Monday did not disappoint! Welcome to today’s surf action from Panga Drops. I took photos in the morning and in the evening. This chica has been crushing it at sunset the past few days. She doesn’t miss many waves haha!

I'll fire through the morning's action quickly. I didn't get down to shoot until the tide had drained some and the wind had started to puff. This lady had a peak all to herself and took full advantage of mellow Pangas to up her surf game.

Wham! Look at that power. He definitely has that board wired.

Here's the chica from the opening shot smiling away. What's not to like about an uncrowded sunset glass-off?

Cindy with back to back surf report appearances. Her paddle lines and opening turns look solid.

Emilien blew up tonight haha! This guy was making my mind melt watching some of the lines he was taking. He's the best I've seen up at the nose, no doubt about it.

Oh! Close quarters combat! It looks like Emilien may also be smooth with the ladies? This was further down the line from the shot above. Cindy and Emilien got a party wave. Lucky for Cindy, Emilien has freaskish control and was able to maintain a hair's distance even from up close. She didn't really burn him though as she was looking at the left (the right was better though). I'm sure Emilien wasn't miffed about it, he's a very calm guy.

The girls were on a tear this evening. They didn't let Emilien take the entire spot light for himself.

Walking around. I need to get out there on a Wavestorm and start training so I can hang with these guys.

Emilien showcasing some serious power. That's a really big board and to set it on rail and drive through with such torque is very impressive. This guy must have crazy strong core muscles.

The camera focus was a bit off here, but I have to include this sequence as I thought there was no way that Emilien would pull this move off.

The hang-five into a 360 spin. I've seen it attempted at times in the past, but never completed.

He's succeeded in fully lifting the tail out of the water. To stay balanced here is already impressive enough.

He's keeping his composure. But he's still got about half of the rotation left.

Good quick thinking on Emilien's part. He knows that as the board is about finish spinning through he needs to walk back to re-engage the fin.

Another chica ripping out there. This time on a performance shortboard. She did well to capitalize on this section.

Ryder! Good job getting out there for some waves with Colin! It's cool to see her form from the front of the waves instead of the back haha.

Mid-step. I'm throwing out maximum points for style here. He's even got his blue suit. He's like a superhero haha.

Power and flow. Emilien cleans house. I am curious to see how he approaches Colorados when the sleeping dragon wakes from its slumber.

Nothing like a family surf sesh! It didn't feel like a Monday today here in paradise. Tomorrow the wind should be moderate which would be nice! See y'all tomorrow.

Sunday Funday! Welcome to this morning’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were really fun this morning. There was a surprise bump in the size and the wind was light. Probably the best waves we’ve had in a week or two, in my opinion. Zach with a big late drop and a cameo from..
