I am all for hyperbole in headlines, but this one has none of that. Check out one of the hardest charging female surfers in the world, Keala Kennelly from Kauai, drop into an absolute bomb at pumping Teahupo’o this week and not think twice about it. The waves were too big to paddle into, so Keala was towed into the behemoth.

One not small (at all) step for woman. One giant leap for women's surfing. @kealakennelly and the wave of the day at Teahupo'o. Photo: @brentbielmann

What a bad ass. Here is how she described the wave on her Facebook page:

#Chopes today #Tahiti #Teahupoo I thought I had a good line and was gonna pull it. Then the thing went mutant. The west bowl bent at a 45 degree angle at me right as the bottom dropped out and that thing swallowed me faster than a Tijuana prostitute 😜

Wow @kealakennelly you are nuts!! Very inspiring 😳😳 mental shot @timmckenna via @surfline
