The Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau is a specialty, one-day, big wave event held annually at Waimea Bay in memory of one of Hawaii's legendary big wave riders and the first Waimea Bay lifeguard, Eddie Aikau. Waves must reach a minimum of 20 feet for this event to be held. A lengthy holding period is set aside for this competition which requires just one day to run to completion. When the event does get underway, it is a magnificent sight, as waves as high as mountains storm through Waimea Bay. The winner receives $55,000.
