The Inertia

As you may have heard, The Eddie is on. However, if the live stream doesn’t satisfy your thirst for video of horrifyingly large Waimea Bay (or you have some sort of Dark Knight-style multi-screen situation happening), we have you covered.

Additional footage of the world’s most intense lineup right now comes courtesy of YouTube channel Surfers of Hawai’i, who were out on Friday, December 20 to capture some pretty stunning drone footage. Waimea attracts the best surfers any time its firing, but with the Eddie officially called green and a massive swell already producing 18 to 22-foot faces, this was on a whole other level. In this video alone are appearances from John John Florence, Kauli Vaast, Luke Shepardson and Eala Stewart.

Of course, all of this was just an amuse-bouche for today’s theatrics. In case you missed it, there’s a live stream of the main event going on right now, and you can watch it here.
