Saturday 10 26 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday saw day two of the Aloha Classic Pros. It's likely that today they will run the other categories (rain permitting and with no streaming, but you can double check on the usual youtube channel) and finish the Pros on Monday.  Photo by Fish Bowl Diaries from this album.
