Wednesday 11 11 20 morning call

Easterly waves at Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

You guys probably seen this already, but this complete edit just came out. Kai Lenny shares the nightmare of a wipeout at massive Nazare. I also like the end part that shows how hard it is to make out through the waves with a big mechanical thing like a jet-ski.

4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
