One of the many classic photographs captured by Shirley Rogers. @shirl4u2 
Her eye — and her camera — always saw a different perspective, offering an insider’s view of the North Shore. At a time when few women stood behind the lens in heavy water lineups, Shirley was there, present, trusted, and quietly documenting history as it unfolded.
These images aren’t just photographs — they’re lived moments. Glimpses of a place and time shaped by respect, community, and the rhythm of the sea. This is North Shore Hawaiian history, seen through the eyes of someone who belonged. #hui #budweiser #blackshorts

Ho’omaika’i Loa to our bossman @eddierothman for finally being recognized as the founder of the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Contest!  He shared the mo’olelo how he and Pops Aikau first spoke about putting the contest together - and also the first & second year’s winners Denton Miyamura & Clyde Aikau.  Eddie then called up Uncle Sol & Uncle Clyde’s children to recognize the legacy of the event…and how it will live on.

The Aikau ‘Ohana are also members of the Hui O He’e Nalu.  EŌ!

E Ola Aikau ‘Ohana!!
