During the Air Tahiti Nui Billabong Pro Trials, Kevin Bourez (PYF) had a critical wipeout at Teahupo'o but is now in stable condition. Several media outlets reported, incorrectly, that the video above captured the accident. In fact, the clip is of Tahitian charger Tikanui Smith taking a tumble at the notorious reef break.
