Huge surf at North Shore of Oahu

Live streaming of the Eddie Aikau Surfing Tournament. It's only held when waves are consistently 40 feet or greater. Because of that, it's only run seven times in its 24-year history.

You can probably hear the gnashing of teeth in California from where you are. The Mavericks community just decided to cancel the Mavericks contest tentatively scheduled for today. Can't have been the cold - it's warmer in the ocean than on shore for once!

@Hedera Hang in there! I would imagine the remnants of this surf should hit the coast in 4 or 5 days. There'll be some good surfing then. :-)

I read about that. Sounds like it would be worth seeing.

Hedera, according to some of our news people, the Mavericks contest was canceled in part because too many of its likely participants hopped planes to get here for the Eddie.
