The video is from competition surfing, the waves are not sneaking up on them and taking them surprise as the first post suggests.
I'm not saying the wave isn't real, I've seen video's of people surfing those bigs waves before, I just wonder about the surfers perched on it, that's what seems like it is probably photoshopped.
This is supposed to be in tahiti?
I sent it to snopes for further review
