Hauoli Makahiki Hou!

What a way to start the new year! Beautiful sunny skies, 5.0 winds and head high waves at Lowers. The wind today was pretty onshore so you needed a little more sail or board than it looked, but 5.0/90L was about right for my first session - 5.2ish would have been a little better, but 5.0 was pretty good. Lowers was sweet - relatively uncrowded and sweet head-high waves all day. Later in the day the wind kicked in for a bit, enough to get out on a bit smaller board. No better way to spend New Year's Day!
