A little update from the site on the big cats;

JD Byrider had some fuel problems yesterday and could not get testing done. They are expected to be ready today for race time.

Qatar is there with the old JD Byrider boat and ran well in testing yesterday.

Geico is there and looked good testing.

WHM is also there and running well.

Stihl is also there.

Surf Forecast

Small windswell around knee high. Semi-clean early with sea breeze to chop things up later today.

Weather: S/SSE 3-5kts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regional Summary: Small E/ESE trade windswell and ENE swell mix this morning. Most spots are in the knee-thigh high range and best for the small wave equipment on the dropping tide this morning. Similar sized expected through the day with top spots maybe going up to thigh high on best tides. Winds are light to fresh out of the south. Look for sea breeze come up and add some bump/chop to the surf through the day.

They are doing audio tests now
