those guys wish they had my style
There were only 2 Eddies completed in the 90's Keone won in 1990 and Noah in 1999. I see Keone often on the rare occasion that I surf the South shore. I swear he hasn't aged since he won.You're the only person I've seen bring this up on here or social media.
My son played with my cousins son yesterday and when I was picking him up, I saw my uncle (he won the Eddie in the 90s). He said the same thing. They're gonna do 10 - 45 minute heats. Sets are usually 20-25 minutes apart on average, depending on swell. So some heats are only going to have one set. When it was 1 hour heats, every heat would get 2 to possibly 3 sets.
Also, thanks for giving George his flowers. The old dog truly loved the event and would NEVER give a green light until first light. He'd be doing math in the tower while listening to sets, making sure there'd be enough swell so that every contestant had a chance to win.
I've paddled out before the Eddie twice. The first time was fairly uncrowded and they started late, 9 or 10. The second time it was packed and they started kicking us out soon after it got light. I managed to get a wave with about ten other guys, I was deepest except for a guy who jumped. ESPN used a photo of the wave on their home page for the Eddie story not a real photo of the contest. I also paddled out after one contest, '99 I think, also uncrowded and good fun. I was in the water down the road during the half a contest in '95. I walk over to contest around noon to find out the contest was canceled. Perfect 12 to 15ft Waimea with not one person out, I was too lazy to walk back to my car to get my board.You're invited to paddle out before the first heat.
I overheard talk in the line-up yesterday that he is definitely going to give it a go, tape up the foot and maybe a boot.I highly doubt Chris Owens is going. Chris was injured by a drop in at the Bay about a week ago. Feel bad for the guy - his first invite and he's injured a week from the event.
RCJ has surfed every Waimea Eddie but one ('86), Clyde has only missed one too ('99), Clyde also surfed the Sunset Eddie. RCJ won in '01, came in 2nd twice ('04, '16) was in 2nd after the first round in the half an Eddie ('95) and always finished in the top 10. He is a Quik rider, just saying.Ive always dug RCJ. He has that maniacal look in his eyes. Wild. Like someone Id be a bit scared to hang out with.
Now you tell me. I'm in Temecula.You're invited to paddle out before the first heat.
I smoked some great ganj in Temecula during the Summer of 1999, visiting a college friend while her parents were in Vegas.Now you tell me. I'm in Temecula.
He really hasn't. They just came back from Huahine and he was charging 6 foot slabs at age 68. I also saw him surf for 7 straight hours a few summers ago when it was solid and glassy all day.There were only 2 Eddies completed in the 90's Keone won in 1990 and Noah in 1999. I see Keone often on the rare occasion that I surf the South shore. I swear he hasn't aged since he won.

foooook that is hugeBuoy 51101 pinging at 19-22 ft, 16-17 sec.
Doesn’t that translate into 50-60 foot faces? That’s Eddie material I reckonIs 27ft 19 sec big enough?
Exactly what Keone saidI'm amazed they forecast this swell almost 2 weeks ago.
