If the last clip we posted featured Teahupo’o at its angriest, then this clip by Nathan Florence features the South Pacific behemoth at its most serene. Gin clear blue water groomed perfectly by the most laconic puff of offshore wind. The stunning coral reef below, lush mountains reaching to the clouds above. Waves in the six-foot range piping perfectly into the channel. Dare we say it even looks friendly? Perhaps even approachable for the everyday surfer with a bit of tube nous? Whatever it is, it’ll be the closest any of us will get to being tubed at an exotic reef pass today.
