Golden Breed Noserider Inv. ready to launch at Noosa
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 5 March, 2009 : - - One of the best fields of internationally renowned noseriders ever assembled will take to the tip in this year’s $3000 Golden Breed Noserider at the Global Surf Industries Noosa Festival of Surfing, presented by Golden Breed.
Festival Director Phil Jarratt said the final field of 14 invitees and 12 triallists vying for the last two slots in the main event represented the crème de la crème of the longboard specialty.
“It’s never easy to decide who gets invited to a thing like this, but I think we’ve chosen a very strong representation of people with track records in noseriding events and hot kids who just light up the points with their ability. I think we’re going to see the bar raised big time in this event, juding by some of the stuff we’ve seen in the training sessions at First Point over recent weeks.”
Headed by last year’s Noosa noseriding winner Christian Wach of California, the invitee list includes fellow finalists and Noosa locals Zye Norris and Matt Cuddihy, current world number twos Antoine Delpero of France and Chelsea Williams of Australia, former world champions Josh Constable and Jen Smith, and former world junior shortboard champion Julian Wilson, fresh from his great form at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast.
Twelve invited triallists will battle it out in two heats on Sunday, March 15, for the final two positions in the main event, which will begin on Monday, March 16, alongside the Golden Breed Mens LQS Pro and the Banana Boat Women’s LQS Pro.
