Teahupoo WHOA!

Biggest Teahupoo Ever by Chris Bryan by PayeTaChatte

From Wikipedia: Teahupoʻo (pronounced cho-po) is a world-renowned surfing location off the South West of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, southern Pacific Ocean. It is known for its heavy, glassy waves, often reaching 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft) and higher. It is the site of the annual Billabong Pro Tahiti surf competition, part of the World Championship Tour (WCT) of the ASP World Tour professional surfing circuit.

In Chris Bryan‘s video from last year’s Billabong tour you’ll see that the waves do indeed get way, way higher than 7-10 feet.
