16 years after the release of my best seller coffee table book “Teahupoo, Tahiti’s Mythical Wave” my tahitian publisher is releasing a new opus called
“Teahupoo, The Miracle at the End of the Road”
For the moment it’s only released in Tahiti in a French language version.
It contains all my best photos spanning from 1997 to this day.
272 pages , 250 photos, 23 writers
An updated version of the book will be released in 2025 in France and in English with an extra chapter on the
@paris2024 Olympic Games surfing event happening late July at the
#endoftheroad
Huge appreciation to the dream team that made it happen.
Special thanks to both my friends and wonderful writers, with whom we master minded the project through the years
