EddiesOcean Do you know anyone who put their own life at risk to save the life the lives of over 2000 strangers? Eddie Aikau did. He transcended the sport of surfing and is one of the biggest heroes of the 20th Century. That is why I named my son after him. Mahalo, brother Eddie. 4 months ago

AngieRees never turn your back on the ocean, especially in Hawaii. So blue, so full of warmth and salt, but such a current! My son did get the chance to surf Makaha, And I did live on Oahu for 4 years, watched many contests on the North Shore, especially Sunset, a favorite beach. Always respect your lifeguards, no matter where you are. They are the best in the water. Mahalo! last year

I lived on this island for 4 years, and watched those surfers on the north shore, and the contests, and to see it in person is unreal, the films cannot even do the ocean justice. The surfers of the North Shore of Oahu, as well as any Hawaiian Island are brave souls, with a deep love of the ocean. I have been in those waters, but not too far out, the current is way to strong for me. Mahalo to the lifeguards that keep watch over all our surfers. I remember when my 17 year old son tried to take on the waves at Makaha, I remember the lifeguards watching him, and everyone, always on their toes. We live in Southern California, he likes to surf Huntington or Bolsa, so the conditions over there are so much different, I think he was a bit taken a back. But, hey, the ocean, she's lovely, it's so warm in the water over there and so much salt, so much beauty, show respect, never turn your back on her. All pau now. last year

Bob Burnside “Castle in the Sand” (In memory of those departed friends) My Castle in the sand Alone I stand Watching the sea The seagulls and me To view the sun rise And work ’til it dies With wind in my face To shore the waves race. Those thoughts of my life So little of strife Yet filled with reward Seldom we’re bored. Fond years with good friends Through changes and trends How time races by Like clouds in the sky. To remember those days Green ten foot waves As sirens did scream For some… a bad dream. Together we dashed Through the surf as it crashed, To those souls in despair We’d finally get there. But those days settled down And from them we’d found A feeling inside Of a warm inner pride. last year

Wow...that picture of Micheal Schwartz blew me away. The guys from Rockaway and long Beach N.Y. must have given a big cheer. He was an incredible water man. Taught him all I know... God Bless his soul 3 years ago
