Sailor James visits The Outerknown Tahiti Pro Surf Competition at TEAHUPO'O 2022 with Nate P Mayer

Episode #268 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,
On this weeks episode I head out to watch one of the biggest surf competitions in the world, The Outerknown Tahiti Pro at Teahupo’o. I was invited to head out to the end of the road in Tahiti with a fellow sailor and cinematographer, Nate P Meyer ( www.instagram.com/natepmeyer ) Nate flew in from Montana to film and Competition so I tagged along and we headed out on the water on a taxi boat sitting right at the surf break.

I am not overly knowledgable about professional surfing but I have of course heard of Kelly Slater and it was incredible to watch him surf so close by. https://www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2022/ct/11/outerknown-tahiti-pro/main

We also ended up making some new friends, Jay West and Hunter Paris. (You will see another adventure me and Jay got into on Moorea)

This was easily one of the most amazing experiences of my life, If you ever had the chance to go out on a boat (WITH A HIGHLY SKILLED CAPTAIN) to see a surf break like this up close and personal, make sure you DO IT!!!! I want to thank https://www.teahupooadventure.com for an amazing and safe day on the water! If you go to Tahiti hit them up and book a day on the water (and no I did not get a free trip in exchange of promoting them, I paid full price and would gladly do it again!)
