SURFING TEAHUPOO for the FIRST TIME
HTML-код

- -EPISODE 30-
I've always desired to go to Tahiti, and surf Teahupoo. It's pretty expensive from the East Coast of the U.S., and never having been invited before, I just never have gone. Well that all changed, and I finally got a taste of the heaviest wave at the end of the road.
I learned that the crowd factor is much more difficult than I imagined from seeing videos online. I also learned I should never go back without my own filmer, haha. BUT, I had a blast with some friends, and it was an incredible learning experience that'll have me trekking back to the South Pacific sometime in 2019.

To be clear... when I say I didn’t get the wave I wanted, it’s because it’s TEAHUPOO, not your normal surf spot. None of the waves in this video were actually proper sets from the days I was surfing. HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME!
Gravy, tho a small wave boy, needs to go.... for manhood claim ofc.
Also head sw to tassie, shipsterns. Where i live.
Brett Barley those waves still looked insane. I'm getting up in years 58 so I doubt I'll ever get a wave like that in my remaining years. Thanks for filming and getting some fun ones. I'll live vicariously thru your adventures.
@@jasethesmiff5683 gravy charges all size surf. watch his vids. also Brett, the wave where the boat is in the foreground was a fuckin bomb. nice mate
I think that's just part of being ambitious/perfectionist, most important thing is to have fun and realise you're accomplishing a huge amount 👌
Super sick Brett!!
I was scrolling down for that BIG DOG comment!
Thanks Ben!
Gravy..... get out there
ncsam 000000 have you seen him in Northern California? Hater
@ncsam 000000 dude surfings not a pissing competition. Its all about being stoked. Ben's ripped waves that tonnes of dudes would never dream of ripping. And the grin on his face says it all. Take your hate elsewhere.
I’ve been following your career since the tow in at Hatteras session when the outer sandbars were breaking when you were about 15 yrs old. Now rightfully so you are traveling the globe and living your dream. So cool to see a Buxton local succeed!
Why is this channel not blowing up yet?
I think that is a good question. I love this channel. I also follow a few other surf channels (JOB 127k subs, Ben gravy (57k subs, BEEFS T.V. 21k subs, Koa Rothman 21k subs), and the biggest difference is not in the quality of waves. I think that these other channels, especially JOB get more popularity because of the novelty factor. JOB does more stunts (surfing in T-rex suit, supsquatch, closeouts, etc.). Ben gravy has a similar kind of novelty factor, but not quite to the same extent as JOB. I wonder if that attracts more surfers or non surfers or both to their channels. I'm not saying that Brett doesn't have a unique surf style, I love to see him surf. I think he does a great job vlogging as well, especially the fishing and capturing moments with his family (fishing, grilling, etc.). Before I write a whole essay here, I will en by saying that I think all of the channels that I listed deserve more attention, including this one. Great content Brett!
chaz8624 exactly.
I’m pretty new to following surfing vlogs (Ben Gravy broke me in 🤣), so I’m about to have my mind blown if there are better ones than this.
Because in the summer his vlogs are pretty boring if you aren't into fishing. Koa traveled all summer finding the best waves to avoid the lack of swell in Hawaii and by episode 10 you can see how much more comfortable he is on camera and the quality of his vlogs just keep going up. I honestly cannot stand Ben Gravy but he does all kinds of stuff(mostly surf related stuff) so I can see how people would find him entertaining. JOB is the GOAT nuff said there. So I think its the down time in the summer.
@@dustinmartel2466 Koa surfs the craziest waves on the planet, JOB has been a world wide name since I was a teen, and Ben is the king of novelty surf. It's understandable why all of those have more followers for sure. I'll back that statement 100%.
The wave at 11:15 was insane!!! Insane production quality too!
For sure! U know its big when it spits that early!
Hi Brett, love your video. I'll make a comment regarding BG, JOB, KR etc. and your smaller amount of followers. JOB is like a teenager dream, BG is a teenager fear, and KR is a hawaiian teenager good boy dream. You're more of a mature, quiet surfer, something less trendy but ultimately more attractive for many watchers. Thanks for your work. Huge.
turvyjj I appreciate the kind words :)
That was sick mate, I would be stoked with any of those waves.
Wow amazing footage. Like that you kept all the pop-ups in. It's interesting to see how you get into waves like that. Pretty educational for those of us looking to make steeper drops.
Thank You for showing us for the first time in YT that there is something around the wave
Brett, you are the real thing. No idiotic "prank" vlogs. Just the Ocean.
Yeah Mr. Barley !! Great to see you having some fun and living the dream as always. Thank you for the stoke.
No, Thank YOU!
WHO'S STOKED I FINALLY TRACKED DOWN ENOUGH SURF CLIPS TO FINISH THIS THING?! 🙋🏽♂️
Oh for sure me!
So stoked Brett. Your tube riding is polished buddy. I need a crash course on the stall to pump to arm drag to pump to exit. OK.........yewwww when you have some time can we book a quick clinic?
@@pickleforknwiggles634 I've got a tutorial planned for it... just haven't had time to shoot it yet.
This was mental !!!! Wow love it !!!
@Jason Karl Dang, I can't believe this was the first thing you watched to unwind from a hectic couple work days. Means a lot :) Thanks for the support!
Dude your barrell riding style is soooo silky smooth. So many yewww! moments to mention. Thanks for the vids and may the stoke flow freely.
Wow first time at “Chopes”?! Looked to me like you have surfed that wave before because you were shredding🤙
It's a perfect wave haha. I never got my chance at a bigger thick one, and those are the really difficult ones. I did have a couple wipeouts, but didn't have them on film.
Yeah!!! That wave is so rad especially when it gets like code red! Can’t wait to see you rip on some bigger waves next time Brett!! 🤙
I was wondering if you ate it on any. You were making some late drops. I thought you weren’t going to make one of em.
Another great vid and editing. Be good to spend a little more time here and get to fish and surf.
@@danastebbins4779 I had one serious nose dive especially... but it was right at dark, and no one got it on film. haha
Geez brett so stoked on your vids!!!!! Repping the east coast right!!!
Fantastic stuff! Those two waves after 11:00, so deep! "Didn't get the wave I wanted"
Those last two waves were insane!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Nice perspective of a person going for the first time.
Your barrel riding style is so nice to watch! Thanks for the edit !
Amazing GoPro footage and barrel riding skill man. Thank you. Your video shows the crazy bend in the face of the wave while you almost surf as much foam ball as face. Very nice.
some of these shots are like dreams, I feel like I'm in the movie Avatar
Best video that shows the magic of Tahiti all the way from waves to all around. Thxx Brett!
Just now watching video and wow. So rad you got to get it when it was pretty much proper chopes. I went last May to shoot and it was something I'll never forget. The local guys are just so welcoming there and with the help of Tahurai and Ryan, the two times I've gone just couldn't have been possible without them. Hope you get out there again sooner than later!
Ya the people down there are amazing. I want to go back so bad. Really just to hang out longer and surf/fish.
that knifing drop into a the stand up pit...would be my wave of a lifetime!!! you did yourself proud, and looked comfortable out there mate..yeew..you should be on the ct for sure
@John Eric IMO what is lame is making a dumb comment about free surfing vs "the tour" on a 2 year old video. I've been hearing that boring debate for the whole of my 45+ years of surfing..they evn made a movie called North shore back in the 80s lol..funnily enough really good surfers I've met never say the tour is lame, they all take an interest and respect the guys who make a living on tour.
Gave it a like before it had even loaded- this is gonna be a banger
haha epic! Thanks
Those waves are mesmerizingly perfect
Woah! When a surfer gets a deep barrel at Teahupoo, it looks like they are surfing uphill!!
You just can't beat the islanders hospitality. You got back with no reef rash or worse it was a good trip. God bless.
To evolve as an east coast surfer to what Brett is now is to me extremely impressive. Like slater, you have to want sooo much more than being a local celeb and put yourself way out of your comfort zone in foreign places. It’s just a longer road than say growing up in HI or Australia. Mad Respect Man!🤙🏽
That comment means so much. Thank you for that!
🐨 loving the content Brett, You are great at capturing the moment!
Awesome to see east coasters so comfortable on heavy waves. I grew up surfing with Sam Hammer and Dean Randazzo, and you guys and Ben Gravy are definitely some heavy hitters in the Surf World. Seem to make any wave you ride look like another day at the office. I think when people see surfers from the east coast do so well in exotic locations it really surprises them.
So pumped to see an OBX local getting spit out at Chopes! Get the dream alive, Brett!
Those late drops were sick!
Cool how humble and genuine you are in your videos!!!! 100% Real..
Always cool, relaxing surf videos. Thanks.
Great travel video BB! I remember having a sick Pipeline poster of Mike Latronic on my wall when I was a grom 25 yrs ago.
Some great catches, propers to ya!
Super cool footage and music!
Edit and music so on point for real and thank you for sharing such an amazing place.
At 10:58 that wave and the wave after were bonkers!...SICK!
you make barrel riding look so easy and then I hop on my surfboard and am happy to do a cutback on a 3 foot wave
Epic vid. Tahiti is so sick. Gotta go back. Wind forecast for Oahu looks kinda shotty if your still here. Plenty swell coming though. Keep posting! Aloha and God bless!
Hands down best surf videography and vlog combined! Such quality content, keep it up mate!
Love your edits, and experiences! Thank you.
you're a top class surfer man! for real. smooth clean humble and got balls. good shit, great quality. gives the me the chillz!
Wow what an incredible place. Your water shots are amazing nice job, stoked for you!
Best surf videos on RUclips
It's awesome how I can actually relate to you and your videos/experience, looks like you're a serious dude, with family and responsibilities , trying your best to organize your wallet/job/life to score some awesome waves every now and then, and with SERIOUS surf skills. It's pretty much my lifa goals, except for the awesome surf skills, but I'm trying my best and dedicating A LOT to get my best performance on every trip to costa rica/peru/indonesia/hawaii/etc that I take.
Respect a lot, I will be ansious for every new video of yours. The fine job you deliver to us is AAA. Congratulations!
I'm tired of seeing those surfers we all know very well, with that kind of life we will pretty mucha never have (by that I mean: staying all day long at the beach, 24/7, doing nothing but surf and of course, ripping their asses out, obviously hahahah)
I don’t want you to be mislead, but my job is surfing professionally. So when I do these trips it isn’t on my own dime, but that which I have budgeted from my sponsors.
It is still a balance of work/family/life to do what I do... but leaving on trips like this is what I do for a living, so the decision is made easier. I would have never flown to Tahiti last minute after being home for 1 day of it wasn’t for work.
I cherish time at home with my family too much.
Fun sized waves. Nice!
Very nice. Rode them like a champ.
So sick!!!
Absolutely love your channel... I look forward to all the new vids... keep up the good work!!
Thank you!!
gnarly barley and Gravy killing the vlogs! great edit dude, even better surfing
nice video....Brent killin it with the drone shots...tahiti looks so beautiful.
Amazing video. I liked the music , also the surfer was very real and very cool personable style , amazing!
Thank you. I’m both the surfer and editor. :) I appreciate the kind words.
...funny, you got every wave I ever wanted. Great vid as always.
Awesome. Amazing to watch.
so stoked for ya Brett! awesome edit! swell 2 you were stylin and that late drop was insane! thanks for sharing the stoke!
The drop at 11.15 is siiiick
Absolutely Amazing!!! 11:35 What!!!!
Surfing and soundtrack are sick!
Epic video! Love the music, living the dream!
Some skills under the lip. You got a couple sick ones. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Surfing and soundtrack so sick
Great Vlog Brett! Awesome cinematography too!
Solid. Cage Fighting for a wave at Chopes is no fun.
Brett, Your edits rock! That is it.
Bro straight up charging!...expected nothing less!
EPIC!!!
I got butterflies just watching this heaviness. Some of the late drops you made were insane and I feel like this video does a great job putting how gnarly this wave is into perspective for people like me who haven't been there. Bummed you didn't get a set wave but if those were the insiders... what did the sets look like????
Nice to see a good ole' hatteras boy killin' it at teahupoo! Keep up the great content!
popped up in my feed so rewatched this... you absolutely charging at 6:06 so sick
That wave @11:22 was insane SO RAD
really stoked for you! made some sick ones...
Men you are the savior of RUclips.
Your surfing is very inspiring !!
Such a sick edit, solid job man.
Sickk!!
Wow Brett, your Vlog skills are improving immensely. Keep up the great work! PS: your barrrel riding skills are siiiiick! :)
Such a sick Video 😍😍
Great video, keep up the wonderful work! Aloha
gnarliest video ever
The drop at 11:02 was godly
Great footage, well edited mate!
you killed it
Talent.
Being honest, I'd be terrified walking onto the deck ea. morning and seeing it tripled in size. It would be that 1 return flight I'd pay full rare w/o reservations to get outta there.
You killed it; Love living precariously thru your vlogs, especially that last drainer I dropped into.
The first morning I walked out I was terrified haha. Never surfed it before and it was huge. It’s such a perfect channel though, you don’t have to worry much about being caught by a wave.
Cheers for the heads up Gravy🤙
Every video is better then the last
That’s awesome how everyone is taking videos and pictures of u in the barrel
YEW!
These are sick videos. Keep it up
last 2 were hella gnar
Impressive, good work .
You have such awesome content and such a good editor.
CoreeIsMe thank you! I do all the editing :)
No way! That gives me even more respect to you. Thanks for working hard and inspiring others. I spend a lot of time in OBX, so maybe I'll see you around some day! :)
@@CoreeIsMe Any video on my channel over the last 12 years was edited by me. I've been into it since I was 12 or 13.
Good god you were deep on that last one! Nice vlog.
Congrats bro!
great video!
are you the first North Carolinian to surf Teahupoo? if not then i am sure one of the few
how to repay the boys for all the help. 1 - get them some Hatteras hurricane barrels 2 - cook them some red fish, cobia, sheepshead (whatever is caught when you take them fishing) on the grill 3 - get something tasty from orange blossoms bakery 4 - and more hurricane barrels
No there’s been a few who have surfed it. Not sure how many though 🤔
Wat late on seeing this Vid but that was awesome dude
Really Bret. Looks like you scored. Lifes good.
