December 9th, 2009

Yesterday, December 8th 2009, was the first time since 2004 that the Eddie was a go. By 8am Waimea Bay was packed full of people watching the first heats paddle out into 40′+ waves.

Good chance of the Eddie happenning

December 3rd, 2009

There is a gigantic swell heading towards the north shore of Oahu right now. They’re predicting faces of 30-40′ on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

This means that there’s a great chance that the Big wave invatational in memory of Eddie Aikau will go off.

Excited to feel the rumble of the waves breaking on the shore :)
