the Eddie Aikau Waimea Bay Surf Contest
these were taken 2 days ago. One of my friends lives out there and took the day off to go to this contest.
Here is a little background on this contest
This is the 25th anniversary of the event. The first was held at Sunset Beach in 1985. The following year, the event was held at Waimea Bay and remained the permanent site.
The Waimea Bay contest is only held when waves are consistently large.
The National Weather Service says the waves are in the 40-foot range with 50-foot sets on outer reefs today.
1st time in 5 years they had this contest.
