@ still better production than we got from ripcurl. Was happy it was fully streamed but they seemed to value commercials and interviews more. They missed almost every ride and were only showing replay due to endless interviews
20 years ago, I was living at Waimea Point. I could view the bay from my living room couch. My bedroom was directly across from Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church. The day after I moved in, the big North Shore rock slide occurred on Kamehameha Hwy.
@JamesSmith-qj9kd yuup pretty much crazy drop in then read & decide what line to take as the the tons of white water is trying to take you down ..Crazy buy these chosen waterman, warrior, chargers, Challenge it in the name of Bruddah EDDIE so we can watch & say Whhhooooaa.....Take Care peeps Malama Pono.
Critical take off? Late drop? Getting smashed by the huge lip, but riding through it and keep going? Bigger the wave? Any moves pulled off? .. is how'd I'd imagine the judges would score, or just a few examples
Yes very safe, the audio was coming from mics that were about a mile away from the actual surf break. As the helis moved closer we would retreat all our drones. All our pilots have there part 107 licenses

Crazy how the just drop in right in front of each other
This time, the Eddie was a joke! How can you run a contest like this if there aren't enough big waves for everyone? The conditions were so inconsistent that some surfers didn’t even have the chance to catch a single wave that could have helped them win. If it's more about luck than talent, then what’s the point?
True but they have a small Window. Not sure how many days or when started -ended but they gotta make the decision to 5:42 Hold or not ?? But yup I agree w u...
Sorry to say it, but this was not an Eddie-quality swell. The angle of the reinforcing swell that hit after the first energy moved in created a choppy / irregular swell pattern. The height was also suspect - those didn't look like 20 footers to me. Anyway, Mahalo. Good to see the spirit of Eddie continue regardless of the waves.
@@Paininthrneck I'm trying not to be negative, but the Eddie swell has to be PRISTINE and MASSIVE. It's part of what makes it special. This wasn't an Eddie quality swell.
@@mevert87yeah I hate to agree, but it seemed like only in the second half of heats were there Eddie caliber waves, and even then they still weren’t quite the same as last year or 2016. Swell angle definitely to blame.
It’s not an easy wave to surf. I’ve never surfed it super huge, yet it’s unlike other waves. It’s a whole different character. Great respect.
Definitely a different animal.
@erickane7093 yuup u got that right bro.
Universal frienship from Bordeaux. France.

Yea sorry we were running around so much we missed some critical waves of the event

How do they score it? 🤙🇳🇿
Who rides the mush the longest😂😂

@Yahuah780 cheers..🤙🇳🇿
Antigamente se via as gaivotas voando, hoje são vários DRONES, ainda sim que no minuto 16:35min ouvi barulho de helicóptero... Será que é seguro?

I've always been curious about why big wave surfers drop in on each other. I guess it's part of the etiquette in big wave surfing 😂
Women should have their own heats. They are taking slots for more deserving competitors. Most didn’t even catch a wave. Out there just for show.
You guys did a great job. Mahalo big time ya! Ever need some free help, hit me up! Lots of Aloha
Mahalo! We appreciate that. 🙏
These waves are almost unrideable. RIP Eddie.
Sweet video we were up there and filmed some of it just still editing it, maybe sometime we get one gnarly collab 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Would love to see it!! 🔥🔥
I need video evidence of the guys bagging out the contest surfing anything near this size before I think what they say is credible 😅
Luke Sheppardson should have won again, he got rorted
why does it seem like a snake contest

Pinballs jajaja😂
No inflatable vests needed. Their egos will pop them to the surface. Bigger than the suoer bowl? What a bunch of egomaniacs
No, they’re surfers! 🤙🏽

That is how contests work. Did you watch the Olympics or the Van's Pipemasters? Contests don't control the ocean. It's all in the game
Far from massive!

I think people got spoiled with the 2023 Eddie which was the best Eddie event in recorded history, it will be hard to top that even 20 years from now.

You just have to be there to feel it and see it , a camera can only do so much justice for people wondering at home .
Just enjoy it. Always gotta be a negative nellie that thinks its " cool to criticise" .
