Laurie Towner and Dylan Longbottom charged Teahupoo on the historic swell of August 27, 2011. Thanks to Network_A, Billabong’s entire Code Red (documenting the boys crazy day) is now online in it’s entirely.
The Billabong Pro Tahiti event on surfing’s World Tour was placed on hold due to a massive swell bearing down on the famed big-wave spot, Teahupoo. With forecasts calling for unprecedented surf, some of the greatest surfers in the world descended on the island to be in the water, despite a “Code Red” called by the Tahitian Coast Guard, which sought to keep everyone on shore.
We’ve watched all the footage we can from that day and it never seems to get old. How’s that spit?
