Tahitian tropical paradise at the Tahiti Pro in Teahupo’o, Tahiti
The Tahiti Pro is the tenth stop on the new 2022 Championship Tour Season and the last stop before the Rip Curl WSL Finals. If it’s a slice of paradise you’re after, few places compare to Tahiti. An event unique unto itself, the Tahiti Pro Teahupo’o harkens back to the “Dream Tour” ethos that former tour president Rabbit Bartholomew instilled in pro surfing.
Your experience at the Tahiti Pro
Putting the best surfers in the best waves, the break at Teahupo’o is just that. A shallow reef that’s taken its fair share of skin over the years, Teahupo’o translated means “Wall of Skulls.” Located at the proverbial end of the road, there literally isn’t anywhere else to go once you arrive at “Chopes.” There’s one restaurant and no hotels. All of the surfers and WSL staff typically stay with local families and depend on them to feed them.
Thanks to the country’s embrace and hospitality, it’s one of the most popular stops on tour. And when the wave turns on, there’s really nothing like a huge Teahupo’o barrel.
How to get to Teahupo’o
By air – Fly to the capital of Tahiti Papeete, Fa’a’ā International Airport. From there it’s an hour and a half drive south around the island for 72 km’s until you get to the village of Teahupo’o.

Most Grateful,
