Giant Teahupoo Tow Day

Sometimes, it's just too big. It's rare, but it happens. This weekend, the Billabong Pro Tahiti called a lay day due to massive surf, so Bruce Irons and company went to work.

Sometimes, it’s just too big. It’s rare. But it happens. Today was one of those days at Teahupoo as the Billabong Pro Tahiti called a lay day due to massive surf. A few of the bravest pros rolled the dice with a Teahupoo tow session, and judging by the photos, Bruce Irons snagged the beast of the day. Check out more photos and videos from the Billabong Pro Tahiti at billabongpro.com/tahiti.

Here’s video proof of the insanity.

Below is a video from day seven. In conditions like these, pro surfers earn every penny (and then some).
