The Eddie could run tomorrow

http://live.quiksilver.com/2009/eddie/news.php?btn_news=_over

"All eyes are on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - all three days are forecast to exceed the event's required minimum threshold of 20 feet." (our Tuesday is their Monday)

Jamie Mitchell has been invited as an alternative so hopefully it runs and he has an opportunity to surf...

Hey Mr Dogman,

I have the Blue Gath out and about on the red PSH and Kristi has the Pink one covered and she is riding a Bananarama Yellow 8'10 tomorrow in some nice west coast juice.

I think we have the loud shirt thing covered

If anyone's been to the bay ,you would know a two foot shore break CAN drag you way out the back in no time. This is one serious place,in awe of the POWER.

There always seems to be party waves at waimea in all the footage I have seen over the years. Just guessing but it is really crowded and the wave is one big drop with no wall to work with so drop ins do not effect the ride that much. Not ideal but it seems to be a fact of life out there. Makes for spectacular photos and fantastic wipeouts no wonder ikiaka has a smarty hat on which does not wear at pipe???

Someone who has surfed it may be able to comment more accurately.

I was in awe of the double head high shore break, swimming that was a highlight.

With Tom Carroll out injured this may open the door for Jamie Mitcell, as an alternate.

It looks likely that it will run tomorrow...

How come no Tony Ray? Almost won the contest a few years ago, now not on the invited list. One of the very best in my opinion.

The word is that the Eddie is about 90% gonna go tomorrow (12/08/2009) North winds are backing down and turning more into trades so it should be epic! Just hope the swell isnt too big and closes out the bay. The spot today was Jaws on Maui, lots of epic shots coming out of there.

Yep, you would think Tony Ray would get a spot, surfs big waves better than most .

That was great.. Andy's shore break barrel was epic.

Great stuff by Kelly Slater (2nd) and Greg Long (1st).
