One of the most impactful competitive experience in my life was surfing in the few Eddie events I was so proudly invited to. I was motivated to perform well for sure, but this format and over all spirit of the event really suited me. The event was/is bigger than any one person. I liked that. It was honoring Eddie Aikau and his legacy and the appreciation of Waimea Bay. 💯 . . Pic: @flipperhawaii
