And son of Pipe legend Liam McNamara, singer, songwriter, model Landon McNamara scoops the win!
The world’s fourth sexiest big-wave surfer Laura Enever has been rushed to hospital, and emergency surgery, after a horror wipeout at the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, held in what Billy Kemper described, with characteristic hyperbole, as sixty foot.
Laura Enever, who is thirty-three and who learned and polished her formidable skills at Sydney’s North Narrabeen, holds the Guinness world record for biggest wave ever paddled into by a woman and was, therefore, an automatic start in the prestigious big-wave event.
You play you pay, as they say in the Islands, and Enever got it good.
“Unfortunately the Waimea shore break and my fin had other plans,” Enever posted, as she waited to go under the knife. “In knee deep water my board hit the back of my leg. I touched my leg and my fingers went in deep. A massive hole in my leg and what’s looking like a vascular injury… Crushed it ended this way but I had the most incredible morning ever beforehand. Thank you for all the love and thank you to spectators and Joey who helped me up the beach and lifeguards and emergency crew for looking after me.”
Landon McNamara, meanwhile, sealed his win in the penultimate heat of the day with a perfect ride.

“I was following a turtle out there. For real. That to me was the Spirit of Eddie, and Eddie chooses who wins. I’m just so thankful he picked me,” said Landon.

Landon wins fifty gees and a chair in that hallowed pantheon of Eddie winners, which also includes John John Florence, Kelly Slater and Eddie’s brother Clyde.
mediocar or tapeoga? we forget…we chew gum or go out fightin’ drummers and non-essentials (FDNE’s)
Results seemed like a family gift to the winner. No more HamSammishes for you.
Wiped out in 60 foot wave. Laura Never again. Actually stood in knee deep water when speared by her own board. Survived the reality of circumstances. Does show to a point, so to speak, that the shore break on giant WB days has a power that would put any wave out there to shame.
Eddie chose Laura. Thank him. Next M’a’ku’a’a Rothman will give a speech becuz he so stronk n brafe Hawaiian. Yeah boyz.
not at all, just saying if “Eddie chooses the winner”, wouldn’t Eddie choose a Hawaiian?
Other than that, I agree. Hawaii is a very superstitious place.
ps I can’t believe you replied seriously to a beach grit comment.
have a great holiday.
Haha, that’s rich coming from a Trump bum boy.
and don’t forget jeesuz
Uhhhhhhh, Don’t know what the connection is, but have a great Christmas, Bob.

mean while, RCJ breaks board on last wave shreds his hand , gets 30 stiches……and yeah biased , but he was on fire but just didn’t get the waves he wanted!
Out your depth being caned from every angle when bailing. End game possibility. Or stood in knee deep water as Laura reported you can meet your maker in a heartbeat. Waimea on such a day is a place like no other in that regard. The worshipful master takes no prisoners.
Moscow Mitch was bodysurfing Wimea?
50G’s buys lotsa weed! To bad Laura! Mele Kalikimaka erybodeh!… Always listen to Turtle!….
Now he be Landon himself on the cover of all these News rags…. shooootz cuz!
…..another “turtle” story? LoL!
Oh oh… wait ’til another certain lover of turtles sees Landon’s quotes here…
are sea turtles considered aumakua if they’re outside of the islands? last time I saw one in the Trestles area there was a 30 minute flat spell thereafter and my truck got totaled the next day, so I might have an ancestor that doesn’t like me.
I am in deep shit , as Turtle soup before a Koala bear burger…finest grits on the p[lanet!
Get well MC!
Im glad her other fin chop is still in working order.
Comment of 2024 goes to…
Good point.
Should she ever need to have it inspected to make sure it’s functioning properly, I’d be willing to volunteer my services.
Hawaiian? Landon is not Hawaiian.
His pops, Liam is an Irish lad from Massachusetts and his mom is from Santa Cruz…..
but Eddie chose him, so get over it.
then howd he get so brown?
hang on…..ya reckon Landon has no..color in him because of his parentage??
looks like the milkman might have some claim as he was not white!
Dunno, my wife is way darker and she’s not Hawaiian.
Think his mom or grands have some latin in em’
Have a fantastic Christmas, Mo.
Repeat of the Clyde turtle story.
evangelicals know a hit when they hear one
….and who these days is not a singer, songwriter, model?
EDDIE chooses who wins?
Awwwwwerighty then.
I’m not a model though I do the rest. As gay af as that is.
Xox
Im just a model, hot af
as one of the top male and female models of the 1990’s I was told by my agent that I was not allowed to be a singer; although I had a voice like Pavorotti.
Heshethemthey told me if a still shot was ever captured of my singer “facial contortions”, my career would be over, so I resigned myself to a brilliant modeling career and many great karaoke performances.
Merry Christmas Nuts
The more you know hey!
Merry Christmas Happy.

Bit of a shock he’s not an activist though
activism only pays the minimum. Like, the Challenger series…
Lotta work going on in here to criticise a metaphor.
I do it for the people.
That was fucken beautiful what he wrote there an I wish I could surf waves like that . . .I might get a root.
You could deeks! Call Pyzel up and order that new 10′ padalac for pick up (I would go with a custom spray job so it will be easier to spot yourself on surfline cam rewind). Book that flight. Don’t forget to order your inflation vest and extra cartridges. Probably want that oakley helmet too. When you land make sure to flash some Benjamins in front of the lifegaurd tower. Then lastly you just need to befriend a local with a working ski. Now after all that is said and done you can go out there on a 10-15′ day with 50 of your best friends and prove to all the women on the beach how much of a man you are.
Fuck that . sounds like work
