Luke Shepardson’s world has been turned upside-down after winning “The Eddie” last month. The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational – dubbed the “Super Bowl of surfing” – is a big wave surfing tournament held at Waimea Bay on the North shore - named after big wave surfer and Waimea Bay lifeguard, Eddie Aikau. Luke took time off from his lifeguarding post at Waimea Bay to compete in the event and finished with a near-perfect score of 89.1 points, ahead of defending champion John John Florence in second. Luke stopped by to talk about his epic win and why he won’t quit his day job anytime soon.
