Lokhu kungase kube elinye lamagagasi okukhulunywa ngawo kakhulu, asatshwayo, futhi asabekayo emhlabeni, khona kanye lapho ngePipeline eHawaii. Selokhu kwavela ividiyo kaLaird Hamilton edonsa lesi silo, imihlathi yabatshuzi beyilokhu ishaya phansi ngokumangala. I-Teahupoo itholakala ekupheleni komgwaqo eTahiti Iti, ekude futhi enhle, kodwa uma i-SW ikhukhula emanzini isilo siyavuka. Okwenza leli gagasi mhlawumbe libe nzima kakhulu emhlabeni akukona ukuphakama, kodwa amanzi amaningi abeka amandla ngemuva kwamagagasi. Uma ishaya phezulu kathathu, iyayeka ukuba yinde, futhi ilokhu iqina. Imvelo ye-bathymetry (ezansi kolwandle) lapha yenza amanzi angaphambi kwegagasi amunce kanzima, ngakho ugcina usuntweza ngaphansi kwezinga lolwandle. Ngemuva kwegagasi akubonakali nokunyuka kwamanzi, isisindo sonke solwandle iPacific sizobe sikwehlele uma uke waba nebhadi lokulidla. Umphongolo wesandla sokunxele mfishane, ungamamitha angama-50 kuye kwayi-100, kodwa ngenxa yamandla egagasi uphonseka ngendlela ecishe ibe unxande, ukude kakhulu kunobude. Ukwenza ithonsi uzobe usuka ngaphansi kodebe uma ukhudlwana, ungenalo ithuba lokuphuma ngebheyili (ukuzama kuzokutholela ithikithi lendlela eyodwa phezu kwezimpophoma, okuyingozi kakhulu). Ngale kwamandla athile, ayigwegweki, nakuba ochwepheshe beqhubeka nokubeka engcupheni konke ukuze bakhiphe umkhawulo lapha. Isikhalazo singomunye wemiphongolo ekahle kakhulu emhlabeni uma ivuliwe futhi incane, kanye nokugibela okuqine kakhulu nokusindayo lapho usayizi uphakama. I-coral reef ayishoni kakhulu futhi idume ngokusika igciwane. Ukuntweza lapha uma uphezu kwekhanda eliphindwe kabili kufanele ube yingcweti, lapho abaphakathi nabancane bengakwazi ukusampula imiphongolo efanelekile. Uma ingaphandle kweqembu lakho ngicela uhlale esiteshini futhi ubukele usezikebheni, ukubona lezi zindonga zamanzi ziqhuma kuwumbono omangalisayo.
Yiziphi izimo ezingcono kakhulu zokuntweza e-Teahupoo?
Iba muhle phakathi kokuphakama kwesifuba nokudonsa ngosayizi. Ibhodi elifushane lizokwenza ize lifike phezulu, bese liya phezulu lize lingakwazi ukugwedla (noma yini ende izolimaza ngaphezu kosizo), bese kuba ibhodi lokudonsa. Leli khefu lifanele abatshuzi bezinga eliphakathi ukuya kwabachwepheshe. I-surf lapha iyashintshana ngandlela thize futhi idonsa ngosayizi owedlula yonke i-Tahiti (6/10). Kuzogcwala kakhulu kulezi zinsuku (9/10). Umoya okahle yiNyakatho-mpumalanga. Ukukhukhumala okuhle kakhulu kuvela eNingizimu noma eNingizimu-ntshonalanga. Isebenza kuwo wonke amagagasi.
Sincoma ukugqoka ama-boardshorts noma i-bikini unyaka wonke. Amazinga okushisa amanzi aphakathi kuka-26 no-29. Bheka ishadi lokushisa elingezansi ukuze uthole idatha eyengeziwe ngalokhu.
