T&C Surf is thrilled to announce a meet and greet with over big wave invitees and alternates of the 2025-2026 Eddie Big Wave Invitational.  The roots of the connection date back to Craig’s long-time friendship with EDDIE and the AIKAU Ohana.  It is with great pleasure that we build on this relationship and celebrate the legacy of EDDIE.

This exciting event will take place on Saturday, January 17th from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM at Ka Makana Ali'i at Center Court. Attendees will receive free autographed posters (while supplies last), win Eddie merchandise and have a chance to win the grand prize of a custom T&C Surf surfboard.

This is a unique opportunity for fans to meet this exclusive group of surfers who are destined to be part of big wave history.  Bring Eddie gear to get autographed, take selfies with your favorite surfers, and score free giveaways. The atmosphere will be fueled with live local entertainment.

The Eddie Big Wave Invitational is held at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu. This iconic contest has only run 11 times since its inception in 1984, but has been the venue for countless historic performances.   The last event ran on January 22, 2024 streaming over 6M live stream views from over 30 countries around the world. This year’s holding period started on December 7, 2025 and runs through March 6, 2026 and will only run if wave face heights consistently reach 40 feet.

For decades, T&C Surf has been a driving force in the world of surfing, leaving its mark on board design, athlete sponsorships, and grassroots competitions. The company’s commitment to innovation is evident in its support of legendary surfers like Larry Bertlemann, Dane Kealoha, Marvin Foster, Johnny Boy Gomes, and current powerhouse Billy Kemper. These partnerships have fostered advancements in board design, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the waves.

Mark your calendars for January 17th and don’t miss this chance to meet professional surfers.
