What's up

Eddie 2024, Best Rides Of An Iconic Day The Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Invitational, starring winner Landon McNamara, Luke Shepardson, Billy Kemper, Jamie O’Brien, Ian Walsh, Jake Maki, Ross Clarke-Jones and Joey Cadiz. Riding big Waimea Bay is both a wild adrenaline rush and a quite subtle game of inches. You’re playing cat and mouse with an uneven rock ledge and a lot of swell energy, and you’re riding a board way bigger than you are. All the elements scream “CHARGE!” Yet even as you’re charging, all kinds of tiny things are happening. Little shifts of the board underfoot. Wind holding you up a fraction longer than you thought it might. You draw a simple line and it works, or it doesn’t. There’s a deep layer of grace and beauty under the wildness, and nowhere was it plainer to see than during yesterday Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Invitational, when the next generation of big wave greats showed all the skills and qualities this amazing event asks of a surfer. Here’s some of the best rides of an iconic day — and a word or two from Uncle Clyde Aikau, keeper of the flame.

Stories from The Eddie - Clyde Aikau | Rip Curl The Eddie Big Wave Invitational 2024. Four decades. Run just ten times. ‘Stories From The Eddie’ is a series that dives into the most iconic moments, from surfing's most iconic big wave invitational event. This first episode asks surfers like Mason Ho, Mark Healy, Landon McNamara and Emily Erikson what the event means to them. We also explore the entire reason why this event was founded in the first place: to commemorate the legacy of Eddie Aikau. The Hawaiian icon and waterman sacrificed his life seeking help when a traditional Polynesian vessel, the Hōkūleʻa, capsized in heavy seas in 1978. He was also the first ever lifeguard at the Waimea Bay where the event is held and is a true legend in the surfing world. To get notified when new episodes of ‘Stories From The Eddie’ drop, subscribe to this channel. The Rip Curl The Eddie Big Wave Invitational waiting period officially opens on December 14th 2024 - March 13th 2025. Live The Search. #EddieWouldGo #TheBayCallsTheDay #RipCurl

2023 Eddie Aikau Invitational Highlights: Best Waves in Historic Surf at Waimea Bay What will we remember most about January 22, 2023 at Waimea Bay? Everyone who took part, whether it be watching from afar via our live broadcast, standing on the beach with jaws hanging down to the sand, or in the water trying to hunt — we’ll all have different memories. But when it comes down to winning the day, here’s the waves that really counted. As you watch, bear in mind how the event is judged in the context of the Bay’s unique complexities: the panel is looking for wave size, critical positioning on takeoff (ie steep and deep), control of the drop, and successful “make”, ie completion of the ride through and past the wave base. Rides into the shorebreak, while serious crowd-pleasers, aren’t big points-adders: as you’ll note from this selection, the big points come from those first 10-20 seconds of the ride — which also relies on the decision to go in the first place. (Also worth noting: waves are scored out of a possible 30, rather than 10. Also, Mark Healey’s wave above was so close — 29.6 — that we had to include here.) It was an amazing day, however you saw it. We hope you enjoy these seven moments of magic. Results (scores are out of a possible 90.) 1. Luke Shepardson 89.1 2. John John Florence 84.2 3. Mark Healey 82.3 4. Billy Kemper 79.5 5. Kai Lenny 76.7 6. Ezekiel Lau 75.5 7. Landon McNamara 75.3 8. Keali’i Malama 72.5 9. Lucas Chianca 71.7 10. Ross Clarke-Jones 70 11.
