A child I dreamt of competing in the most prestigious event in Surfing, the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.
It was an honor to be apart of the an epic day in surfing history and ride big wave for Eddie Aikau. This video documents my experience of the incredible day.

Fantastic video with fantastic music. I loved the surfing and drone shots of the waves.
Fantastic episode Kai thanks π
Such an epic video! The commentary, music, inclusion of so many, & of course your surfing! Love the switch!!
That Pearl Jam tune added to the great vibe felt in this video! I loved it!
Way to go Everyone!
What a great edit!! My favorite of all I've seen of the Eddie. Captured the feeling and the courage.
What a great video!
Kai & your entire team, that was incredible! Watching the live stream, when you came blasting through the spray & foam of your 1st or 2nd wave, it was SO exhilarating & inspiring. You're exceptional Kai, keep being amazing. Excellent production & tight editing. That massive closeout at the end & those HWP drivers, were breathtaking. RIP Larry Haynes.
GREAT to hear Pearl Jam on a surfing video again…AWESOME.
Not to mention METALLICA!!!
