"Disappointment in Hawaii as Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational Called Off"
The Eddie surfing contest at Waimea Bay isn't running this week despite a promising swell, as the waves didn't reach the required 40-foot face mark. The event, known for its rarity and strict wave height demands, has only been held 10 times since 1985. Contest director Liam McNamara initially anticipated a swell with potential to reach 50-foot heights, but it lost momentum as it approached the Bay. Despite the disappointment, conditions at Waimea were still impressive, with surfer Zeke Lau practicing in the water.
