Sunday 2 4 24 morning call

Kaa yesterday. Derek Hamasaki in the air and I'm happy to see that Annette (on the right) adopted the side hook and one hand holding technique I showed her to reduce the twist of the body on the toe side reaches (also shown in this video). I was surprised to see that Derek uses it too. I hope more wingers will start using it, so that their visits to their hip doctors will diminish. Twisting your upper body for long time is not good.

7am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

No southerly energy at Barbers and not much on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Mostly N to NE energy of different periods at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double overhead and blown out by the strong easterlies on tap for the day.
