Jaw-Dropping Eddie Aikau XXL Swell: One of the Biggest Surf Sessions Seen This Year – Watched by Kiwi Surf Fans!

The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational at Jaws (Peʻahi), Maui delivered one of the most insane XXL swells in recent history — a once-in-a-decade surf session that had the entire global surf community in awe, including New Zealand's passionate surf scene. With monster waves towering over 60 feet, fearless surfers dropped into some of the heaviest conditions ever captured on film.

This jaw-dropping footage is resonating deeply with Kiwi surfers, who understand the power and respect needed to ride waves of this magnitude. From Piha and Raglan to Gisborne and Dunedin, New Zealand’s own big-wave surfers and ocean lovers can appreciate the technical skill, raw courage, and deep connection to surf culture that this session represents.

Eddie Aikau’s legacy — “Eddie Would Go” — also speaks to the rugged surf ethos shared by many New Zealanders, where community, courage, and conservation all collide. This epic swell serves as inspiration for Aotearoa’s wave chasers and a reminder of the global brotherhood of surfing.

Whether you're riding the West Coast swells or just a fan of cinematic surf storytelling, this video is a must-watch for anyone who lives for the ocean.
