On Wednesday, May 7th, Teahupo'o saw the first very solid swell of the season. It was very big, right on the line between paddle and tow, with both crews giving it their collective best. Turned out local Eimeo Czermak snagged the wave of the day, paddling -- arguably one of the biggest waves ever caught without a ski. Longtime local Tikanui Smith, who watched from the channel, said, "maybe one of the best paddle waves at Teahupoo." And we believe him. <br /><br />The swell itself, according to chief forecaster Kevin Wallis, was "the result of a strong but not crazy, eye-popping storm. But what it lacked in strength, it made up for in track and location. It moved almost directly at Tahiti over the last few days and the peak seas only occurred only 1000-1500 miles away. Close enough to create pumping surf, but not bad wind and weather."<br /><br />Wallis offered some more telling intel: "Perhaps the most interesting thing was the swell period — not long, 15-16 seconds, with the shorter swell period, which meant that the even the largest waves were at least somewhat approachable for the paddle crew. And Eimeo paddled into one of the biggest waves I’ve ever seen at the End of the Road." <br /><br />*Worth noting: Surfline's EPIC rating only happens a few times per year, when the forecast team -- not the models -- deems a swell truly special. <br /><br />Filmed by: Tim Pruvost, Kim Mean, Boris Martinet <br />and Blaise Booth<br /><br />Edited by: Nick Liotta<br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://www.surfline.com/<br /> ----------------------------------

Before the most recent Maps to Nowhere trip, which featured a perfect, reeling sand-bottomed left pointbreak. We asked San Clemente’s Ian Crane: how do you decide what boards to bring to a place you’ve never been? <br /><br />He foraged through his garage, called his shaper Matt Biolos, and came up with a few boards (and a bunch of Malaria meds) that’d cover all the bases, from soft, playful walls to running tubes. <br /><br />Here’s the what he brought:<br /><br />Whiplash 6.0” x 18.88” x 2.44” x 29 liters / Thruster<br />Sub-Driver 2.0 5’10.5” x 19.15” x 2.42” x 28.5 liters / Thruster<br />RNF96 5’6” x 19.5” x 2.4” x 29 liters / 2+ 1<br />Slab Blaster 5’8" x 19.25" x 2.44" x 29 liters / Quad (model designed originally for Mason Ho for, as Biolos said, “tight, slabby reef tubes”)<br /><br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://www.surfline.com/<br /> ----------------------------------

"The double-edged sword about sand points is that they change," said Outer Banks-based sand aficionado Brett Barley in the clip above. “[They] can be really bad for a number of years and then get really good. Because of that, people will always be searching and new waves will keep popping up, or be reimagined."<br /><br />The sentiment perfectly sums up the gamble taken in the latest episode of Maps to Nowhere, Surfline and O’Neill’s ongoing series that aims to put the O’Neill team into empty perfection. There was a swell and there was a point — that much we knew — but would the sand be right?<br /><br />Along with Brett, Soli Bailey, Ian Crane and Sarah Baum ventured halfway across the world to find what Soli called, "the best left point I've ever seen."<br /><br />Executive Producers:<br />Ross Garrett<br />Johnny Marcon<br />Taylor Paul<br />Graham Nash<br />Taylor Divine<br />Kieran Horn<br />Garth Tarlow<br /><br />Written and Directed by:<br />Alan van Gysen<br />Will Bendix<br />Now Now Media <br /><br />Produced by:<br />Alan van Gysen<br />Billy Watts<br /><br />Edited by:<br />Sean Benik<br />Matt Hogan<br />Graham Nash<br /><br />Art Direction by:<br />Noa Emberson<br /><br />Filmed by:<br />Alan van Gysen<br />Will Bendix<br />Paul Daniel<br />Billy Watts<br />Brett Barley <br /><br />Creative Direction:<br />Taylor Paul<br />Graham Nash<br /><br />Forecasters:<br />Charlie Hutcherson<br />Kurt Korte<br />Kevin Wallis<br />Schaler Perry <br /><br />Surfers:<br />Soli Bailey<br />Ian Crane<br />Brett Barley <br />Sarah Baum<br /><br />Photography:<br />Alan van Gysen<br />Billy Watts<br /><br />Archival Footage:<br />Travis Kuhlman <br /><br />Music Supervisor:<br />Tim Scanlin<br /><br />Music Credits:<br />“Indian Tiger” Performed by Sun Atlas<br />Courtesy of Dirty Laundry Music<br /><br />“Sky World”<br />Performed by Sun Atlas<br />Courtesy of Dirty Laundry Music<br /><br />“Jordan Trail”<br />Performed by Dr.Ew <br />Courtesy of Anu Rama Records<br /><br />Thank You:<br />A special thanks to all the local people and guides whose support and expertise made this episode possible.<br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://www.surfline.com/<br /> ----------------------------------
