Teahupoo: Tahiti's Mythic Wave (Journey Through the World & Nature)

"The greatest wave of all is Teahupoo, more of a force of nature than just a wave. It arises off the island of Tahiti Nui only when a combination of environmental conditions combine to produce it. This mass of water has no equal on the planet: thousands of tons of water form a perfect wave, a tunnel of water as long and as terrifying as eternity, a monster of the sea is that is able to destroy anything in its path ... or almost anything. This book and its photos tell the story of the greatest wave of all. Some of the most spectacular photographs ever taken of any sport are in this volume; they are dedicated to Teahupoo and to the brave and legendary surfers who defy it."--BOOK JACKET.Tim McKenna is the author of 'Teahupoo: Tahiti's Mythic Wave (Journey Through the World & Nature)', published 2007 under ISBN 9788854403093 and ISBN 8854403091.
