Quiksilver South Africa are proud to announce the Ultimate Wave Tahiti IMAX movie, to be shown at the IMAX Theatre, Gateway. The movie features Kelly Slater and Raimana Van Bastolaer surfing one of the planet’s most challenging waves, Tahiti’s Teahupo’o.

The Ultimate Wave Tahiti focuses on Tahiti and the volcanic islands of French Polynesia, home to the Polynesian seafaring culture and some of the world’s most challenging surfing, as well as astounding coral reef ecosystems that are the interface between the island and the ocean.

“Making The Ultimate Wave Tahiti while surfing Teahupo’o was an amazing experience,” says Slater, nine times world champ. “The technology used to create this film is going to help audiences understand the incredible power behind waves and will further educate future generations to protect the world’s oceans.”
