Eddie Would Go is the only biography of one of Hawaiis greatest heroes. As a surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as a lifeguard, he saved hundreds of lives from the North Shores treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save his fellow sailors aboard the voyaging canoe Hokulea.
SynopsisEddie Would Go is the only biography of one of Hawai'i's greatest heroes. Eddie Aikau was a humble man who was larger than life. As a surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as a lifeguard, he saved hundreds of lives from the North Shore's treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save his fellow sailors aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule'a. But more than a biography of a courageous waterman, Stuart Coleman's Eddie Would Go also tells the story of modern Hawai'i and Eddie's role in the Hawaiian Renaissance during the 1970's. The book is based on numerous interviews with family and friends, along with Hawai'i's leading watermen and scholars, and Coleman weaves together their memories in an exciting and informative story. By exploring his legendary life and legacy, this book will show why Eddie has become such an enduring icon in Hawai'i and the surfing world. Book jacket.
Love the islands? Love the beaches, shore, waves? This is a book for you. Not just a "surfer" boy, but how he became such a hero to so many, so quickly. Truly a book about love, Hawaiian people, those who came later to challenge and bring innovation to this ancient of sports, and lose. A lose to so many, still aggrieved, always loved, and filled with aloha.
