All eyes have been on Hawaii for the last month or so as Pipeline and Jaws awakened with the first huge swell of the season in October.
Kai Lenny and his maniacal crew charged huge Jaws and released epic footage. Meanwhile, over on the North Shore, Strider Wasilewski, Jamie O’Brien, and Nathan and John John Florence scored pumping Pipeline over and over again.
But now, Tahiti’s legendary lefthander, Teahupo’o, has awakened and Jacob “Zeke” Szekely was there to score.
Zeke captioned the edit above:
“My Best Friend Skip McCullough & I saw a Huge Swell pop up, so we booked our flights less than 24 Hours before the Flight, hopped on a plane, and set out to score Firing Teahupo’o! Enjoy, Yewww!”
“Hopefully I don’t die at Teahupo’o,” Zeke says at the top of the video.
Needless to say, Zeke and Skip are psyched to surf Teahupo’o and other pros are too, like Josh and Sierra Kerr, Molly Picklum, Lennox Smith, Moana Jones, and John Mel.
“All the local boys will guaranteed hold it down in the session tomorrow,” Zeke says. “I’m fired up to be back in Tahiti.”
In the end, Zeke ends up scoring all-time Chopes.
Press play to see for yourself.
Viewers were stoked on the video and Zeke’s overall stoke in the edit. Check out a few comments below:
“Nice words Zeke, you’re a good dude”
“Love your energy Zeke. Keep up the great work.”
“Zeke, stoked on your attitude. Surfing is so beneficial to the mind and body. No drugs needed just pure stoke. Charge hard and stay safe.”
