up for the first time in 2018. The crew were a combination of local chargers, while an underground posse of Hawaiian and European hellmen made their way to Papeete for the swell too.
