Watch: Kyron Rathbone // The Kids Of Teahupoo
Continuing his tropical dalliance, Kyron Rathbone swapped Indonesia for French Polynesia, holing up at Havea Lodge directly opposite the wave at Teahupoo.
High season in Tahiti sees multiple large swells slam the reef, and this year didn't disappoint, but there were also the relatively playful days when the next gen of Teahupoo shrugged off trepidation and lept into the mix.
Stay tuned for more videos from Kyron, plus a forecast for the upcoming Tahiti Pro

Great editing, filmed from the water shows it how it is! Kyron is a Surfers film maker. Credit to those young surfers going for it too.
Looking forward to watching these groms come through the ranks! Yewww!
Kelia can backside barrel ride better than the bulk of the womens CT - throw her in the trials!
she's up against molly and lakey in her first heat, @spaceman, can't wait.
Great record of those kids, Kyron, love the editing, arty shots between (and during!) rides, the froth, and the mix of makes and stacks.
(coupla surprising take-aways: Turpel's pronunciation of teauo-phuo-po'oh'o is actually pretty good, hearing local kids say it : o
