No Go for the Eddie Although all signs were looking great for the Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau to go down last week, unfortunately it turned out to not be an ‘Eddie Day.’ There were massive waves on offer, but due to the inconsistency of the swell there just were not enough waves to meet the high standards that make ‘The Eddie’ such a prestigious event.
