Sunday 7 17 22 morning call

This is my effort to try to document the mega south swell. The video was going to be more like my usual style, but at the end of the day I lost my gopro with the footage of the two north shore wingfoil sessions I also had yesterday (downwinder in the morning and waves at sunset). It's still floating out there in the ocean (Session 5 with mouth mount and floaty).
