Lage auf Tahiti
Teahupoʻo (auch Chopes genannt) ist ein Ort an der Südküste Tahitis in Französisch-Polynesien mit 1.455 Einwohnern (2022).[1] Vor dem Ort liegt ein bekannter Surfspot, er war Austragungsort des Surfwettbewerbs der Olympischen Sommerspiele 2024.
Surfen
Teahupoʻo ist für seine kraftvollen, hohl brechenden Wellen bekannt. Diese Welle und das für die Wellenbildung verantwortliche Korallenriff, welches bis zu 50 cm unter die Wasseroberfläche reicht, haben dem Spot den Ruf eingebracht, besonders gefährlich zu sein.
Während die durchschnittliche Wellenhöhe im Sommer 1–1,30 Meter (3–4 Fuß) beträgt, kann die Welle im Winter deutlich über drei Meter Höhe erreichen.
Geschichte
Der Tahitianer Thierry Vernaudon behauptete 1985 erstmals, zusammen mit einigen Freunden auf Teahupoʻo gesurft zu sein. Bei dieser Aktion handelte es sich allerdings nachweislich um relativ kleine Wellen, die nicht mit den monströsen Brechern der heutigen „Big Wave Sessions“ zu vergleichen sind. 1986 entdeckten einige Bodyboarder die Welle für sich, während es bis 1998 dauerte, bis Teahupoʻo auch unter Wellenreitern den berechtigten Ruf als „Heaviest Wave in the World“ erlangte.
Zu Ruhm gelangte die Welle, als der hawaiische Tow-in-Surfer Laird Hamilton am 17. August 2000 einen spektakulären Ritt wagte, der unter anderem in der Surf-Dokumentation Riding Giants zu sehen ist.
World Surf League
Teahupoʻo ist eine der Stationen der World Surf League (früher ASP World Tour).

Olympische Sommerspiele 2024
Die Surfwettbewerbe der Olympischen Sommerspiele 2024 fanden vom 27. Juli bis zum 6. August 2024 in Teahupoʻo statt.[3][4] Mit 15.760 Kilometern Luftlinie nach Paris entfernt handelt es sich um die größte Distanz zwischen dem Hauptaustragungsort und einer Wettkampfstätte in der Geschichte der olympischen Spiele.[5] Die ursprünglich geplanten Baumaßnahmen im Riff, unter anderem ein 14 Meter hoher Aluminiumturm für die Juroren und Medien, riefen bei Umweltschützern und Surfern Proteste hervor. Das Bauvorhaben wurde nicht umgesetzt und der bereits bestehende judges' tower auch für die Olympischen Wettbewerbe genutzt. Ebenso wird das Verletzungsrisiko durch das knapp unter der Wasseroberfläche liegende Riff kritisiert.[6][7][3]

Ia Orana! I took my first real vacation in 3 years, deciding to turn 50 in beautiful Tahiti. I stayed in Papeete on the island of Tahiti, but also spent my birthday in an over-water bungalow in Huahine, and also spent a day on Moorea. Thanks to my host family (maruuru!), I got to visit many cultural and natural sights, tried a lot of native food, and despite spending the week sweating, had a wonderful time, living as both a tourist and native.
French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France, comprises more than 100 islands in the South Pacific, stretching for more than 2,000km. Divided into the Austral, Gambier, Marquesas, Society and Tuamotu archipelagos, they're known for their coral-fringed lagoons and over-the-water bungalow hotels. Island features include white- and black-sand beaches, mountains, rugged backcountry and towering waterfalls.

Teahupoʻo (Te-a-hu-po-o, popular pronunciation is CHO-PO) is a village on the south-west coast of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, southern Pacific Ocean. It is known for the surf break and heavy, glassy waves offshore, often reaching 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft), and sometimes up to 7 meters (21 feet). It is the site of the annual Billabong Pro Tahiti surf competition, part of the World Championship Tour (WCT) of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour surfing circuit and used to be one stop in the World Tour of the International Bodyboarding Association. Bodyboarding pioneers Mike Stewart and Ben Severson were the first to surf Teahupo'o in 1986 and it soon became an underground spot for thrill-seeking bodyboarders. Few professional surfers rode Teahupo'o during the early 1990s and it was only in 1998, at the Gotcha Tahiti Pro, that Teahupo'o became widely recognized as having some of the heaviest waves in the world. On August 17, 2000 Laird Hamilton is credited with surfing the "heaviest wave" ever ridden, documented in the film Riding Giants. In 2003 the late Malik Joyeux successfully rode one of the largest waves ever ridden.
