Happy New Year to everybody. This is my third fall/winter season in Hainan, and it's probably been the best so far. November and December were both really consistent, offering a ton of head-high and over days.

The contest dates of the 10th and 11th are just now coming into the long-term forecast range. Looking good so far, in the twelve-foot range. Fingers crossed for a god contest swell.
