Honoring revered big wave surfer and lifeguard Eddie Aikau, the
Quiksilver Big Wave In Memory of Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational can only be held when the surf measures at least 20 feet (Hawaiian scale) for a full day of competition. The event came close to meeting the height requirements on several occasions this winter, however adverse wind and storm conditions ruled each opportunity out.



Surfing legend Eddie Aikau was the North Shore's first full-time
lifeguard, and earned the permanent guard chair at Waimea with a sterling reputation for his life-saving work. He was also a dedicated soul for Hawaii's indigenous people and the perpetuation of their culture. In 1978, during an historic voyage from Hawaii to Tahiti, the voyaging canoe he was on capsized, leaving him and nine other crew members stranded 12 miles east of Lanai. Aikau swam off in a heroic attempt to find assistance but, tragically, was never heard from again, despite the most intensive air-sea search in Hawaiian maritime history.
