Perfect Day - SURFER Magazine January - It may be that Teahupoo has never looked more friendly, more inviting, more…perfect. Maybe this wave doesn’t look as dangerous as those we’ve come to expect from the Tahitian beast, but Raimana Van Bastolear (the one relishing the tube) describes this September day as “The best day of the year.” Hard not to believe the local Tahitian: Beautiful blue water, groomed swell, bright sunshine, and only a local crew of surfers that included Malik Joyeux, Vetea “Poto” David, Arsene Hareho and Manoa Drollet. For more glimpses at perfection across the globe.
