The Quiksilver In Memory Of Eddie Aikau

If you want to see people almost drown, visit your local municipal pool on the 4th of July. If you want to see a few select water warriors paddle out taking on Mother Nature in a game of “who can hold it together, while having a mountain of water slam the life out of them” – keep your eyes on Quiksilver’s In Memory of Eddie Aikau website. The waves have to be of worthy size to run the event. Right now, there’s a storm a brewin that, according to my inside sources at Quik, could go down as early as the 20th of this month. I was there last year for this truly awesome event. It was nothing short of magical. Come on … tickets are not even expensive to Hawaii right now … and this is history in the making.
