Thursday 2 8 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.


Taking advantage of the still excellent conditions, yesterday I attempted a Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling run using for the first time an F-One Eagle 690. The result was the best run of my life (so far).

7am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
