Clip of the Day: Big and Slow



No this isn't a story about your grandma on the freeway earlier today. It's about videographer Chris Bryan who was at Teahupoo August 27th last year- yes that August 27th- the biggest day ever ridden at Teahupoo and the heaviest wave ever ridden anywhere. Bryan just happend to have his Phantom HD Gold camera with him and the video is stunning. It looks like something from outerspace; every drop of water is seen, every shadow, every bend in the reef, every terrified look on the surfers. Now don't expect fast action, quick edits, and a soundtrack from MGMT. This isn't a Kai Neville flick. But rather a piece of art that should be savored for 7+ minutes. So sit back, grab a cold one, and put the kids to bed because this thing is frightening.
