Featuring nine-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and Tahitian surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer, Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D follows a quest to find the perfect wave-riding experience in the first ever film to use extreme surfing to focus on the science of waves.
The film was primarily shot in the big wave environment known to watermen around the world as Teahupoo in Tahiti .The two surfers combine to blend various aspects of wave development and the island cultures they affect. Directed by award-winning director Stephen Low and his team of in-water and airborne cameramen, Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D captures the power, majesty, and danger exhibited by ocean waves reaching their crescendo.
Newly developed camera equipment was used to bring the theatre-goer into the heart of these giant waves, capturing for the first time the energy and sounds familiar only to a handful of surfing's best.
