When you’re driving a boat in surf mecca of Teahupoʻo in Tahiti it only takes a moment’s lapse in concentration or a slight miscalculation and you have a serious situation on your hands. Such was case last week when a boat loaded with photographers were a bit late in getting over the crest and went nearly vertical before slapping down. Several passengers were ejected into the water (not a safe place given the incoming waves) but thankfully there were some of the best water rescue professionals in the world in the vicinity and they swarmed the scene on their jetskis. No injuries were reported.
