Paddling at the Bank

A-Frame's big game hunter Jason Murray scored a session of a lifetime out at Cortes Bank. A select group of international big wave riders, as well as 9-time world champ Kelly Slater motored out to the Bank on December 26th and caught what some would say is the best paddle-in session the place has ever seen. See a teaser here.

Will the Eddie Go?

The charts are off the meter right now and it looks like there's a solid chance to run The Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau event sometime between Sunday Dec. 6th and Tuesday the 8th. Quik has done an excellent job with their event site and offer a text alert so you won't miss any action from the most anticipated one-day event in the sport. We encourage you to sign up immediately. Once again we are the proud providers of this year's Eddie image taken by Dan Merkel. The image (seen above) was one of the "lost" images tucked away tightly in Merk's storage unit for the last 30 + years. It had never seen the light of day and ended up being special enough to be the face of the 25th Anniversary edition of the event. If that doesn't give you "chicken skin" I don't know what will.
