Edward Aikau was a well-known Hawaiian lifeguard and surfer. As the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on the island of Oahu, he saved many lives and became famous for surfing the big Hawaiian surf, winning several awards including the 1977 Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship.
In memory of Eddie, came the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Memorial Surf Contest. The event is now regarded as the most prestigious big wave surfing contest in the world. It is affectionately known as “The Eddie.”
Californian surfer, Greg Long, won this year’s Eddie a couple weeks back. One can understand then why these pics of Greg surfing in Cape Town in August this year, taken by Anthony Fox (The Surfer), would make local surfers jizz.
