Some of the biggest swell in a decade (others saying 40 years) and the contest has only run a handful of times over the past 25 years, last one being held in 2004. Ok maybe not "historical" but definetely worth watching... you never know when itll be held next.

**Chev** · 12-08-2009, 11:11 AM

Looks like they have to wait a bit until another set comes.

**dan.nj** · 12-08-2009, 11:12 AM

Thats the pacific for you... theyre saying sets may come every 10 minutes.

**doug** · 12-08-2009, 11:15 AM

EPIC! good call man, I had no idea thanks alot. The winters have apparently been so shitty in Hawaii recently this is sick

**Chev** · 12-08-2009, 11:25 AM

Some of these waves are HUGE!

**Teddy Parker** · 12-08-2009, 11:39 AM

Kelly Slater just RIPPED into that biggun. Took it to the shore love it. Highest wave score... like 93 or something...

**dan.nj** · 12-08-2009, 11:42 AM

98 I believe. And Clyde Aikau riding these waves at 60 years of age... wow.

**benmasters** · 12-08-2009, 11:43 AM

kelly's 98. holy shit

**Chev** · 12-08-2009, 11:53 AM

That wave was nuts, and he rode it straight through into the shorebreak haha, soo sick. I cant imagine the amount of underpull that water has today.

**doug** · 12-08-2009, 11:56 AM

Bruce Irons is about to paddle out... if anyone remembers in '04 he got a perfect ten after he took one all the way in and got barreled on a double overhead drainer in the shorebreak. The man is nuts

**dan.nj** · 12-08-2009, 12:38 PM

3rd heat def seeing less bombs unfortunately although they said the bouys are pickin back up again... either way its great to be watching this. And Bruce's shorebreak barrel in 04 was amazing.

**RexSkimmer** · 12-08-2009, 01:04 PM

**Teddy Parker** · 12-08-2009, 03:26 PM

Andy and Jamie's BIG closeout BOMBS... (Less than an hour later or something...)

**dan.nj** · 12-08-2009, 03:28 PM

Kellys basically got it on lock... hope to see a wave that changes that though.

**zeus** · 12-08-2009, 05:35 PM

**dan.nj** · 12-08-2009, 05:41 PM

Bruce popped his cherry waaaay too early. He had tons of time left and was already out of the water before the biggest sets came in.

pipes looking equally as good too... all the sands out the reef should be hollow and pumping. Couldnt have asked for a better way to spend nearly 8 hours of my day.
