yeah it's nice doing it all in no wind... but looking at the size I would say Gnaraloo has a better wave most days in September/ October.
This was a small day for Teahupoo afterall...
... would have been good to see them do this when it's really big.
OMG!
well that will shutup the surfers i work with..... 
p.s. i added it to the video thread.
It really isn't the same as when it is surfed. I wouldn't try to use that to impress a surfer. The footage from the last JP movie was a lot better. That was a bunch of shoulder hopping backdoor euro trash. The last wave was pretty big though.
And Laird in that photo could be at least another 5 metres deeper. Shoulder hopper
wave would be a whole lot chunkier....
The JP movie was "About time" - he sails and tows in - and eats s**t big time.
Check the pictures from SA's west coast - the Fantastic noodles junior pro - could be the next big wave windsurfing challenge.
this is jason at teahupoo from about time.
wave would be a whole lot chunkier....

found this on the web. feeling sick just looking at it. I bet you could also ride the suck down from the reef for about 5 meters before you get munched:
Um yer, i would not even like to be where those surfers are, that place would scare the ** out of me, and i also cant really go left which would be a problem..
From what I hear I think Baptiste Gossein (the french dude in the windsurfing movie) bust his back on the reef there while surfing a few days ago. Big wave, big consequences. All the best to the bloke
just got the new windsurf mag. shows JP charging a 15 footer at teahupoo. awesome footage.
^ Tim McKenna caught all of the action.

I met A bloke in SA in july from Cactus, he was telling me how he saw sunny or paul gravelle get fully barrelled at castles and then get shot out with by the wind in the barrell propelling him out like he was doing an aerial, he landed and kept sailing.
A solid surfer who had no idea you couldn't do that at will, so i believed him.
Wow, I went to Cactus with a bunch of Gero/pom guys probably 21 years ago now. Is sunny still living in that place with the stubbie wall? and he is still charging by the sound of it. he is a character. We went in Don Diegos van which **** itself and traumatised us poor euros but we did have a memorable trip. It was good to get back to WA with some decent wind I remember
