What does Memory of Eddie Aikau winner, the man at the Volcom house, and a nobody have in common? - Another great Red Bull Rival event!

Today was Red Bull Rivals at Sandys. it's a cool event where North Shore and South Shore surfers compete against each other for bragging rights and the losing team surfers have to give their surfboards to the other team. The boards are going to be donated to Surfrider Foundation so they can raise money by raffling or auctioning them.

I was asked to judge the event with Noah Johnson (1999 The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau event, aka Eddie Would Go event at Waimea Bay), and Kai Borg (The man at the Volcom house). How could I say no to that! I don't even know how i got asked since i'm nobody compare to these guys. But was stoked to be part of it for sure.

It was super exciting close game, the scores were going back and forth between North and South all day. And the winner was....

South Shore!

No, no. "Sister" Moniz is not sponsored by Bud Light, it was Sean Moody's board. That's right, they weren't kidding when they said the boards go to the winning team.

MVP went to...

Zeke Lau!

His little sisters were there to support him and i think it worked! he was ripping out there.

I gotta mention Isaiah Moniz, he was surfing unreal out there getting barrels, shove-its, and huge hacks.

It was a great event with lot of groms like Noa Mizuno, Seth Moniz, Alessa Quizon, Kelia "Sister" Moniz, Kalani David, etc.

Thanks Red Bull for putting another great event! They are premiering "Who's J.O.B." by Jamie O'Brien in an hour in Waikiki. i got no sleep last night and i'm waking up early to go check out the North Shore Manahune contest so i'll be just working tonight.

I'll see you all tomorrow at Haleiwa!
