It is 6.pm Tuesday when we arrive at the North Shore to secure parking for the Eddie event, but not before we hit the Mcdonalds drive inn. Two happy meals and two dollor burgers should do it! We camped out in the car with two kids in tow. The surf rumbled like a freight train from 3 AM on. Not to mention it was a full moon so it was like sleeping with the light on.
The Buoys were screaming 25 plus for a week now. Event organators really called on the island as gossip and rumors started to feed the frenzy on the North shore. By 7 PM there was people camping out at sharks cove with us . Parking was non to be had. Tents ,barbies,and happy people fed the euphoria and anticipation.
At 6.AM we woke to a starbucks coffee and totally exhausted from sleep deprivation. Pure adrenaline is what every body was running on (well in my camp) , we started our trek to the bay along with 1000 people like zombie's heading to a AC/DC concert. No standing room, the waves would come in every 28 miutes, cameras and excited people spilled out into the road on curve side. Tom Carroll was interview for KITV as we approached, Aloha Tom! followed by a quick good luck hug and then there was Sunny Garcia it was like family picnic!
