Who in the farg in Eddie Aiku

[Seabiscuit36]

I know your skin is allergic to the sun and surf, but Eddie Aikau was a surfing god who died

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Aikau

In 1978, the Polynesian Voyaging Society was seeking volunteers for a 30-day, 2,500-mile (4,000 km) journey to follow the ancient route of the Polynesian migration between the Hawaiian and Tahitian island chains. At 31 years of age, Aikau joined the voyage as a crew member. The Hokule'a left the Hawaiian islands on March 16, 1978. The double-hulled voyaging canoe developed a leak in one of the hulls and later capsized about twelve miles (19 km) south of the island of Molokai. In an attempt to get help, Aikau paddled toward Lanai on his surfboard.[6] Although the rest of the crew was later rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Aikau was never seen again. The ensuing search for Aikau was the largest air-sea search in Hawaii history.[7]

In Aikau's honor, the surfwear company Quiksilver sponsors the "The Eddie"[8]—the Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie Aikau at Waimea Bay. The idea of the Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational was created by Bruce Raymond and Bob McKnight.

Since its inception (Eddie Aikau's brother Clyde Aikau[8] won the first Eddie in 1985), the tournament has only been held seven times, due to a precondition that open-ocean swells reach a minimum of 20 feet (this translates to a wave face height of over 30 feet).[9] The most recent tournament was in December 2009, when waves in the bay reached 30 to 50 feet (15 m) high.[10] The contest only invites 28 big-wave riders to participate in two rounds of competition. The event does not allow the use of jet skis to tow surfers into the waves.

My bro said the island is a mess with people heading north, wonder if Donho is up there

[Rome]

i've been there many times.  it's a farging mess one way or another.  two lanes to nowhere.  yay!

[Diomedes]

nevermind the waves, I wouldn't risk the sharks

[Rome]

i surf at literally the shark bite capital of the world (ponce inlet, fl).

sadly for all of you i've never been killed by one.

[Seabiscuit36]

One day rome, one day. 

Yeah, its a bitch on a normal day getting up there, today its beyond horrible.  Don Ho is stuck traveling, poor guy.  He lives for this shtein

[Sgt PSN]

having your hands bit off would be sufficient enough.

no ill go for full death

[ice grillin you]

that ponce inlet restaurant is dope

[LBIggle]

i lived in smyrna when i was going to school down there.. while windsurfing down by the inlet where the dog park is.. i saw a spinner jump clear out of the water not even 10 feet from me.  after i was done shteinting myself i went to famous philly's for a belly buster comfort food.  i still don't get why right there is so rampant with sharks.. you would think the gulf side with the warmer more stagnant water, and filled with the slower, stinkier, dumber bait (old people) would be more of a problem area.
