Thanks to blog reader Oshri for the donation.
As usual, I use the last week of the year to ask for donations to show the appreciation for the 2020 season of the MSR blog.
No photo of the day, Facebook proposed me a memory from 2013 which I captured:
Between paddle and footstrap, I'm applying a pressure on that rail, that I would not be able to apply on a regular surfboard.
That
is beautifully compensated by the fact that the rails of a regual
surfboard are way thinner and need way less pressure to be buried in the
water.
Doesn't matter what you got under your feet. As long as you can put it on the rail.
I didn't know yet, but that can be applied to foils too.
I'll take that back, I found this photo by Dan Taylor of yesterday's victory at sea conditions.
Good time to be injured: the wind forecast for the next 10 days is pretty intense.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Lanai
2.1ft @ 12s from 190° (S)
Slivers of southerly energy left at the buoy, check the Lahaina webcam
if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Waimea
Mokapu
9.1ft @ 9s from 42° (NE)
NW energy trickling down at Waimea, but the raging NE windswell will be the dominant energy in the water. Together with the strong wind, that'll make for very rough conditions. Hookipa will be head and a half and more, but very disorganized. Probably a mark between 1
and 2.
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked).
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.
