Matt has proven himself out there over the last few years, culminating in his invite to the latest version of the event. Jaws \/ Pe\u2019ahi is situated on the island of Maui and delivers perfect 60-foot waves on the right conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theeddieaikau.com\/\">Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational<\/a> is possibly the most prestigious big wave event in the world, and arguably the toughest to get an invite into. Matt has been charging though, making a name for himself in big wave circles across the globe, and was a clear invite into the tournament. This contest takes place at Waimea Bay, on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii and is one of the most celebrated big wave surf locations in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing invited to The Eddie is just such a privilege and an honour,\u201d said the Monster Energy athlete Bromley when he heard about the invite. \u201cI know guys like Tony Moniz who surfed in this event years ago, and they are absolute heroes to me, and to be able to surf in the same contest as they did, up against Kelly Slater and John John and Kai Lenny is an absolute honour. I just hope a massive swell comes and I can get there. When I saw my name on the list I was just like, \u2018no ways, that\u2019s insane.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with Bromley, Grant \u2018Twiggy\u2019 Baker is the three-times big wave world champion from Durban who has been invited into the same two events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021-2022 Eddie Invitees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Gold, Andrea Moller, Ben Wilkinson, Billy Kemper, Bruce Irons, Danilo Couto, Eli Olson, Emily Erickson, Ezekiel Lau, Grant Baker, Greg Long,&nbsp; Ian Walsh, Jamie O\u2019Brien, Jamie Mitchell, John John Florence, Justine Dupont, Kai Lenny, Keala Kennelly, Keali\u2019i Mamala, Kelly Slater, Koa Rothman, Kohl Christensen, Landon McNamara, Lucas Chianca, Luke Shepardson, Makani Adric, Makuakai Rothman, Mark Healey Mason Ho, Matt Bromley, Michael Ho, Nathan Florence, Nathan Fletcher, Paige Alms, Peter Mel, Ross Clarke-Jones, Shane Dorian, Taio Shipman, Tikanui Smith and Tyler Larronde.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111311\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=111311\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" class=\"wp-image-111311 size-full lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cape-town-big-wave-surfer-matt-bromley-invited-to-compete-in-two-prestigious-big-wave-events.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-111311 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cape-town-big-wave-surfer-matt-bromley-invited-to-compete-in-two-prestigious-big-wave-events.jpg\" alt width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt Bromley, Mavericks.
