Friday 11 17 23 morning call

No photos or videos from yesterday, this is a short clip JDFollowCam took of me a while ago. I post it because it shows how I use the double hook on my harness while winging toe side. Description goes like this:
"I'm one of those who don't like switching feet, so I use a harness with two hooks and ride toe side hooked in the side hook and holding the wing with the front handle only, like in the first part of this video. A lot less stress on my body and I go upwind very efficiently like that. Hope someone tries it too!"

Ne windswell still in the water but today there's also a proper NE ground swell. It comes from the back of the fetch indicated in the maps below of November 13 and 14. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double and still a bit stormy.

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