Ku Ikaika!!





The 2010 QUIKSILVER KU IKAIKA CHALLENGE
Presented by C4 Waterman

EYES ON SUNDAY/MONDAY FOR POSSIBLE ‘GO’

(Makaha, HI) – January 26, 2010 — Organizers of the third annual Quiksilver Ku Ikaika Challenge, presented by C4 Waterman, are closely watching a developing swell that could see the event run this weekend. While tomorrow’s swell has officially been ruled a no-go, the following system may deliver contestable waves of 15-feet-plus this Sunday into Monday. Tomorrow’s swell is only expected to show around 12 feet at Makaha, accompanied by less-than-favorable winds. An update on the ensuing weekend swell will be issued as the system develops.

The Quiksilver Ku Ikaika Challenge is a big-wave, stand up paddle (SUP) invitational surfing competition that runs on one day when wave face heights exceed 15 feet at Makaha Point, on the west shore of Oahu. The event holding period runs through February 28, 2010.
