The Fantastic Noodles Intense Wave Invitational ‘09, the world’s first big wave invitational for Pro Junior Surfers, will happen in big surf on a remote outer reef in South Australia this Thursday. The swells are brewing right now and are expected to exceed 20 feet in the coming few days.
 Strong onshore winds will whip up hammering surf before abating slightly, cleaning up and then expected to deliver immense big waves for the Fantastic Noodles Intense Wave Invitational 09 and Thursday is now locked in as the day for this event.
Surfing South Australia’s event co ordinator Tim Doman is now at the location ensuring all logistics are in place for this spectacular event which includes a high quality live webcast.
Chartered planes, Jet Ski’s, Boats, Paramedics, Satellites and more will all be activated by Doman along with esteemed big wave surfer Paul Patterson flying in from Western Australia to oversee proceedings.
Wave forecaster for the Fantastic Noodles Intense Wave Invitational summed up the outlook saying “The best day of the forecast period is Thursday, when we’re expecting a final long period groundswell to arrive in the early hours of the morning, accompanied by moderate offshore winds and a morning low tide. Set waves are expected to be in the four to five metre range, of which the combination of the early low tide, the offshore breeze and a southerly swell direction should result in very challenging conditions for the competitors. I’m looking forward to an excellent day of viewing on the webcast”.
The live webcast is not to be missed and the official website is www.intensewave.com.au . This site is open now with options to register and receive notification via SMS and email of the events running schedule to ensure you don’t miss it!
