Nine Years of Music and Surfing

---

Onstage accepting Pollstar’s 2025 Music Festival of the Year (Global, Under 30k Attendance) Award for Ohana Festival, Eddie says, I am representing the team, the crew, the family.. Ohana means family in Hawaii.. It is a family. 
Now, we work close with some of the local dignitaries and the parks department and we’ve had a great, great relationship. We’ve been able to fuse two of the biggest loves in our lives, some of our crew, and it’s surfing and music. So, we’re on the beach, it’s one of the only places you can catch a world class wave and hear Sting in perfect sound live as you’re catching a wave into the shore. 
It started with that idea, just a show on the beach. It’s been nine years now, we have not fucked it up yet - that’s plenty of time to fuck something up but we have not, and we don’t plan to. My good friends Mark Smith, Rich Best, Nicole Belinky, Chris Siglin.. It’s been quite a team and this will stand as a representation of excellence and being recognized for it. We are very very grateful, thank you (Watch).
