this webgeek one of the best compliments ever
for a set pix eye snapped on the day The Eddie went ...
Yo Danno!
Congratulations!!
Your Eddie Aikau slide show at
http://holoholo.org/quikeddy/index.html
is the best surfing presentation I've (seen) on the 'net.
I watched all four TV channels Sunday night and thought the surfing looked
ho-hum
(this from a guy who actually caught a few shoulders at Waimea years
ago and I still treasure the experience).
So when I checked out your slideshow, I was blown away.
Not every pic was
perfect, but you captured the excitement and energy of Waimea.
