Teahupoo is the wave that has captivated surfers for generations: rising up to seven metres, it breaks some 400 metres off the south-western coast of Tahiti and served as the surf competition venue at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This photography book pays tribute to it with a collection of images that convey the full power, grace and allure of one of the world's most remote and breathtaking locations.
The photographs are by Tim McKenna, one of the world's leading action sports photographers, whose work has appeared on magazine covers and in campaigns for brands including Quiksilver, Roxy and Air France. His shots do far more than document the wave: they capture its almost hypnotic pull on the surfers who dare to ride it, offering readers a vivid and immersive visual experience.
A book to browse, gift or display: hardcover with dust jacket, rounded off by a closing section profiling today's most prominent surfers. The ideal gift for fans of surfing, photography and ocean culture.
