This awesome run of great surfing conditions continued yesterday morning.
This is Imai on one of those full carbon deck KT boards. The production version are called Expanse and they look just as sick. I unpacked a few yesterday at Hi-Tech, together with a bunch of "traditional" Crusher, Plate Lunch, Mini longboards and prone foiling boards. Got plenty more to unpack today. Come check them out.
4 knots of Kona is the best possible wind for Hookipa, IMO. Here it was blowing more like 10-12.
Later on the windsurfers went out at Lanes and Jimmie Hepp posted this album. It opens with this ridiculous table top off the lip by the incredible Marcilio Brown, aka Browsinho.
Brother Zane completed the scene on its wingfoil gear.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Lanai
1.7ft @ 12s from 191° (SSW)
Very small reading at Lanai should equate to very small waves, possibly mostly flat, on the south shore. Check the Lahaina webcam
if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
6.6ft @ 10s from 357° (N)
Hanalei
Waimea
Hilo
3.4ft @ 9s from 38° (NE)
Closely generated NW swell seems to be holding (at least west of us) and coming from a more N direction. Very difficult to guess the size here in Maui, but probably smaller than yesterday. I should be able to report pretty early today.
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue:
angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim,
but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner
of the North Pacific):
South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):
Morning sky.
