Kelly Slater takes on a 20 to 25 foot monster wave for a near-perfect score of 98 of 100 in the Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau, Big Waves Hawaii. The last 'Eddie' was in 2004. Waves are required to be in the 20 to 30 foot range. Slater was covered by the wave but cruised out from the white water with holding his hand in 'number one' sign.LUCY PEMONI PHOTO.
