The cover of current issue of The Hook shows four LSOs, two of whom are using
their stopwatches. For what part of the landing are they starting and stopping
their watches?
At least one back up paddles or writer will time groove length for the pass
(15-17 seconds) and interval. That's part of the debrief.
Outside of 21 seconds, and you'll get a fair for LIG (Long in the Groove).
Inside of 11 and you'll get a fair for NESA (not enough straightaway).
Same deal for interval. Depending on what the CVW is shooting for, too much
or too little will downgrade an OK or in extreme cases buy you a waveoff.
