Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind dropped out so the conditions were very clean. It was very small though!

The behind the peak fade was a wise decision from this surfer. Taking off behind the peak sets you up for a steeper part of the wave face during your opening turn at Pangas.

The waves were gentle, so there wasn't much ripping and lacerating going on out there.

Cruising and smooth controlled turns, like this little cutback, were necessary to keep your speed out there.

I missed the first part of this guy's smooth roundhouse cutback, but caught the end of his rebound off the whitewater. The roundhouse is a functional move that helps you stay in the pocket.

John was out fishing, but picked off a couple of set waves between casts.

Jeff flowing through a smooth rounded out carve. He is no stranger to Pangas, so he rarely gets too far out of the pocket. He knows the limits of the "speed zone" he can stay within while doing his turns.

Sophie was aiming for the inside rights. They were smaller, but some of them were long enough to squeeze in two or three little turns.

A little pitch from the lip here! That's what we like to see. It means more power. Maybe even a chance at a tubito.

This chica chose the right weapon for today, a foamie! Easy entries and plenty of speed.

I got caught with my ISO setting too low here. It wasn't liking her speed with the low lighting. Sorry for the blur.

I was surprised to see John gamble on this left. It was a good wave, but he took off behind the peak with a fishing rod in his mouth.

My concern was warranted. He's got quite the section to navigate on a big board with a big fishing pole haha.

He was smart enough to stay low and set his toe-side rail to hard across the wave. You have to, at least partially, go with the whitewater tapping you from behind. If too much is tapping the rail then you'll flip.

He would say, "It's a skill issue." But I would say that luck also played a role in his successful escape across the face and out of the impact zone.

Nothing too special this evening, but at least the wind was very light! Tomorrow morning will likely be small, but it could be fun with the higher tide. Hasta manana.

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.

Happy Monday and almost mid December to all you dedicated NSR people out there! Brian back after an extended little time off to take care of some other stuff, and BIG Thanks to Daniel for always helping out with the coverage. I know the surf’s been small and less appealing to see, BUT where there’s..
