Kelly Slater was in Hawaii this week to attend the 2011 Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational in Waimea Bay, Hawaii.
Slater has been confirmed in the 27th edition of the Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau.
According to Surfertoday.com: The 10-time world surfing champion was one of the invited riders and will paddle out, if a big swell hits Waimea Bay, in Hawaii, between December 1st and February 29, 2012.

The opening ceremony has already taken place and the elite surfers gave their hands to praise the gods. It’s a rare international sporting event that can have no set date, be held just eight times in a span of 27 years, and still gain strength.

But the lifeblood of the big wave Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau lies in what one man’s life represented: the best that surfing and Hawaii have to offer the world.
