In May, The Cary celebrates Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a spotlight on Hawaii’s heroic lifeguards, including Clyde Aikau & Terry Ahue.

Clyde Aikau was the younger brother of legendary pioneering big wave surfer, Eddie Aikau, and was the first native Hawaiian surfer to win the Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship in 1973. Terry Ahue worked alongside legendary surfer, Eddie Aikau, and was the co-founder of the Hawaiian Water Patrol on the North Shore of Oahu. Ahue was also a stuntman on big screen films including Jurassic World and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

 
From Academy Award Nominated MacGillivray Freeman Films, Big Wave Guardians, is the epic surf film that everyone will refer to as life-changing. It’s the most honest, behind the scenes look at how the lifeguard profession began, and where it is today. Hawaii’s North Shore is the world’s most dangerous 7-mile stretch of beach. Massive swells, life-and-death rescues, and “the best job in the world” — yet often the most hazardous one — is the compelling drama of Hawaii’s big wave guardians. As surfers push the limits and crowds increase, a small group of heroes have reinvented water safety on a parallel track to the rising dangers. Addicting thrills VS inherent peril — they are caught up in both. Surfing’s elite watermen risk their lives to save their friends while challenging a realm beyond.
