Get ready to watch the most badass thing you’ve seen today.
This guy doesn’t buy his coconut water for £2.50 from Asda, he picks it off a tree and husks it himself – casually, and with his teeth.
Chief Kap Te’o-Tafiti from the Polynesian Cultural Centre in Hawaii can husk a coconut with whatever’s lying around – a stick, rock, machete, his mouth. And he’s here to show you how.
