The Eddie Aikau Swell at Jaws didn’t disappoint! It was a giant session with XXXL waves. While the whole surfing world had their eyes and attention set on Waimea Bay for the prestigious “Eddie Aikau Swell” and event. Jaws ( Pe’ahi) on Maui went XXXL with many unbelievable moments throughout this historical swell. What a special time for Hawai’i Nei.

At sunrise Pe’ahi was just waking up, the tide was very high with lots of signs of incoming swell. It wasn’t giant in the early morning but the signs of a high powered strong period swell showed early.

Yuri Soledade was the first one on it towing into waves with a colorful sunrise. Soon after
Albee Layer and a few others started a paddle in session. Albee got barreled and drained on his first wave. Kai Paula impressed all with the wave of the morning, he got a crazy deep in and out riding over the foam ball on exit.

The swell really started filling in and the wind slowly starting coming up. Then the tow in session started Shaun Walsh just got the first giant wave, an XXXL wave. It started pumping around 10:00 a.m. with heavy and giant perfect waves. Trevor Carlson got a few mean giant waves too. Izzi Gomez got a deep barreled on her first tow in wave of the day. She’s was going nuts.

Ridge Lenny showed up and got a giant wave to start off his session that he got barreled on, it was an epic one. Ridge also packed another huge one then his driver Ola who does safety almost got caught in a big wave attempting to rescue Ridge with his jet ski. That was a heavy moment.

Shaun Lopez timed the peak of the swell in search of the biggest waves possible. Right around 2pm the swell pulsed really hard. Austin Kalama was towed in by his father Dave Kalama on one of the biggest sets of the afternoon. Zane Schweitzer got one of the biggest waves as well, 30ft plus Hawaiian. It was the XXXL set ! Those were some the biggest waves we have seen yet from the cliff. The “Eddie Aikau Swell” will go down in history as one on the most memorable days in big wave surfing.

What occurred on January 22, 2023, at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu is nothing short of historical. We’re simply doing our best to document Hawaiian Surf History here.

Hands down, the most epic surf event in recent memory and other surf photographers, some of whom have been filming these events for a long time, agreed and said similar things. What a coincidence that exactly one year after 2022’s (Jan 22, 2022) biggest and most epic Waimea Bay Surf day, we have another epic day, just bigger, sunnier, more exciting, and better in every way!

Eddie Aikau was a Hawaiian lifeguard and surfer. As the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on the island of Oahu, he saved over 500 people and became famous for surfing the big Hawaiian surf, winning several awards. In 1978, He sacrificed his life trying to help the crew aboard the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa. In Eddie Aikau’s honor, “The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational” Waimea Bay Big Wave Surf Contest was held on Jan 22, 2023 for the first time since February 25, 2016.

Also, reported by Derek Rielly from Beach Grit about Luke Shepardson winning the contest:
