   I heard the Olympics are holding the surfing event in French Polynesia instead of Paris to get way better waves, but I just learned they’re surfing the Teahupo'o outer break which is one of the gnarliest waves on the planet.

   I’m legit worried about surfer safety and there’s definitely a non-zero chance someone might accidentally die in the event.
