KITE TOW IN VIDIn July, pro freesurfer Malik Joyeux achieved a world first by tow-kiting into the legendary Teahupoo wave.
Towed in by his kite-surfer brother Teiva, Malik started out in the trough of one of the most dangerous waves the planet has to offer. At the critical moment, Malik let go of the tow line to glide on the liquid monster and come out again a few seconds later. Malik and Teiva are the first to attempt and succeed in combining the two sports to tame the world's biggest waves.
Normally, surfers use a jet ski to surf giant waves. With tow-kiting, they can now go out and surf swells it would be impossible to get to on a jet-ski or by other means.
Malik Joyeux is a Tahitian surfer. At the tender age of 23, he is acknowledged for his feats on the planet's most dangerous waves. In 2003, he rode the biggest wave ever surfed in Tahiti. After Laird Hamilton in 2000, young Malik, then aged 21, made his mark by taming Teahupoo that day.
Today, with their most recent achievement, he and his brother have started a new chapter in the history of giant waves, pushing back the limits yet again.
