Billy Kemper has declared that Matahi Drollet likely caught one of the most remarkable waves in the history of Teahupoo during an XXL session on July 28. This surf spot continues to build its legendary status, especially after hosting unforgettable moments like Kauli Vaast’s triumph at the Paris Olympic Games last year.

Among them was local surfer Matahi Drollet, who managed to ride the standout wave of the day—an impressive feat noted as “the best paddled wave in the history of Teahupoo” by expert Billy Kemper. Kyron Rathbone filmed the event, capturing the extraordinary atmosphere and the talent of surfers like Tereva David, Eimeo Czermack, Mateia Hiquily, Gilbert Teave, Peio Ostolozaga, and Manake’i Keikahiha, who were also there to enjoy the action.
