Asher floating a lumpy end-section. He had a good flex in his knees and was ready to navigate the turbulent descent.

The pace of the waves was erratic this evening. Some ran fast, like this one, and others were fat, like Finn's wave above.

A visitor getting low on the way into a backside roundhouse. He was quick to adapt to Pangas.

Finley got the most waves and did the best turns. He won the heat.

Look at all of that spray. His set-up and technique had to be perfect to unleash that much power on the fat sections today.

Another visitor whipping through a quick turn. I wonder why he chose to wear booties?

Even the days with a little more juice are still fine for intermediates and folks that just want to cruise. It's the mellow and fairly forgiving season of waves here.

Finley closing the report with a good barrel attempt! He did well to spot this opportunity and wave. It's probably been about a month or so since the last time I got a decent tube. Tomorrow might be a touch bigger, but should be similar to today. Hasta manana.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller today, but bigger than I was expecting. Still a few make-able tubitos in the morning.

PANGA DROPS
Hola amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The tide was a bit lower by the time I got around to shooting today, so there was more action at mid-peak than the side-peaks. The wind was stronger today, but it was a little bigger today too.
