In one of the most epic winter weeks for surf from the Hawaiian Islands to the coast of California, organizers of the Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie Aikau, the world's original big-wave surf competition held at Waimea Bay, Hawaii, has been called off for today.
The Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie Aikau event director George Downing has made a famous statement: In Downing's words, "The Bay calls the day." That call has been made only six times in the past 17 years. It's as if the ocean itself is determined to keep this event special. Click on Pic for the story of Eddie Aikau!
