THE ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI




Documentary

PRINCIPAL PARTICIPANTS
Nine-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater
Tahitian surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer

REVIEW
While waiting for the ultimate wave to arrive off Tahiti's famed Teahupo'o beach there is a brief history of this Polynesian island and some of the local customs. Making good use of CGI we get an insight into the science of wave mechanics and the formation of volcanic islands.

But the best part are the sequences of actually surfing these monstrous waves. That makes for some spectacular images.
