Along with 30,000 others- I flocked to the North Shore for the
Eddie Aikau contest. It can only be held when the waves
reach 40 feet in Waimea Bay on the North Shore.
The last time this happened was 2004.
My good friend Joy and I loaded the kids in the minivan and cruised over.
Once we got there, we had to cruise right by the competition. Everyone was
parking 5 miles away and hiking/ biking/ skating along this 2 lane road to get
there. I was not going to hike 5 miles with my two kids.....
so we headed to Pipeline and saw the 25 foot waves and enjoyed the crowds.
Even though we didn't stop at the bay- I still caught some fun pictures of it all. I loved the people....

So, so cool! Thank you for those great pics! Makes me feel like I was apart of the action!!
Hi Mollie! So glad you got up to the North Shore to see the big waves (along with the rest of Oahu!). My brother was one of the cameramen at the Eddie, and then later at the Pipeline contest. Funny how the paths cross and no one even knows it. Hope life is going well in Hawaii!!
