SURFING BIG WAIMEA 12 07 09

Surfing XXL Waimea Bay, Monday December 7, 2009, 8(oo)am. The day before the Eddie. Big surf, but too rugged for da Eddie.
***Hats off to the men and women who paddled out anyway.
Soundtrack: The Treacherous Jaywalkers...
1) Los Tumbos.
2) In The World.
3) Long Forgotten Summer.

***"The blue turns into grey,
The grey turns into black,
And we all know, the ocean won't be back,
Man's pollution, Neptune's Gallow,
A submarine attack.

Trees can be cut down.
But man can't cut down water,
So he fills the ocean with his waste
While laughing, and not caring,
About Mother Nature's Fate.

A treasure for lovers of exotic pirate lore!

Aloha,

but how can it be too big for the Eddie? he would have wanted it the biggest and most blownn out possible.

mahalo, mondo

Not too big for Eddie, but probably too stormy for their liking. The next day the waves were a little smaller, but the sun was out, the water was blue, and the waves were much smoother. But I agree - I think they should have held it on this morning, Dec. 7, when the waves were huge and rugged, and far more consistent. But the Eddie has become a commercial sensation, and the organizers also need to get all the riders together, make the official announcement, etc. Must be a tough call to make...

Good memories of the winter swells in 1982-1985. Choice Video! Stylin tunes! Thanks for the memories.

"favorited" this vid, really superbly shot and edited! the music makes it! great Treacherous cuts. yeah bro, this same swell is supposed to start hitting here tomorrow morning. we'll see... supposed to be huge by our standards, nothing like this but it's all relative. p.s. - thanks for the e-mail re: Fountain. i'll get in touch soon, just pondering the options, brah... blessings from the Maharishi ;-)

fantastic video, Q-dog! great footage, and hearing the old Treacherous brought back so many fond memories of amazing times in s.d. some 20 years ago... with Critchell, M-Dog, Cowley, Eric, Hodges, and Brett... classic!
