In Aikau's honor, Quiksilver sponsors the “The Eddie” Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie Aikau at Waimea Bay. The tournament has only been held eight times, due to a precondition that open-ocean swells reach a minimum of 20 feet Hawaiian.
Every year the since the summer of 1978 the Aikau Ohana brings fresh flowers and decorates the Memorial.
This is Eddieʻs original surfboard "Restored"
Clyde Aikau always in the forefront.
The invitees gather around in a circle.
Trophies are given to all competitors.
Very Blessed to have grown up with Solomon and the Aikau Ohana. Aloha
