This morning there was a lot of hemming and hawing -- would "the eddie" go or not? It wasn't until I was at work after 7 this morning that they decided it was on! People had been lining up since before the sun was up; thousands of people turned out to see 28 of the world's greatest big wave surfers take to Waimea Bay. We were even watching it live on our computers at work on and off -- its just amazing to see surfers take on 30+ ft. waves. There were quite a few wipeouts and broken boards. But, there were lots of 'wow' moments too. Turns out the Greg Long won in the last round. Not that I know who that is...but he's from California!
After work Meli and I went up the beach to see what we could see. Waves were supposed to be 15-25 ft. by us. They were higher and more frequent than usual and a few surfers were out trying to catch a wave or two. Not nearly as spectacular as on the North Shore, but nothing to sneeze at either.
