Tim McKenna Documents the Heaving Waves of French Polynesia — Colossal
SHARE

Teahupo’o, a village located on Tahiti’s southeastern coast, boasts a shallow and precipitous coral reef system that creates a unique surf break, resulting in some of the largest waves on Earth. These powerful, barreling surges draw in surfers from around the world, including photographer Tim McKenna.

From a young age, McKenna surfed on the west coasts of France and later Australia. He’s deeply fascinated by the power of the ocean and its constant mood changes from serene ripples to towering swells. The photographer began documenting waves as he rode in their heaving movements and eventually settled in Teahupo’o, where he’s lived for more than 20 years.

McKenna’s photography captures the raw energy and beauty of the waves at Teahupo’o, showcasing the immense power and majesty of the ocean. His black and white images convey the drama and intensity of the waves as they crash down on themselves, creating stunning visual contrasts.

You can explore more of McKenna’s captivating work on his website and Instagram. His images serve as a reminder of the awe-inspiring force of nature and the thrill of riding the waves in one of the world’s most challenging surf spots.
