World-renowned surf photographer and filmmaker Tim McKenna released “Waves Story,” a short movie featuring professional freediver Arnaud Jerald.
Teahupoo, one of the world’s most dangerous waves and the Olympic surfing venue for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is the center stage of a unique underwater exploration.
“Waves Story” reveals how world freediving champion and world record holder Arnaud Jerald explores the famous barreling surf spot in a very unusual way.
The French athlete explores the infamous Tahitian reef break guided by the overpowering flow of the magical liquid cylinder.
“The film is like a tribute to my childhood because I have always loved playing with the waves as a kid, and my dream was to be able to do it in Teahupoo,” explains Jerald.
