Aikau's first experience in bigger waves came through John Kelly and Sammy Lee, who took him out to big Sunset in early 1967. On November 19 of that year he took on huge Waimea Bay. All the great big-wave riders of the day were out: Greg Noll, Rick Grigg, Felipe Pomar and George Downing. Aikau, just a normal Hawaiian kid possessed by who knew what, dominated the lineup from start to finish, while young Clyde watched amazed from the cliff. Photos from that day appeared in Life magazine, and suddenly Aikau was a star.
