I never get tired of watching big wake riders – especially when they have to paddle in/out like they do at Waimea. There is simply no match for the sheer strength, stamina and determination it takes to get yourself out to ride one of these waves. I simply have no clue what it’s like, but I guarantee you it’s not easy. That’s how they do it for the Eddie Aikau Memorial, when they hold “the Memorial” this year’s 2009 event was 4 years in the making – I wish I had the huevos to do this…
