Teahupo'o: 1,000 feet deep to nearly dry

August 4th, 2026
The most terrifying, mesmerizing wave on Earth, explained by the people who know it best.

Watch Raimana Van Bastolaer, Vahine Fierro, Eimeo Czermak, Matahi Drollet are and Surfline Chief Forecaster Kevin Wallis as they break down exactly what makes Teahupo’o a wonder of the surf world. The reef's abrupt bathymetry. Swell direction and period. The local winds that make or break a session.

This is how every variable lines up to create the most captivating wave we know of.

Ride Channel was happy to give this documentary some additional exposure in hopes that its story can help someone struggling with mental health. <br /><br />Check out more of Ben’s film work here https://youtube.com/@benduffypresents?si=eKutdF_weZhqV3gU and @benjiorbenjamin1<br /><br />“We Are Skateboarders: A Mental Health Transformation” is an autobiographical, experimental documentary that uncovers the story behind filmmaker Ben Duffy’s first breakout film We Are Skateboarders—and the 15-year mental health battle that followed.<br /><br />At just 19 years old, Ben created a film that became the second most viewed skateboarding documentary in history, behind Dogtown and Z-Boys. But as the film gained momentum, Ben’s life unraveled. Living with undiagnosed #bipolardisorder disorder, complex PTSD, trauma, and overwhelming pressure, he began a journey that forced him to redefine what success really means.<br /><br />This raw and deeply personal documentary follows Ben as he finally steps into therapy, faces long-buried pain, and transforms suffering into creativity, healing, and self-compassion.<br />It’s a story about skateboarding, yes—but even more, it’s a story about mental health, resilience, and rebuilding a life.
