By Saxon Chang

This powerful image captures the raw beauty and immense power of Teahupoo, one of the world’s most formidable and perfect slab waves located in Tahiti, French Polynesia.

In this moment, the wave’s signature thick lip doesn’t merely rise up but rather hurls itself forward, creating a massive wall of brilliant turquoise water that appears to defy physics as it forms a perfect barrel. 

A limited edition of 500. For larger prints, please call the Galleries for pricing.
