“No matter how much I wanted all those things I needed money to buy, there was some devilish current pushing me off in another direction—towards anarchy and poverty and craziness. That maddening delusion that a man can lead a decent life without hiring himself out as a Judas Goat.”

Teahupo’o is a reef break on the Southwest coast of Tahiti.  It throws off a hideous, deadly barrel affectionately known as “the end of the road.”  The wave is heavy and the closeouts are savage.  It exacts a devastating toll, as evidenced in this slo-mo video.  Enjoy the surf porn, and take comfort in the knowledge that you are safe on dry land.
