PANGA DROPS

Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was a touch smaller today, but not as small as I was expecting. Still some shoulder-high sets.

Layna was one of the MVP's this morning (again). Cross-stepping while a perfect right reels off behind. This place might qualify as paradise!

The crowd was light, so there were plenty of waves in each set that came through at Pangas this morning.

I don't know who this local guy was, but he was jamming on the longboard.

Look at that stylish bottom turn! I don't think this guy was a stranger to riding big gear.

His solid bottom turn set him up for a strong top turn. A sharp top turn on a longboard at Pangas is a sign of good fundamental board control.

If I had to bet, I would guess that Layna likes surfing Pangas more than Colorados. She looked very comfortable out there.

Pangas is a wave where longboarding fits aesthetically. Longboards are well suited to fit into the soft, but open faces.

Here's Layna on another right. You can tell she is no stranger to Pangas, as she confidently faded the paddle line and drop on this right.

It looked like an easy wave at first, but suddenly got steep at the corner.

It was a tight tube section, but wasn't totally unfeasible. Layna found herself under the guillotine here though!

Here's our other mystery rider again. He took a note of Layna's book and tossed his hands up.

Another strong slash! It's good to learn how to turn a longboard correctly before shifting to a shortboard. Way easier to turn a shortboard after mastering a longboard.

Another cutback on the inside section. If you get the right wave at Pangas you can squeeze in about three to five cutbacks or maneuvers.

One quick cameo from another unknown rider. The takeaway from this report is that when the surf is fairly mellow at Pangas, then longboards rule!

Another day in paradise! Light offshore flow and playful waves all day. You just needed to shift between the different peaks based on the tides. Tomorrow should be pretty small, but let's see what Tony Z captures.
