Friday 3 29 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.


Kanaha yesterday. You can see it was another epic day for downinders.

This is the Kai Lenny's video that everyone worldwide recognizes to have been the origin of the SUP foiling downwinders discipline. This is the comment I left on it yesterday evening:
"7 years later, today I had the pleasure to be side by side with you during a downwinder. Having watched this video countless times, for me it felt like a dream. Thank you for showing the world one of the most fun things humans have done in their history on this planet."

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

No southerly energy at Barbers. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

There's still traces of leftover NW energy, while the easterly windswell is pumping. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high.
