This was further down the line after the lady was sent to the sandbar. Her board wanted to stay high as seen here though haha! Pangas isn't known for barrels, but there can be rare gems out there.

The crowd was fairly light while I was shooting. This unknown rider took his time and just cruised across this middle-peak left for a solid 15 seconds.

John was the stuntman today and he managed to pull off a few decent turns out there. His bottom turn was rock solid here. Low, toe-side rail engaged, extending with a bit more pressure over his back-foot. Things aren't looking good for the lip up there.

He had to manufacture this move, but managed to complete a nice little tail-slide. You do what you gotta do when it's small Pangas haha!

There was a fair mix of rights and lefts at mid-tide today. I'd say the lefts were actually slightly better if you got the right ones.

John leveraging his big frame to move a lot of water on a waist-high wave for him.

I liked this late, critical floater he pulled on a closeout left. He stuck the landing smooth. I wish the main circuit guys would get rewarded more for taking more risk, instead of just making conservative power hacks on every wave. ASP > WSL

Bruno was the "Dark Magician" out there haha. He managed to conjure up a perfect little left barrel.

It wasn't just a one section tube either. He tucked through section one, then stalled a bit here for the second moment behind the curtain.

I bet he was stoked to find this one out there. It was probably one of the only barrels that was actually makeable out there this morning while I was shooting.

Ayyyy! A big smile after making the exit. I wonder what sort of trick he did to manifest that little barrel.

John hit the weights pretty hard today, so he was in hulk mode out there. Looked like he was starting to get angry at Mr. McGee!

The peli with the final ride. These guys have been loving the fish buffet at Pangas recently. It was another standard dry-season day at Pangas. I expect very similar conditions tomorrow, with perhaps a little more wind. Hasta manana.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
