SURF'S UP; BIG WAVES HIT HAWAII



Today some pretty nasty waves of 40 feet (9meters) and more hit the coast of Oahu's famous North Shore. High enough for an extreme surf competition the Eddie Aikau contest, which can only be held when wave heights are consistently 40 feet or higher. The competition is only held 8 times in the 25 years it has been held. The Winner will take home 55,000 dollars and the total purse for the competition is 98,000 dollars.
