Greg Long wins Quiksilver Eddie Aikau

I count myself extremely fortunate to have happened onto the TV broadcast of the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Surfing Tournament, having read two days ago that there were going to be monster waves on Waimea.

Much like I say about vertical mountain climbing, it sure would be fun to have the talent to do something like that for fun (and also be able to survive it).

It's going to be on again, on Fuel TV, if you have a big cable lineup:

Greg Long edged surfing god Kelly Slater for the championship.

Don't look back, dude.
