“I heard there was going to be a big swell but I never listen to the forecast. I’m one of those old school surfers who show up on the morning and you surf what you get. You hear every year people talking about ‘The Eddie swell, the Eddie swell”, that’s all you hear all winter long any time there’s a swell with some kind of substance behind it.

“I was staying about a quarter mile past Foodland, up toward Pipe, and I remember about 3.30 that morning hearing people walking outside my window talking. I’m like, ‘Shut the f@#k up!’ I’m not used to waking up that early. I thought they were just idiots doing drugs walking round the streets, but I get up and look out the window and I see all these cars parking and people everywhere, a constant flow of people heading toward Waimea. So I’ve called the buoys and I was like wow, the buoys have kinda come up; maybe the Eddie might be on. I went out to the garage started pulling out my big boards, woke the kids up, and drove down to Waimea at five in the morning. We went to get coffee at Starbucks and I swear there were a hundred people in there. I figured whatever. Got coffee and got to the bay at 5.30. We couldn’t even see the waves but you got the feeling they were going to run.

“Everyone’s looking, looking, but the swell hadn’t really filled in. It was like a ‘not again’ kinda feeling. Everyone is saying it’s coming, and we waited till nine or 10 and we got the call that we don’t think we’re gonna run. There were back-to-back swells, so maybe they might run tomorrow. I thought it might be a good Makaha day so I drove over to the West Side, surfed a little bit, and came back to the North Shore at about 3pm. I drove past Waimea and it was just pumping. I’ve thought shit, I better go and get my board.

“I was calling everybody but they must have already been surfing. Then as I was driving down there Kala and those guys were coming the other way, and they’re out the windows of their car yelling, ‘It’s big, it’s closing out!’ I pulled up in the car park and the first thing I saw were three waves break completely across the bay. I had Keith Jardine and Big John McCarthy, two UFC cage fighters in the car with me, and I’m thinking, well, I guess I got no choice. I’m going out.

“I went out and caught a couple, and it was bombing. I turned around on the first wave of a set and went over the falls, and when I came up I got two 30-foot waves on the head. I thought I was going to drown, I swallowed a lot of water. The swell was kinda pulsing toward dark, and you kinda knew they were going to run the Eddie the next day. I didn’t get much sleep that night; it’s always hard the night before the Eddie. But I spent a lot of that night awake because I’d swallowed so much water that day that my lungs were gurgling saltwater. My wife thought I was going to drown in my sleep.” – Sunny Garcia

Gallium || Ga

This element is so interesting to me. It has a melting temperature of about 85 degrees Fahrenheit, which is slightly above room temperature. If you hold this metal it will begin to melt in your hand.
