Biggest Teahupoo Ever!!!

This day @ Teahupoo - 27 August 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest & gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden.  Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in history of big wave surfing.  The French Navy labeled this day a double code red, prohibiting & threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.


Kelly Slater described the day by saying "witnessing this was a draining feeling, being terrified for other people's lives all day long, it's life or death.  Letting go of that rope one time can change your life & not many people will ever experience that in their life."


All images were shot by Chris Bryan using the Phantom HD Gold camera.  To see more of Chris' work, check out his website.
