In the world of surfing, there is perhaps no greater honor than an invite to The Eddie. The event only runs when the waves get big enough, and historically speaking, that’s not too often. It adds to the gravity of the contest, though, and each and every person invited hopes that this year will be the year. The newest installment of Hawaii Live follows Eli Olson through the opening ceremony for the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, and it shows just how important it is to everyone involved. Here’s hoping the bay calls the day this year.
