Legend of surfer Eddie Aikau becomes topic for ESPN




Big-wave specialist and lifeguard is subject of ‘30 for 30’ season premiere

Eddie Aikau was not afraid of big waves. The Hawaiian lifeguard wouldn’t give it a second thought to run into the surf with pounding waves that were 20 feet tall to make a rescue. Nor would he think twice about surfing those big waves.

Long before the likes of big-wave surfers Greg Long, Grant “Twiggy” Baker, Mark Healey, and Garrett McNamara there was Aikau, legendary big-wave surfer and beloved lifeguard.

In 1969, Aikau was the first lifeguard hired by Honolulu to work on the North Shore. Not one life was lost at Waimea Bay while Aikau was on duty.
