It's winter.

Winter on the North shore of Hawaii means the arrival of big surf and The EDDIE.

The EDDIE is a big wave contest in memory of Eddie Aikau a legendary Hawaiian surfer, lifeguard, and all around water man. I can't wait to see if "Eddie Goes" this year.

For more info on the event, it's history, and the man go to.  http://theeddie.quiksilver.com/
