Answer 1

if u dont know the name of the wave by now, u probably haven't been surfing long enough to challenge Teahupoo.  if u haven't charged a good day at pipeline u aren't ready for teahupoo.  if u aren't sure if ur ready for teahupoo, u aren't ready for teahupoo.

like, pipe, it's a razor sharp shallow reef to be taken with the utmost seriousness.  the current there is not nearly as strong as pipe, but it's way farther out.

i too am captivated by the power of this wave, and know i'll surf it at some point, but there are a lot of other (longer and less trecherous) waves on my list above.  dont surf chopes.  its an expenseve trip to get to a wave u aren't ready for.
