Niccolo Porcella Chopes Wipeout

August 17, 2015

Teahupoo, Tahiti, is a pretty crazy place at the best of times, but when Italian surfer Niccolo Porcella let go of the rope on July 22, 2015, we're pretty sure he didn't plan on getting one of the best entries of the year to the TAG Heuer Wipeout of the Year category of the 2016 WSL Big Wave Awards. 

This is lobster diving at its best and the scariest thing we've seen in a long time.
