EPK Collection brings you Polynesian Perfection in collaboration with Surfline.
Don’t be fooled by the beauty of Polynesian Perfection. This isn’t your father’s perfect wave, and unless seeing your next birthday doesn’t rank on your list of priorities, it isn’t yours either. Tahiti’s Teahupoo (pronounced cho-po) is essentially a glorified closeout — a hideous, deadly barrel promising a heap of trouble for even the most capable of surfers. In recent years, professional contests and high-profile tow-ins have bombarded us with images of her seemingly flawless barrels, but no other surf spot extracts a higher toll than Teahupoo, the heaviest wave in the world.
Ages ago, freshwater from the mountains flowed into the ocean, eroding the reef and creating what is known today as Passe Havae. The pass is located where the town’s paved road ends, thus its early name, “The End of the Road.” The channel at Teahupoo isn’t actually a channel at all, as the wave bends and races along into a below sea level dry reef closeout. A 15-minute paddle from land, Teahupoo’s severe shape results from a drastic change in gradient as powerful swells leave a gently sloping bottom and are hurled forward by the reef. The lip — as thick as it is tall — pitches with such velocity that one must take off under it to avoid being launched. Guts alone may cut it at some big-wave venues, but here they’ll get you killed. An iron sack must be accompanied by finesse in negotiating a wave that has relegated Pipeline to mere warm-up status.
With this Limited Edition photographic print you can feel the excitement of paddling up to one of the world’s most perfect waves from the comfort of your home! Collect Polynesian Perfection and the other iconic wave images from our Surfline collection.

ULTRABOARD
Ultraboard is our most popular mounting choice as it allows a premium modern look at a reasonable price.
Combining the same high definition printing and finishing process as our EPK posters, the image is fused to the Ultraboard which raises the image a ½-inch off the wall for a premium look. Ultraboard is lightweight, super strong, and perfectly flat to ensure maximum viewing angles. Each Ultraboard is hand packed in a special foam lined fit-to-size shipping box, to ensure safe delivery. Hanging materials are included.

ACRYLIC
Acrylic is the pinnacle of mounting options and is used by the best fine art galleries across the world.
Acrylic mounting is the process where we use the finest photographic paper and directly face mount the paper to premium optically correct acrylic. By using only premium photographic paper, we are able to reproduce billions of shades of color. When you face mount premium photographic paper to the acrylic, the image becomes so “alive” people will think your image is back lit. Color, clarity, and detail are all enhanced by the acrylic mounting.
EPK uses only the finest, optically correct acrylic to ensure maximum clarity, color and durability. The acrylic mounting sits a 3/4” off the wall and has a black substrate for a timeless modern look. Each acrylic mount receives our white glove custom packing process to ensure safe home delivery. A “French” cleat mounting kit is included with your acrylic mounting purchase.
