Teahupoo beach

Teahupoo is a superb surfer beach in the south of Tahiti island, French Polynesia. The wave is good, but very dangerous, thus suitable for experienced surfers only. The uniqueness is in the reef, which partially extinguishes the swell from the west end. It gives the opportunity to make excellent photos being right in the center of it all, but without any danger to the camera man. That's why, there are so many relaxed watchers just chilling out at the edge of abyss. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
