Every year, surfers from around the globe gather for the prestigious Eddie contest at Waimea Bay on Oahu. The contest only runs when the waves are consistently over 20 foot (eeeek!) for the entire day. The holding period for the contest is multiple months as the big wave surfers wait for the special swell to hit the Hawaiian Island. This year, there is talks of the Eddie running, which is held in memory of Hawaiian waterman, Eddie Aikau.
The mantra, “Eddie Would Go,” is splattered across tailgates and car windows, and inspires all to charge and embrace life. We are excited to see if the Eddie contest will run! Follow the contest and watch it live here.
Inspired by all things surf, see below for some of our go to picks from the MIKOH X SURF collection, which was photographed here in Hawaii. Shop the MIKOH X SURF collection HERE.
