Picture of the week : surfing Teahupoo @ Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024



Gabriel Medina @ Teahupoo
 
Lilou Valero: "I took this photo from the platform of a boat in the channel at the end of the Teahupo'o wave. I was elevated as if on a turret to get a 360° view, which enabled me to anticipate this magnificent wave exit.
Gabriel Medina initially disappeared behind the lip but, coming from video, I'm used to capturing the action from start to finish, from take-off to kick-out.
So I continued to follow him even though I no longer had him in my frame.
And when I saw him exit, I was happily still shooting.
Looking at the photo, I immediately saw something peculiar.
You could feel it on the spot and it's a pretty magical moment that I'm glad I captured."
