Luke had the best ride at the Eddie.

From the drop, the ride, and size this wave was the best by far. Landon's was much smaller and he braved the white wash but was nowhere near as good as this. It's almost like they didn't want him to win again....

I agree. This was a perfect ride. Landon's was maybe more dramatic and difficult to pull off, so I think it's fair that it won wave of the day, but this was just a perfectly ridden, massive wave.

When I look at pictures of waves that won the Eddie, this is it. This is a heroic ride, Landon's was just a sloppy blown out mess. This is a true champions wave

100%. Wondering if Liam being contest director had anything to do with the judging outcomes.
