PANGA DROPS

Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. This Wednesday’s report is coming your way from Panga Drops. It was a little inconsistent, but there was a bit more size today on the sets. All of these peaks had their moments today too. Lucy setting up for a super clean right at French Fries.

French Fries was slow between the sets, but they were long and clean when they came in.

John paddled out with the fishing pole, but didn't have much luck. He caught more waves than he did fish!

He didn't sit still for long. I guess his objective was to cross the lineup. As he stroked into a left shortly afterward.

Excellent technique from John despite the backpack and fishing rod in the mouth. He's compressed, opening his vision and torso toward the whitewater, grazing the water with his lead hand, and nearly grabbing his outside rail with his left hand.

He played the rebound cautious. If he lost his bearings on the whitewater ball, then he might've lost his equipment.

There were good waves to be had out there. The aggregate consistency was high, but sometimes slow at any given particular peak. Still the biggest surf we've had in about a week. Tomorrow should be smaller, but I think there will still be shreddable waves. The wind has been behaving nicely for us. Hasta manana.
