Boat eats series in Teahupoo pumping

Crew survives the tumble; Surfline camera captures the moment


A boat with an unknown crew survived a powerful toss-up that resulted in a swell at Teahupoo, Surfline cameras show.

In the video, the boat is seen accelerating to try to pass the breaking wave and failing in the attempt.

The same one that was roofed, capsizes and turns completely to be back on its feet and a short while later appears stranded on the reef but then back on the coast safe and sound.

According to Surfline, there were no injuries but some damage to the boat.
