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 
This week is shaping up to be some great surf on both the north and south shores of Oahu. 7′+ faces and low winds are predicted to span over 5 or more days. I plan on trying out some newly discovered spots that have epic potential with head high swell. Stay tuned for reports!
Now that I have your attention, I’m excited to announce that this year’s surf film festival will premiere 4 new surf films in Hawaii. The festival kicks off on July 10 and ends on July 24, with opening / closing nights offering free beer and cheap tasty grindz.
The event will be held at the Doris Duke Theater. The Academy will raffle off a prized Wade Tokoro surfboard. Everyone who purchases a ticket will be entered in the raffle.
