\nCOMPETITOR ALERT: Quiksilver Eddie Aikau
\n<\/font>A letter from Quiksilver…<\/font>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAloha Invitees & Alternates,
\nThis email is to notify you that the Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational In Memory of Eddie Aikau is on AMBER ALERT.
\nContest Director George Downing has given the event a 50\/50 chance of going this Sunday, January 13, 2008 (Hawaii time).
\nOver the past 48 hours Waimea Bay has experienced good waves in the 15 to 18-foot range.
\nThe second storm system, due to fill in overnight on Saturday, for Sunday, has potential to be larger.
\nThe timing of the arrival of the swell looks good.The duration of the swell looks good for a full day.Winds are forecast to be trades.The only question is what actual height materializes.
\nAs you know, the height requirement for this event is CONSISTENT 20-FOOT OR LARGER.
\nGeorge Downing will be consistently monitoring the storm from this hour forward. Our goal is to make a decision on the event as soon as possible.
\nUnderstanding that many of you have a great distance to travel, and must come to your own decision, we want to keep you informed as the situation unfolds.
\nWe CANNOT make a definitive call on Sunday at this time. The decision of whether to travel to Hawaii ultimately rests with each individual.What we are striving to do is provide you with clear communication and relay whatever information we have to you in the most timely way possible.Unfortunately, with the absence of Buoy 51001, a 10-hour lead time on the size\/arrival of swell is not possible.
\nNext update to competitors: 10am Hawaii time tomorrow – Saturday, January 12, 2008.
