CLICK HERE FOR LIVE EDDIE AIKAU AT WAIMEA BAY!

Eddie, Gaku and Zenba

ok, the mega historic swell is coming! to tell you the truth, it might be too big for the Eddie!! omg! i predict it will be on for sure with possible standby mode in the morning as it peaks. probably closing out the bay. expect waves breaking on the roads, expect houses falling into the water, and expect a lot of nervous competitors. it’s here, this is the real deal!!!!!

it’s on! Conner McGregor vs. Nate Dias on march 5th. i won’t miss that war!
202
this is Moku Manu on the east side of oahu. this cliff is 202′ high. that’s 62 meters! look good and you will see the wave breaking higher than the cliff. that’s how big and strong the last swell was. mother nature is incredible!

ok, keeping my eye on the next swell tomorrow and guess what? the swell might be too big!!! yeah, this is going to be a monster swell of the century and it’s going to hit at the perfect time tomorrow. i think waimea bay will be too big and closing out. it’s crazy that they canceled the contest 2 weeks ago because it’s too small, and might cancel the contest tomorrow if it’s too big. if i were the contest director, i would run the contest even if it’s too big. why? because these guys are watermen. they put their lives on the line to surf big waves. it’s the ultimate rush for these guys with the ultimate consequence. it’s the survival of the fittest. it’s extreme. this is what the guys live for. i hope Eddie Goes!
