I took this wave picture entitled Liquid Power on The Day of the Eddie Big Wave Surf Invitational at Waimea Bay, Hawaii. One of the most honoring and grueling surf invitational competitions you could ever imagine! It is only held when the wave face heights are holding at a consistent 35 feet. The night before a 'possible' Eddie is held, the coordinators announce it. Madness ensues!!! The North Shore of Oahu is flooded with people hopeful that it will actually run. The beach and surrounding road is packed with thousands of people who camp out overnight waiting for the call. It becomes one big party. At sunrise the next morning, the coordinators go out on the beach and make the call if it's a go or no go. It is so rare for this competition to run, it's only happened in 2003, 2009, & 2016. One of the most amazing things about this competition is the surfers do not get towed into the waves! They have to hand paddle into them with their own power. Can you imagine paddling into a 35 foot wave, peering over the edge and taking the drop? Whew! That takes guts!
