Wearing a brain bucket for protection gives 12 year-old Tahitian local, Kauli Vaast, all the confidence he needs to conquer Chopes. Once he has his helmet strapped-on the rest is a walk in the park.
At least it appears so, as he casually rides these solid waves at the notorious Teahupo’o with style to burn.
Who’d like to wager a bet that he’ll be the Billabong Pro Tahiti champ in 2020?
Holy crap 12 years old and taking on chopes, think we need to watch this kid.
