PANGA DROPS

Howdy folks! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was supposed to be ripping hard today, but it was actually very light this morning. The only downside was that the tide was low at that time.

This unknown rider found a little bit of shade (not that it was that sunny this morning). Pangas isn't known for barrels, but when the wind is just right a few can slide through.

John was out working on his rail game at middle-peak. Middle-peak definitely tests your ability to retain speed through your turns.

I saw plenty of split peaks this morning. It's nice when Pangas is breaking both ways as it reduces crowding at one peak going one direction.

Costa Mar peak wasn't really working as the sand is a bit funky and the tide was too drained. But this was definitely a make-able barrel that ran a solid 4 seconds before clamping.

Staying low and not rushing your turns are two keys to successfully retaining your speed at Pangas.

The inside sections will stand up more, so that's where it makes more sense to perform a quicker and sharper rotation.

This guy kind of flashed us the "rock on" sign here. Life is good on a longboard at mid-peak haha!

Rob rotating through a smooth round-house. Pangas is a wave that will let you refine your cutbacks.

Pangas is such a good wave for longboarding. It's epic to have a wide open wall and canvas to work with on a big board.

The cloud cover and light wind made for nice walking weather on the beach. There were a few keepers out there this morning. Tomorrow looks like it should be slightly larger, but also probably windier. I'll see y'all tomorrow.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Pangas, specifically French Fries right. The wind was ripping pretty hard around mid-day, but it mellowed out slightly in the evening and the direction improved some. It was golden hour!

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).

Welcome to another week and surf report from your favorite surf zone in Latin America! The waves were gorgeous with those deep blue hues, thanks to those stiff offshore winds and the swell was in the super fun chest to head high range. Come on in and check it out!
