It was filmed at Teahupo’o, Tahiti, in French Polynesia, and shows a massive swell creating huge 30-foot waves, which people came and surfed. Rather them than me.

Teahupoo is one of the most powerful and deadly waves on the planet, and breaks over a shallow reef, creating a below sea level effect. “Teahupoo” loosely translates to “place of skulls”

The shoreline has claimed the lives of five surfers since 2000.

The stunning footage was shot using a DJI Inspire and Phantom 3 drone:

Amazing.
