Surfing and the ocean shaped his upbringing, along with the phrase \u201cEddie Would Go,\u201d which was woven into his everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Before Jack was born, his father, Henry Soren, served as a lifeguard at Waimea Bay alongside Eddie Aikau. Jack grew up hearing stories of long days at the bay, where his father and Eddie saved countless lives together. After his father passed away when Jack was 15, those memories became even more meaningful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6545\/3497\/files\/Henry_Soren_Action.jpg?v=1771910130\"><\/p>\n<p>Creativity runs just as deeply in his family lineage. Jack\u2019s father was not only a lifeguard but also a jeweller, crafting intricate Hawaiian heritage pieces from gold. He inspired Jack\u2019s own artistic journey, which began at young age with graffiti and later evolved into large-scale murals.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6545\/3497\/files\/Creativity.jpg?v=1771910745\"><\/p>\n<p>Culture and ancestry are central to Jack\u2019s work. Guided by the mantra, \u201cWhy do double the work when your k\u016bpuna have done the work before you,\u201d he drew on his father\u2019s craft when creating the 2025\/26 Eddie artwork. This influence comes through in the bold gold frame surrounding the piece, as well as in his use of colours that reflect the mana, or life force, of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s waves. He further wove in gold, leis, and traditional patterns to honour Eddie and the generations who came before.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a timeless piece that honours Eddie\u2019s legacy and Jack\u2019s own family history and personal connection to the hallowed event. Blending heritage with deep reverence, he has created a work destined to endure for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy Episode 3 of Stories From The Eddie, featuring the talented Jack Soren.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6545\/3497\/files\/sunset-eddie_tee.jpg?v=1771910935\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Jack Soren, the artist behind the 2025\/26 Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational artwork.
