The Cricks Noosa Festival of Surfing is back at First Point from March 8th to 15th. Every afternoon from around 4pm AEDT (3pm Qld) we'll be webcasting the action live here on Swellnet. With plenty of swell due over the festival it should be great viewing.

"It was absolutely the heaviest thing that's ever happened to me," said James Hollmer-Cross. "I thought I was actually gonna die."

Watch footage of the wave in question shot at Australia's version of Cortes Bank, Pedra Branca.

"I dropped everything, canceled everything else and booked a flight. A wave like this is worth infinitely more than anything else that was in my calendar."
