Australian Molly Picklum is training for Olympic surfing and had a day she will never forget.
The sea was solid, he went early and took advantage to do some step offs in Teahupoo.
According to him, when he took the wave he did a fade, which was the mistake in the course because he left it too far behind. Later, he laughs because instead of doing speed pumps he moved the board but did not advance much.
“It was my worst wipeout but also the best view of my life,” he concludes of the ride that ended in a terrifying wipeout. Not only on that wave but also on the ones that followed, which he took on his head.
And the day had just begun.
DUKE's presence in Tahiti to cover Olympic surfing is also possible thanks to Xavier Aguirre, Philippe Demarsan, Pepe Gelos, Chifle Perez del Castillo, Juanja Vargas, Mateo Christodulu, Josefina and Tomas Barbe, Monica Ugalde, Pilar Aguerrebere, Edu Fernandez, Wilma Ehni, Guzman Sari and Gonzalo Madrid.
