EDDIE WOULD GO....

There was a Hawaiian man named Eddie Aikau. He was a life guard on the North Shore and became famous for saving lives and riding humongous waves. They built a double hull voyage canoe to sail to the Tahitian Islands only to find out that near the Hawaiian Island Molokai the canoe sprang a leak. Eddie took off in the dark with a surf board to go get help and was NEVER SEEN AGAIN. Every year when the N. shore gets 25 ft or more they hold a " Eddie would Go" BIG WAVE RIDING CONTEST. I saw it when Tiki was 1 and they haven't held it since ( waves never got big enough!) This Saturday might go off. It is TRULY amazing to watch!!! and whoever (survives) wins....gets $ 50,000.00!!! Thank God it's INVITATIONAL ONLY, cuz Alika would go.....:)
