He moved to\u00a0O\u02bbahu\u00a0with his family in 1959, and at the age of 16 left school and started working at the Dole pineapple cannery; the paycheck allowed Aikau to buy his first surfboard. In 1968, he became the first lifeguard hired by the\u00a0City &amp; County of Honolulu\u00a0to work on the North Shore. The City &amp; County of Honolulu gave Aikau the task of covering all of the beaches between\u00a0Sunset\u00a0and\u00a0Haleiwa. Not one life was lost while he served as lifeguard of\u00a0Waimea Bay, as he braved waves that often reached 30 feet (9.1\u00a0m) high or more.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEColeman200490\u201391_5-0\" class=\"reference\">[5]<\/sup>\u00a0In 1971, Aikau was named Lifeguard of the Year.<sup id=\"cite_ref-6\" class=\"reference\">[6]<\/sup>\u00a0On February 28, 1978, TV producer John Orland was the last person Aikau rescued at Waimea Bay.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lost_at_seaedit\"><\/span><span id=\"Lost_at_sea\" class=\"mw-headline\">Lost at sea<\/span><span class=\"mw-editsection\"><span class=\"mw-editsection-bracket\">[<\/span>edit<span class=\"mw-editsection-bracket\">]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 1978, the\u00a0Polynesian Voyaging Society\u00a0was seeking volunteers for a 30-day, 2,500-mile (4,000\u00a0km) journey to follow the ancient route of the Polynesian migration between the Hawaiian and\u00a0Tahitian\u00a0island chains. Aikau joined the voyage as a crew member. The double-hulled voyaging canoe\u00a0<i>H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba<\/i>\u00a0left the Hawaiian islands on March 16, 1978.

According to maritime historian Mac Simpson, &#8220;Aikau was a legend on the North Shore, pulling people out of waves that no one else would dare to.

Only Eddie dared.&#8221;<sup id=\"cite_ref-burlingame_8-1\" class=\"reference\">[8]<\/sup>\u00a0The phrase originated during the first Eddie contest. The waves were huge and the conditions were extremely dangerous. While the contest organizers were discussing whether to put it on,\u00a0Mark Foo\u00a0looked at the conditions and said &#8220;Eddie would go.&#8221; The phrase stuck and then Eddie went.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEColeman2004_2-1\" class=\"reference\">[2]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Another variation of the aforementioned popular phrase is &#8220;Eddie wouldn&#8217;t tow.&#8221; This phrase is in reference to the method of\u00a0big wave surfing\u00a0in which one surfer must accelerate another surfer (the former on a\u00a0jet ski, the latter towed on a\u00a0surfboard) to the speed of a large, fast wave. It is also partially in response to the controversy over the &#8220;unnaturalness&#8221; of\u00a0tow-in surfing; many surfers feel that being towed in to a wave, as opposed to paddling, is against the spirit of the sport.<sup id=\"cite_ref-15\" class=\"reference\">[15]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Other variations of the phrase include &#8220;Eddie would throw&#8221; (in support of the\u00a0University of Hawaii&#8217;s passing attack by\u00a0Colt Brennan\u00a0and\u00a0Timmy Chang\u00a0under head coach\u00a0June Jones), &#8220;Eddie wouldn&#8217;t crow&#8221; (in opposition to boastful and egotistical surfers), and &#8220;Eddie would hoe&#8221; (in support of Native Hawaiian agricultural outreach programs). Another variation used recently during the 2008 election campaign for\u00a0Honolulu rail transit\u00a0was the slogan, &#8220;Eddie would ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kailua-Kona, Hawaii musician Lopaka Rootz released a reggae single honoring Eddie Aikau called &#8220;Eddie.&#8221; It debuted on Kapa Radio in December 2019.
