Triumph and tragedy at Teahupoo Trials - photos
Six to eight foot barrels exploded onto razor sharp reef for the Teahupoo Trials yesterday. Tuamata Puhetini and Nathan Hedge finished 1st and 2nd respectively to win wildcards into the prestigious Billabong Pro Tahiti. But with the reward came the risk — Kevin Bourez, younger brother of Michel Bourez, suffered an horrific wipeout, going head first into the reef.
