Those tuning in to watch Olympic surfboarding on Saturday got more than they bargained for after the waves in Tahiti partially undressed German surfer Tim Elter.
Why was he in Tahiti if he was competing in the Olympics?
Good question. The waves in France are not nearly Olympic-caliber. So, the surfing events are being held in Tahiti, where the waves form a more formidable challenge.
As you can see in the video, the waves proved more than a sufficient challenge to Elter’s wardrobe.

The German man lost his shorts and we had a bare bum and the commentators didn’t even mention it!! pic.twitter.com/6nhAAqauOo
The cameras captured the moment, but it’s not clear that the announcers did as they let the indecent exposure pass without any comment whatsoever. Nonetheless, the camera and the internet can see everything and never forget it. So, if Tim Elter thought he would escape and have that moment vanish into the abyss as his pants did, he’s wrong.
Sorry, Tim.
