Some of the best surfers in the world are watching the waves on Thursday and prepares to compete in one of the most prestigious events surf big waves of Hawaii.
The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau event only takes place when the waves at Waimea Bay Top 20 feet, which has not happened since 2009. Waimea only gets huge waves in the winter, so the organizers block a three-month window December to February and the hope of a Pacific storm.
They got their wish this year - with only a few days of margin.
A Pacific storm with hurricane force winds north of Hawaii holds powerful swells. Surfline.com forecaster Jonathan Warren said Waimea Bay could see the waves of 35-50 feet.
The organizers had hoped to run the event earlier this month but had to cancel when the surf was lower than expected.
Only 28 of the best big wave surfers in the world were invited to compete, including American Greg Long, who won the competition in 2009.
