Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from French Fries. The wind was strong, but the direction of the wind was fine. I’d argue there was a touch more power and consistency today, so better waves.

Although French Fries was the main attraction there were some other peaks that had waves.

This goofy-footer was the MVP of the report. He ripped the hardest during the photo window.

Further down the line he tagged the closeout section. Plenty of wind and foam to deal with there.

It pulsed pretty hard while I was taking pictures. It was pretty much wave after wave.

This older lady also got a few great rides. Probably the better waves I've seen her get over the past week.

She nearly tucked into the tube here as the wave hit the inside section.

The MVP got a big middle-peak left. He leveraged his speed and the open face to rope through a strong carve.

One wasn't enough so he slashes through another carve on the inside corner.

This lady must've been stoked with her session today. She caught so many waves with a light crowd.

I was surprised she was paddling back out quick enough to get all of these waves.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell height and interval were both notably higher today. So much so that most of the action was at the middle-peak, with less happening at the sandbars. Asher with a stylish entry on an outside right bomb.
