Sports reviews of BLACKWATER: The Story of a Place Called Teahupo'o
Customer Review: Teapuhoo dvd
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have purchased quite a few surfing dvds lately and all I can say is, this dvd is one of the best surf dvds I've seen in years! First of all, if you are not familiar with Teapuhoo, this will expose you to a break that is hard to wrap your mind around. The footage is great and the extras are great too.
This is a very unusual place mainly due to the placement of the reef and it's shape. The reef is curved and the waves break around it. If you catch it when it's breaking big and you are just outside of the break, they say it's as if you are looking down a 5 story building! The bottom of the wave is below sea level and the reef holds up so much water, it almost acts as a dam, where it is below sea level in front of the wave and at the top and backside of the wave it's another level stories high! You really need to see this to believe it!
I have purchased the book called "Teapuhoo, Tahiti's mythic wave" and it helps tell the story in the photographs. I also spent almost $200 (the most I've ever spent on a framed photo)for a print that shows the energy that is created. This shows a large wave with the front side of the wave where the face is flat....as in VERTICAL, because of the upward energy caused by the surf and the reef! I just had to have a picture of it, because it doesn't look possible!
There is a Blackwater 2, but I haven't seen that yet, but hope to soon. I don't know if the first Blackwater can be improved on, but who knows?
Description of BLACKWATER: The Story of a Place Called Teahupo'o
Blackwater is the story of Teahupo'o, a humble Tahitian village and a coral reef wave made from equal parts beauty and terror. The wave is undoubtedly one of surfing's most challenging and awe-inspiring waves, as Chris Malloy comments "That wave has changed surfing forever." 2005 SURFER Poll & Video Awards Nominations: BEST TUBE RIDE: KELLY SLATER WORST WIPEOUT: DAMIEN HOBGOOD WORST WIPEOUT: SHANE DORIAN The movie features fantastic surfing and commentary from a who's who of surfing, people such as Vetea David, Manoa Drollet, Shane Dorian, Kelly Slater, Tom Carroll, Mark Occhilupo, Bruce and Andy Irons, Layne Beachley and the Hobgood brothers to name a few. For the first time you can see and hear it all - the myths, the facts, the history, the stories, the consequences, and most of all, the unforgettable waves. The music is top notch with artists such as Adam Freeland, Red Whyte, Butterfly Effect, Decoder Ring, Paul Kearney, Katalyst, Pre-Shrunk, Clotaire, Inked Factor, Nora Drenalin, Volatile, Not For You, Switchkicker, Strength in Numbers, Erther and Live, Love, Regret. Blackwater contains loads of never-before-seen footage from over 25 of the world's best cameramen, exclusive interviews with over 50 great surfers, and just one BIG star - a surf location that's nothing short of unbelievable. This is a must-see DVD.
