Thick Picks: Ed Catches Big Waves

February 11, 2010

The official blog of longtime Santa Barbara, California-based surfboard manufacturer Channel Island Surfboards has posted this great video of surfing legend and Eddie Vedder pal Kelly Slater surfing the big waves at Oahu, Hawaii’s Makaha Beach. Ed is in the vid also; he appears to be in the outrigger-esque canoe alongside in various shots.

Makaha Beach is known as a big wave surf spot and has hosted several big wave competitions over the years. Appropriately enough, the soundtrack to the nicely-shot four minute video is a chunk of Pearl Jam’s ”Big Wave” followed by “Oceans”. The CI Surfboard blog says “share and enjoy”, so here it is!

Aloha!
