Matahi Drollet: The One and Only • Matahi Drollet is a 24-year-old surfer born into Teahupo’o royalty. Son of an iconic boat driver and younger brother to the legendary Tahitian freesurfer, Manoa. Aged 16, he won the XXL Award for one of the biggest waves ridden at the infamous slab. Since then, he has risen to the apex of the pecking order, mentoring the next generation of Chopes chargers. Thoughtful, patient, but with a showman’s desire to perform, we dive deep into a man that could shape how surfing’s most famous wave is ridden over the next decade.
