HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Eddie could go. A yellow alert has been issued for Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024, meaning the The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational could have a contest.
Event organizers announced the massive swell means the surfing event will be on standby.
The waiting period for The Eddie opened last Friday, Dec. 13, 2024 and runs through March 13, 2025.
The last Eddie champion was local North Shore lifeguard Luke Shepardson in 2023.
