I meet Landon Christmas eve after the eddie, in front of his dad's surf shop in Haleiwa signing autographs, super down to earth guy. What a ride...super clean, super deep...
Thought Mason Ho had it but this is an amazing ride. The fact he gets lipped but somehow stays perfectly on his board. Was great. Also it wasn’t the biggest sets of the day. Still damn big. He was def 1 or 2. Great showing
Luke Shepardson’s ride was bigger, longer and his drop was crazy- Landon’s wave was only a drop omg, going straight wins the contest if you related to the contest Director
STFU HEE HAW. Please explain how the contest director is responsible for Luke not catching higher scoring back up waves. 3 waves are counted 50 pts each wave. Best wave has no ting to do w/it. You're stealing flowers w/ this nonsense
Most comps are like this though. Even though they say score based on length of ride, tricks, stumbles etc. Comps should be crowd judged with handicaps to the more well known riders.
Yeah I didn’t understand this pick either. I almost felt like after watching it, they just wanted to have a north shore surfer win 🤷♂️ who wasn’t John John
Congrats to Landon on a huge W at Waimea. That ride was absolutely berserk! But...a lot of people, myself included, believe Luke Shepardson had the best wave.
If I may share my honest opinion.The Brotherhood of Wave Riders is something that would benefit from a break from the contest mentality and go back to a expression session kine of gathering for the Spirit and Love of the Thing that We All live for. There will always be Standouts with incredible Skills that everyone will love to witness but Those that are Still learning how to or Have less abilities are Still part of the Ohana O He' Nalu. And should be accepted as Ohana. On any given session one will get that WaveoftheDay.Then Another one will in some other session. Right? Lets not Judge each other so much and Just be Stoked to share this wonderful Activity that fee Get 2enjoy. Thanks,Mahalo Nui Loa for letting me speak to you All about my thoughts about Life as a Waverider. Aloha4&2All WorldWide
I agree. As far as contests go, The Eddie embodies your feelings of surfing for the love of the sport and ohana more than any other. But surfers are athletes and sportsmen and therefore completive, and people love to watch so contests aren't going away. But I couldn't agree more with your sentiment, especially in the normal lineups where the crowds are now so intense it's hard to even have fun.
Did he win with this wave mostly because he stayed up on the board ahead of, and in and out of, the crush? The waves that day didn't seem like they had the form, or even size, of the previous Eddie.
I was waiting for him to get back in the pocket but bro just went straight and it wins a 50/50. Always disliked competitions like this where it has nothing to do with skill.
Ever since he turned and dug deep, spring off into it, less goo, he owned it! Even the guy who dropped in didn't commit as much as Landon because Landon owned that prior to turn and use his board as a spring to catch.. to finish hands up, claim yeeewww
It’s a judgement based on how deep you take off, how steep the drop is, if you ride out, and if you take it all the way inside. The wave physically doesn’t allow for a small enough board to paddle, bottom turn, barrel, and carve all in the same wave. Unlike mavs and jaws, Waimea fully just lifts up and dumps making it pretty tricky even if the wave height isn’t as big as the other major big wave locations.
I watched it on the internet, and I couldn't believe how the wave behind him did not knock him down it stayed right behind him only Eddie had something to do with that real spiritual there
Is this the chap who broke his shoulder socket rotator on a Nazare giant? Cause if so he definitely earned that victory he has worked so hard to keep surfing. A testimony to the rigorous training and pure belief to be able to do any of this big wave riding especially after such a wipeout. Anyways righteous ride im happy for ya bruv.
TBH, I didn't think this was a perfect wave in the moment. When you see the slowmo, the wipeout down the line, and the steady line. Well deserved. Congratulations!
Cheer's 2U Nephew in the Highest. You've been working towards this one For years and now You made it Happen.So Super Stoked 2Sea Your Win live.

But Mother Ocean & Eddie do Pick the best of the Day.IAm Soo very Happy that it was Your Day. Don't even give those that would deny your Win a moments thought.

How is there comparison they are different shaped waves if anything compare this to another similar break don't compare a wave that throws barrels to a wave that stands tall and stays a peak of crashing white waters. Looks more similar to Mavs than jaws tbh.
@@grokuBudzThe other breaks are actual waves and this is just a drop, so there isn't a comparison. On any other wave this wouldn't be considered a ride at all
Great drop but see the guy on the right go in late, freefall something terrible and lose it in a very bad over-the-falls spot? He may have been hurt too?
The chaos unleashed behind him after he makes the drop is mind-blowing.
I meet Landon Christmas eve after the eddie, in front of his dad's surf shop in Haleiwa signing autographs, super down to earth guy. What a ride...super clean, super deep...
Shepardson wave was way more crazy than
@martovalvarez6167 ok, it was just great being there.
Insane. Such a beautiful shot of such an epic moment. Freakin incredible. Deepest respect for Landon!
AMAZING! Congrats on the win!!
Thought Mason Ho had it but this is an amazing ride. The fact he gets lipped but somehow stays perfectly on his board. Was great. Also it wasn’t the biggest sets of the day. Still damn big. He was def 1 or 2. Great showing
Congratulations! And god bless that feller who went over the falls
my dad used to say 'feller' - thank you for reminding me...

100% agreed! Wild this contest has become a joke !
Calm down
I’m sure that you’re right but it’s fun to watch on TH-cam shorts
Most comps are like this though. Even though they say score based on length of ride, tricks, stumbles etc. Comps should be crowd judged with handicaps to the more well known riders.
Just found out this perfect deep water song in his own... What a multi talented guy 👏🏽
That was a nice wave slide, Landon.
Well done.
I didn't understand the scoring for The Eddie...
No one does
its like ufc scoring lol
but he 100% deserved the win off this wave alone. insane wave
@MeNoGoodEnglishx3 I just don't see it... Especially compared to Luke, Mason, Kemper, Nate and Koa's waves.
Yeah I didn’t understand this pick either. I almost felt like after watching it, they just wanted to have a north shore surfer win 🤷♂️ who wasn’t John John
That he held on was incredible!
Anyone who can be in this Surf is Amazing!!
Congrats to Landon on a huge W at Waimea. That ride was absolutely berserk! But...a lot of people, myself included, believe Luke Shepardson had the best wave.
OG Badass💪
Wow . Solid 10 footer

That was step man only the few can do what Eddie could do ❤👊🏼👊🏼
Congratulations on the wave of the day! Great ride! 🤙

Certainly didn't win it because it was a good wave or a good ride
THE BEST🎉🎉❤
my bro sent it like a boss!!!!

Congratulations braddah 🤙🏾 aloha
I'm an old lady, but want to surf in heaven!!!!
Kind of a strange wave. Just a take off and a drop. I mean I know it’s big for a paddle wave but . . .
Very strange not my liking
I still can't work out how they can even judge it
Agree on that, it must be a balls measure judgement
It’s a judgement based on how deep you take off, how steep the drop is, if you ride out, and if you take it all the way inside.

@@keffdog125Great explanation, thanks man
Sweet ‼️
Perfect song Tucker Wooding ! Fire footage 4 YEARZZZZ
Who is it, cant find the song with the lyrics
what makes this a 50pt ride? genuinely curious.
is this your footage? best angle ever! i watched the eddie all day.
Why is it perfect? I can guess pretty good at scores when it comes to the normal CT. Awesome ride, I just don’t watch a lot of big wave comps…
How was this a win?
This contest is given to who every the judges want to give it to that year mason won
Yeah everyone has their own opinion but none of them are the Judges.
Their All Champions of the BigWaveOhana
@ that’s even worse Hawaii land of the not free what a dump
Отлично супер восхищаюсь и главное живой😊😊😊❤
I thought this was a joke but he actually won from that?😂
That was intense and bad asssa
I find it hard to see this as a winning wave...
Congratulations bra
Que genial la forma de la onda si es una grandiosa caida de agua y el chico super el recorrido , bien por el eres unico.
It went Amazing🤙🏼
I watched it on the internet, and I couldn't believe how the wave behind him did not knock him down it stayed right behind him only Eddie had something to do with that real spiritual there
Should have pulled in half way down. Didn't even try to do a bottom turn, but out run the white water really well.
Funny ol game the eddie, good win for this guy but claiming it 3 times should have had a few points knocked off his score.
Luke's wave was bigger.I had luke as the winner again.Sorry
Massive Goofy-foot drop, Chee Hoooo!!!!
When the ocean chose you 😜
Brave one!!!!! FUN-Tastic!!!
Wow amazing take off and making that drop, Blessed 🙏

All those guys missed the Jaws and Maverick’s sessions. Surf the Eddie and missed out on the best waves in 25years
Súper powers
damn he held on.
Old school gnarly
Tiempos perfectos 🎉
I’m no big wave surfer but it doesn’t seem to be the best ride to me but what do I know??
TBH, I didn't think this was a perfect wave in the moment. When you see the slowmo, the wipeout down the line, and the steady line. Well deserved. Congratulations!
Special thanks to the Buffalo Sabres hockey organization
Have to say I thought a few others had this....
At any other break this wouldn't even be considered a ride
What song is this please
Yessah Landon
Good balance
I def thought Luke had the best wave of the event.
Maui?
And your playing one of his beautiful songs as the video plays
Great wave, don’t get the 50, but congratulations either way
What’s the song?
It’s Landon McNamara _ Deep Water
Epic day for all Eddie chose Landon🎉🎉❤
Jaws was so much more impressive
@bayly1977 ok
Stoked!!!!
Crazy drop, but lukes wave was better.
50/50??
Wtf
I can just survive a small wave, I could never do that😅
wow
Free Landon!!

Surfing in front of 50 foot whitewater,no problem😳🤣🤣💪🤟🤟🤟🤟
So he made the drop …
Great drop but see the guy on the right go in late, freefall something terrible and lose it in a very bad over-the-falls spot? He may have been hurt too?
Claims just like his dad....
Its gotta be hard to surf with balls so big
He touched the board , Eddie didn't.
what was so good about that???
Steep takeoff, short wave. No elegance.
I now believe in god haha
Such a heavy takeoff deserved the 🏆
