- AN EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTARY.
Lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on the island of Tahiti, lies a village that's home to one of the world's most beautiful waves - Teahupo'o. Facing mystical mountains covered in a wild and luxuriant jungle, the perfect wave of Teahupo'o wraps around the reef to create a powerful tube that attracts the best surfers on the planet.
Photographer Tim Mckenna has been documenting this paradise for over 25 years. From Laird Hamilton's Millennium Wave to WSL competitions, the locals pushing the limits, and the upcoming Olympic Games, he has been a privileged witness to Teahupo'o.
Alongside all the big names in surfing, he has seen the emergence of a generation of local kids who have come to tame this mythical wave. Among them are Tahurai Henry and Gilbert Teave.
Aware of how lucky they are to have grown up in this paradise, they dedicate all their energy and heart to preserving the place and passing on their culture to future generations. They are the guardians of the temple, the heirs of the village. They are the children of Teahupo'o.
OXBOW is proud to present CHILDREN OF TEAHUPOO, a 36-minute film produced by Showcast, directed by Hand Studio.

Full support to the children of teahupoo... Keep your spot wild!!!!
ça a deja commencé...

Tragic :( I swear it is my dream to see this paradise with my own eyes but I just could'nt go. I have too much respect for the simplicity of these people's lives. I hope the governement of Polynesia will be worthy of respect by avoiding the tragedy threatening their poeple. I beg pro surfer's community to wake up and protect the gift nature gives them to do what they love. Have a beautiful day, from brussels.
You said exactly what I feel. I'm French, I want to go, it's a true dream but I don't want to be part of the destruction and mass tourism.
Money....money...money....the World we live in....
So so so sad. Happened in so many places and always new places get destroyed. They convince the local people that this business will bring money, wellfare, jobs for their children. Then foreign investors and speculators will buy their lands and properties for what seems good money for the poorer locals. Then prices of land and properties will rocket high up, living right their will become too expensive for the locals, jobs will go to people that for too low salaries spend a season or some and the place just becomes a business of outsiders, the money goes to other countries where the investors reside and locals will have lost their paradise, money and jobs, and most of all, the land they could live on without all this business.
Just like Cornwall, UK local people born in Cornwall cannot afford to buy a house there anymore....
@@peterkeeves8240 true, you guys just described Thailand's entire coastline, locals are absolutely priced out of living there.
I hate the capitalistic mindset. People all around the world were living great and then they were told they could obtain better, but it was all a ruse.
@@risemahadeva the accumulation of assets is not just a function of capitalism, there are oligarchs atop the myriad political/economic systems. what we need to stop is the preternatural greed that some people have, but I dunno how we do that...
This is yet another reason i keep telling people we should aim for a world without money.
If we can make it through climate change, we might be able to do it. Our biggest challenge, like with climate change as well, is our global mostly unwilling attitude.
I went to Tahiti and Moorea for 3 weeks in September 2005 and my Tahitian hubby at time took me to Teahupoo and even on small 4-6 ft day the current was insane. The most magical place on earth such beauty and energy. I love this film as I've been huge fan of McKenna photography and to finally see the genius himself and his story is truly incredible. Thank you for sharing. ❤ ❤
Tel un vrai homme viril, j'ai complètement lâché ma larme. Magnifique reportage, d'un endroit magnifique, avec des gens magnifiques. Jeux Olympiques ou non, la nature doit rester la nature et rien ni personne n'a de droit sure Elle.
Amaaaaazing doc guys ! Surfers should stand up and everybody says NO we are not surfing on the Olympics ... at least they should try to find a proper way compite and save the life and nature ...
Beautiful ! Nicely shot. Great story. I only hope the commercialism of the Olympics does not ruin this surfing treasure for generations to come.
Excellent documentary ! Gilbert grom charges a true soul surfer
Great production! Great initiative! We want teauhpo as it is!
So good to see the locals enjoying their prized waters. My best wishes for the Olympic Games: may they bring you happiness, wealth, and new friends.
Des images sublimes, des personnages à la fois simples et profonds, une musique en adéquation avec l’atmosphère mystique du lieu, un narratif qui ne fait pas dans le sensationnalisme.... une parenthèse enchantée, une bonne et belle claque.
BRAVO et MERCI.
P.s : en espérant que l’appât du gain et Instagram ne défigurent pas ce lieu à tout jamais
🙏
super Beau, Super beauty-Full. May Jah protect TEAHUPO'O endlessly.
Fabuleux reportage ! Simple et magnifique. Sans artifices. Comme ce lieu.
Oui et vous avez raison. Il faut absolument garder cette authenticité, c'est ce qui nous fait rêver nous les métropolitains fan de surf.
Vous êtes le dernier rempart pour préserver ce qui nous fait tous vibrer : la nature, la vague, l'océan...
Les JO oui mais dans le respect du lieu, des gens et de l'esprit !
Sublime reportage , touchant et vrai . Merci Oxbow et take care boys
My tears fall for the children of Teahupo'o, they fall at the thought of what might be lost from this delicately balanced village ecosystem. I wish with my whole heart for the whole world that greed is replaced with a peaceful harmony with nature
keep Teahupo'o as it is ! it's a beautifull documentary, and i really hope for them , that everything will be preserved after that, WE can't destroy that in any way. Oxbow you just made an exceptionnel video for sure
Fantastique reportage.
Je vous souhaite de préserver ce paradis le plus longtemps possible et que l'authenticité et simplicité persiste.
🤙🏼🇵🇫
Great little movie about the world's most outstanding wave and the beautiful people who live and surf there.
I hope we can be sensible and not destroy the essence of that amazing place.
Absolutely stunning moving outstanding documentary - tone, editing, soundtrack… all wonderful. I have watched dozens of Teahupoo surf clips on RUclips but your film really stands out on a different level doing the subject justice - huge respect. 👏👏
As modern surfing goes, Teahupoo was "discovered" by multiple time bodyboarding world champion, Mike Stewart, who used to surf Teahupoo by himself for many years. Mike originally called the break, " The End of the Road"
Load of crap. Tahitians always have surfed there.
@@johnwinieski6499 Might want to check your facts before firing off such confident answers. Teahupo was surfed for the first time ever by two local surfers in 1985.
Bodyboarders Mike Stewart and Ben Severson took it from there, and the fame and renown of " The End of the Road", or Teahupo grew from there
Bo
I really hope the Olympic Games wont change the soul of this magnificent place, makes me sad to see the sadness in Gilbert eyes, thats their paradise and true surfers
Gilbert is the real deal,good kid,,he going be the man future generations look to,on not just surf,,the whole package,,
Ce court métrage prend le cœur ! C’est vraiment super bien écrit et super bien monté, un bravo à tout ceux qui on taffer dessus c’est vraiment de belles images, de belles rencontres et de super histoire que l’on fait à travers ce court métrage ! Le but était de sensibiliser et c’est gagner bien jouer !
Thanks for this! Crazy how these local kids are ripping there... hope they will be able to for the next generations to come.
Magnifique, un des plus beau reportage sur le surf que j'ai vu jusqu'à présent. Bravo pour la realisation.
Rarement vu un docu aussi bien fait sur le surf et ARTE vous avez un sacre concurent la !
Magnifique documentaire ! Merci Oxbow et tous ceux derrière les caméras et les ordinateurs pour ce film
Respecter ce bout de île teahupoo très bon reportage. Merci au surfeurs du spot 😊🎉 que ce coin reste vierges et local pour toujours aloha
One of the best documentaries......everr
I really hope that olympics do not change the view and the environment in Teahupoo to preserve this spot and protect the local population. All the best to you guys over there. If one day i have the chance to visit this piece of paradise i will sleep like you and eat the milk and biscuits like Gilbert .
Gilbert est un être exceptionnel. Bonne vie à lui...
This truly touched my heart and made me love the place even more. Wow!❤️
Vraiment magnifique ce documentaire ! Vous avez filmé Teahupo'o à la perfection et surtout ceux qui font partie de son ADN. Il faudra tout faire pour conserver cela après les JO. J'ai peur du pire
Very revealing documentary showcasing a potential huge problem for the gentle people of this little Tahitian village. I will go there next year and I hope I find the place is not ruined by the spot light of the 2024 Olympics. Lets hope I find these gentle water warriors living the same beautiful uncomplicated life
Documentaire très révélateur mettant en lumière un énorme problème potentiel pour les gentils habitants de ce petit village tahitien. J'y retournerai l'année prochaine et j'espère que l'endroit ne sera pas gâché par les projecteurs des Jeux olympiques de 2024. Espérons que je trouverai ces doux guerriers de l'eau vivant la même belle vie simple.
Holy shit i thought I was watching a KOA Rothman vid.This is next level .Love Koa but this is legit.
beautiful - magnifique
Splendide que Teahupoo garde son authenticité après les JO 😍🙏🤙
Film tout simplement magnifique, merci Oxbow
🙏
Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know and my heartfelt hugs to you.
OMG .. beautiful movie!
Incredible and important work. Thank you for making and sharing this.
Beautiful!
Je n'ai pas d'autres mots que "magnifique"...
Très beau reportage.
22 ans que j'ai quitté le Fenua pour les Maldives, et même si je ne regrette pas mon choix, j'ai toujours gardé la Polynésie dans mon ❤...
Super Reportage merci de tout ♥️
J'ai quitté TAHITI pour La France et pour l'autriche où j' habite depuis lontemps.J'ai trois belles filles qui sont nées ici et s'intéressent beaucoup aux cultures polynésiens.
Moi j'suis fière d'être polynësienne .
J'ai beaucoup de Respekt pour mes Tupunas , mes cultures, Mon peuple
et bien sūre Ma Familie.♥️♥️♥️♥️
TAHITI resterss toujours.dans Mon ♥️
Me gusto muchísimo este documental......no permitan esos juegos olimpicos....la industria así como funciona hoy es una enfermedad que lo destroza todo....mucho amor para teahupo'o y suerte si dejan entrar al demonio del interés!
Defiendan su pueblo, su cultura y sobretodo su vida tranquila.
The kids (and adults) are enjoying their environment as their people have always done for many millennia. It makes sense that when you live on an island you have to get comfortable with water.
Amazing!!!
this docu contains a very important message
Beautiful
Beautiful film.
Soy del país Vasco... estoy disponible para luchar con ustedes ...aki no se rinde nadie cojonesssss!!!!!!!!!

Respect à vous les gars 🤙
Here for the algorithm, as everyone should watch this masterpiece.
Cela donne tant envie d'aller s'installer et s'intégrer proche de vous, tahurai, gilbert et compagnie ont vraiment le bon mana
La plus belle des vagues ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your life at Teauhpo. It looks truly beautiful. I hope it stays the same for you if that is possible.❤❤
bravo à vous! et bon combat !
@7:30 that reflection is magnificent!
Un film perfecto, con un mensaje trágico. El dinero no debería de poderlo todo. Ojalá consigáis frenar el cambio devastador que os viene, salvar la situación como la ola de Teahupo’o os enseña a hacer cada vez que entráis en ella y conservar con cariño aquel pedacito de naturaleza que aún es respetado por sus locales.
top !
Les plans sont magnifiques wow 😮
nice
Bravo
Es muy conmovedor el tema de la interaccion con la naturaleza cuando es nuestra conciencia a la que hay cambiar y asi daremos reflejo de nuestros actos a las proximas generaciones.-
Beautiful story ❤ hopefully the olympics don’t destroy your beautiful paradise 😢
This needs to be covered in the news
Bravo❤
E Kū Teahupoʻo👊🏾🤙🏾
Not worth ruining the reef to build the Olympic stands.
Que no se permita a la estupidez humana arruinar semejante paraiso, menos aún por los absurdos juegos olimpicos.
Wow, what camera equipment and lenses/filter did you use? Great pictures!
amazing. sad! But unfinished !
puro newen...mana...protejan la naturaleza de la industria del deporte.
Pueblo de Teahupo'o no permitan que la mano y la codicia del hombre destruyan ese paraíso que es vuestro hogar, un abrazo fuerte desde Barcelona🤙
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤❤❤
Sad reality 😔
Get the best surfers in the world to boycott it! Surfers rely on nature for what they love. Band together!
Its the beginning of the end for the end of the road
Facts… so sad
tahurai tient un double jeu, il fait genre il est a fond dans le respect et la nature, mais passe on temps a faire l'influenceur pour promotionner la marque Teahupoo... Ce petit village du bout de la route est maintenant un carrefour international pour les routes du surf et du tourisme... cela attire tous les investisseurs, politiques et autres personnes avident d'argent... Il fallait resté discret... Le fruit est dans la pomme... Les traveaux ont déja changé le village... les maisons rbnb pousse de partout financer par ceux de la ville...gentrification en action... heuresement que y'a des taata comme lorenzo ou matai...
Faatura te natura !
Great video, and as an older surfer, skater/snow boarder, I too have concerns about the Olympics coming in and ruining the area. The Olympics are 2, 3 weeks long, so they’ll be gone, but their impact will last years. It would be one thing if they were to conform to the village, but they’re not doing that. They’re altering the landscape, which is bullshite in my opinion. France has Hossegar, so why can’t they have it there? And I understand the concern of the locals worried about their spot being known now, because the possibility of developers coming in and “Developing” something that that doesn’t need to be developed, ie hotels and mass tourism has now increased. I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen. And if you are a tourist going there, show respect to the community and the culture, and if you are going to surf, please learn surf etiquette. Too many idiots don’t learn surfing etiquette…..😡
so sad to think that i dont no if i will could surf this whave once in my life
