This doesn’t happen often here in Hawaii but when it does, it’s big news and the lead story. Caleb Jones with details and a video on some 60 foot waves at Waimea Bay and the surfers who ride them.
They got what they hoped for as huge sets of monster waves crashed onto the outer reef of the bay, producing some waves that organizers estimate were 60 feet tall.
Clyde Aikau is the only competitor to surf in all eight previous competitions and is the oldest at 66 to compete in this year’s event.
Awesome sight.
