Friday 8 11 23 morning call

Liam Coralle yesterday at Kanaha. He was testing one of my tails and that's as high as that tail is ever going to be.

Easterly windswell still up to fairly high levels and coming from 75 degrees today. Home guess for Hookipa is waist high to chest high to start the day with, getting bigger as usual mid day when the trades blow stronger. Bigger on eastern exposures.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
