Filmed on November 24, 2023 at Peahi (Jaws) on the North Shore of Maui in Hawaii. A XL swell filled in over night with waves heights being much higher than expected. Kauai buoys were reading 20ft @ 20 sec. Wave heights were topping out at around 25-35 ft at Peahi that morning. Watch as these brave surfers put on a show for us as the surf huge jaws.

Friday Morning turned out to be a lot bigger than originally forecasted with waves estimated to be at least 40 feet cresting the North Shore by 2am at the height of this swell. Fast Forward to 7am and thousands laid eyes on what turned out to be the biggest Swell the Hawaiian Islands has seen since the last Eddie Aikau Big Wave Competition in January 2023.

A huge swell (21 feet at 20 seconds) hit the Hawaiian shores late on thanksgiving day. The next morning we woke up to huge and crazy conditions at Jaws. First wave of the day Kai Lenny fell on a 60 footer, then went back out for more. Albee Layer proved once again that even on the trickiest and sketchiest days out at Jaws that he can still get barreled. Less than 10 waves were paddled into during the session. Strong winds came up and it became too hard to paddle. 15 year old 'Baby' Steve Roberson got whipped into the biggest wave of the day. I'm claiming it's the biggest wave ever ridden by a 15 year old. From Matthieu Extebarne foiling to Kai Lenny taking waves on the head. There was so many crazy moments during this swell. Surfers featured Albee Layer Kai Lenny 'Baby' Steve Roberson Torrey Meister Ridge Lenny Austin Kalama Trevor Carlson Matthieu Extebarne Olie Shipp Yuri Soledad Thomas Oliver Patri McLaughlin Jesse Richman Ian Walsh Land Footage from Slater Neborsky and Aerial Footage from myself.

Luke Shepardson - Winner Of The 2023 Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational

 


The results are in!!! The winner of the 2023 Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational at Waimea Bay is Luke Shepardson... I spent Sunday glued to my tv watching the Eddie live on youtube and I'm stoked I did. Check this out: 


To celebrate & support The Eddie '23, Surfline will donate $25 to The Eddie Aikau Foundation for every new Surfline Premium annual membership for the next 24 hours. Surfline Premium is also 25% OFF for the duration of the offer. Offer ends on Jan-23 at 2PM PST. Follow the link: https://www.surfline.com/upgrade/?dis...

World's most iconic big-wave event returns to Waimea Bay. WHAT ARE WE WATCHING? The word “unique” is thrown around a lot. In this case, it fits. There is nothing like the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, inside surfing or out. The event has been placed on a three-month hold every Hawaiian winter for the past 34 years, and run only nine times — only when Waimea Bay offers itself up at 20 feet or bigger for a full day of surfing. It is run in the memory of Eddie: fantastic surfer, Hawaiian all the way through, the first lifeguard in North Shore history, who vanished in an impossibly heroic rescue effort off the capsized double hull canoe Hokule’a in March 1978. Surfers attend the event by invitation from the Aikau family, and there’s no greater honor in surfing. This year, a total of 40 surfers have been so honored. (See our list below.) The event format is simple: Two rounds of eight-person heats are held, so everyone gets to surf twice. Each surfer’s top four rides count toward a total score. Those top four rides can come from one or both heats, so a wobbly first heat isn’t the end of the world. But it wouldn’t be anyway. Just paddling out for one of these heats is prized by every surfer who’s ever taken part. There’s been nine winners of the Eddie so far. Nobody has ever won it twice. Former winners: Denton Miyamura (1987), Clyde Aikau (1986), Keone Downing (1990), Noah Johnson (1999), Ross Clarke-Jones (2001), Kelly Slater (2002), Bruce Irons (2004), Greg Long (2009), John Florence (2016)

KITV4's Malika Dudley spoke with Kelly Slater - who actually gave up his spot - for a longtime surfer who'd never competed in the Eddie before.


For the first time ever, women were included in the lineup to catch the monster waves out at Waimea Bay.




A historic day for surfing. The best of the best big wave surfers paddled out in giant Waimea to honor our Hawaiian Big Wave Hero, Eddie Aikau. Every single heat had the most amazing rides that had everyone on the edge of their seats. So thankful that everyone is safe and went home to their families. It wasn’t just a day of competition, it was a day of celebration. Another huge congratulations to North Shore lifeguard Luke Shepardson on his victory at the Eddie! Mahalo to the Aikau ohana @theeddieaikau @eddieaikaufoundation for putting on another historic event. 🎥 @aukaing @mikelatronic @brentbielmann 🎼 from our friends @thegreen808

Is The Eddie Is On???... Hawaii

It's that time... The Hawaiian surf at Waimea Bay is consistently 20 foot or bigger... I can't wait to see my heroes ride those mountains! Get ready for the Eddie! 


According to the Aikau family, The Eddie is on. Read more at KHON2.com.


Paddling out to 3rd reef Pipeline is no easy task... Or is it? Its crazy how misleading and challenging this wave can be. Luckily after making it out a I was able to find some really fun waves but unfortunately broke my surfboard.

Waimea Bay, the world’s original best big wave, is currently pumping. And the world’s best big-wave surfers are currently tackling massive walls of North Pacific energy breaking across the storied North Shore reef. Impossible to look away.
