"Eddie Would Go" is a famous phrase honoring Eddie Aikau, a legendary Hawaiian big-wave surfer and lifeguard.

Aikau was known for his fearless approach to massive waves and his deep commitment to saving lives as the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay.

The phrase originated from his willingness to take on waves that others deemed too dangerous. It became even more powerful after 1978, when Aikau disappeared at sea while attempting to seek help for his stranded crew during the Hōkūleʻa voyage.

Today, "Eddie Would Go" symbolizes courage, selflessness, and pushing beyond limits in the face of challenge.
