THE QUICKSILVER IN MEMORY OF EDDIE AIKAU Date: December 1st, 2011 - February 29th, 2012 Place: Waimea Bay, North Shore Oahu Contact: Oceanpromotion@hawaii.rr.com It's a rare international sporting event that can have no set date, be held just eight times in a span of 27 years, and still gain strength. But the lifeblood of the big wave Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau lies in what one man's life represented: the best that surfing and Hawaii have to offer the world. The Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau is the most venerated big wave surfing event on Earth, held at Waimea Bay, Oahu, on a single day during the Hawaiian winter when, and if, waves exceed the 20-foot minimum requirement. The official holding period for this year, the 27th annual, is December 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012. |
