Watch 12-Year-Old Naiki Vaast Get Pushed Into a Sizeable Teahupo’o Tube

It’s not like getting pushed in at Doeheny, that’s for sure.

Teahupo’o gets gigantic. But even when it’s in the medium range, some beastly waves’ll sneak through the lineup. Well, this one didn’t go unridden. Naiki Vaast got a big “thank-you” push from older brother Kauli on this sneaker, but how about the size of that drop compared to his 12-year-old frame? Sheesh! Kid’s wearin’ a Gath for a reason. He’s charging. The footage comes from Florian Rey via the WSL as the League begins its in-house marketing campaign for the Tahiti Pro Teahupo’o, August 21.
