Slideshows - Eddies Dress Rehearsal

In my three seasons I have never seen The Eddie tower standing in all its glory. This is a good sign. A go or no go will be made at 6AM – 6PM South African time. All images by Kelly Cestari

Caution you have been warned.

Log Cabins was the main sight of Kam Highway becoming a wash way.

Traffic was more like 2 miles per hour

The other side of Kam Highway was just as blocked. It took some an hour to get from Sunset to Haleiwa which is normally a 15min journey.

Good filming angles were hard to come by.

Sunny Garcia checked in for an afternoon session and will again for Round 1 Heat 4.

Sit too long and you may question your sanity.

Dorian and another moment of self induced madness.

Dorian sharing again.

Dorian was clearly the crazy man to watch during the arvo session.

You day is only over once you speak to the camera. Look out for Dorian in Round 1 Heat 3.

Unidentified doing it for the no names.

Will we witness an shore break madness like Bruce Irons the last time the Eddie ran in ‘04/’05?

The Sunset lifeguard tower was unhinged for the first time ever.

At the end of the day just relax they are only waves.
