Congratulations to Landon McNamara for an amazing accomplishment. The Eddie Aikau Invitational is without a doubt the most prestigious surfing event in the world. Deservedly so, and for many reasons. Congratulations to all of whom organized, and orchestrated this remarkable event, very well done. It seems the event is growing substantially in it's interests worldwide year over year. Tremendous respect to the Aikau Family, and each surfer who entered the water to participate. This is the heart of the sport, and we all get to see it. Start to finish, just breathtaking! Bravo to all! C A
Fantastic win for Landon. A truly once in a lifetime day, the sport and spirit of surfing and the beauty and power of the waves at Waimea bay were the true winners. All these guys are the best of the best, surfing on a awesome day they are all winners. The Hawaiian gods, mother nature makes the waves happen.
Such an amazing day! Huge congrats to the event team and to everyone out there charging hard all day long in crazy-huge surf, especially Landon for the well deserved win...what a dream!
I’m a big fan of the Hawaiian CT surfers but this showed me of course there are underground guys that despite knowing his dad I’d never heard of and the Eddie has brought that to light for me at least What a great thing and lovely to see him with his family so appreciative
Crazy to think he really only considers himself a musician and then goes out and bombs a perfect run and wins The Eddie! Great musician great surfer! Congrats brother!🤙🏻
So Great - put the big checks away - It ain’t about the money - makes my day - you are the SOUL bro !!!! Seeing you , a real man , humble and modest , win this with all your friends !!!!👏👏👏👏👏. Merry Christmas you winner !!!!!
So proud of Landon!!!!! "From the underground to the crown 👑" is RIGHT! SO PONO, SO AKAMAI! The North Shore is celebrating hard roght now, Ocean rewarded all them in 2024 - Nathan brought home the Pipe Masters (Florence fam is legendary) and Landon brought home The Eddie (while having multiple songs on HI radio jammin) ❤🤙🏼❤️🤙🏼 cheeeeeeeeeehuuuu!!!
This guy seems great guy, humble and balls of steel, hats off to him …but It seemed there were some better waves. He went straight while other Shepardson and Florence had nice long rides on equally as big waves. 🤷♀️ Congrats either way! All winners here
I tried to watch the contest. Horrible coverage. Announcers couldn't keep up on who was in the water or riding a wave, what color the surfers were wearing, or what the scores on waves were. They were too busy talking, joking, or thanking everyone under the sun. They didn't seem to actually care about informing or relating to the viewers. I had no idea how the surfers were scored after they rode a wave. For most of the contest, I had no idea who was at the top of the leaderboard. It was not a good time watching. Had SO much more fun watching Nathan's pipeline podcast.

The Hawaiian people are proud, as they should be. For hundreds of years they haven’t gotten the respect they deserve from too many outsiders. I can see why Hawaiians could feel as though the Eddie isn`t their contest anymore.
Seems so humbled by it all - respect and congratulations - noticed his wife watching by his side.... so nice....
Congrats, Landon. He in shock because Luke's wave was so good too.
Huge respect to those wave warriors.
Exactly ❤
I thought Luke Sheppardsons wave was the standout, way better than anyone else. He deserved the win
@@jaycee571 well it is a combined 3 wave score

Esp when he spoke of gnarly waves and being stoked.
It made me swell with surf culture pride.
And it made me giggle with glee.

I was there for the 16 Eddie, I couldn't make it out today... wish I could have been there.
These guys fascinate the shit out of me. Such an elite group of people and what a fine nuclear family to be a part of. Love hearing their stories.
Epic contest, epic quote, respect brah 🤙🏽. Mele Kalikimaka
Landon !!!!❤
🤙Mammoth waves and a worthy victor...
Dude took off two paddles under the lip of a 20 footer and made it! Incredible.
Why did you say 20 feet when it was closer to 40 feet? Is this a Hawaiian macho thing involving measuring the back of the wave instead of the front?
Every time I watch the Eddie I remember brock RIP congratulations Landon
Finally a Hawaiian.
he is a whitey brah😂
A great Irish name from Co Clare
Stoked Landon won
Congratulations!!!
Dang…. Insane waves and wipe outs… Congrats. 👏👏🌊
He could not have been deeper on that set. Well deserved win!
Dude your badass dude
Awesome!
Nice,everyone safe,fun day

Pokalolo works great in surfing.
"underground to the crown" sounds like a song title...right? maybe a lyrical hook...
Yessah lando LFG

Poor fella is overtaken, seems like he is… AT A LOSS FOR WORDS

Ug00d boy....♡
His daddy run the constest if you were windering why that wave "won".
Luke Sheppardson deserved the win
Idk they paid the winners huh I figured it was all about the pride. Congrats on the quarter million purse. I guess Eddie would Sell Out too yeah /s
I think it's cheating for Jesus to compete in a surf competition 😂 but congrats I guess
The directors son won. Hmm sounds rigged. Lol. Hawaiian people need to make their own eddie. Where native Hawaiians are in charge of their sport
He did pretty good in last years Eddie, he has skills whether you wanna believe it or not.
Ummm...
😂🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
The Hawaiian people are proud, as they should be. For hundreds of years they haven’t gotten the respect they deserve from too many outsiders. I can see why Hawaiians could feel as though the Eddie isn`t their contest anymore.
I watched the entire thing. You're wrong. Be gracious to the winner. Have some dignity.
