PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was even smaller today, but definitely ride-able on the sets. The crowd was fairly light, but it was slow between waves.

Uli got a few keepers this evening. Some of the waves were racing quick, so you had to be ready to step on the gas after the drop.

Mark pretty much had the lefts to himself again.

It was still shortboard-able today, but wider fish-shapes (like this guy's board) and longbaords were even better. You can see this guy had way more speed coming into this corner because the board planes faster while flat than most shortboards do.

I was missing Yuji, Koji, and Kai out there. But the inconsistency was too high for them to brave the cold. It was still chilly out there. Maybe 72 Fahrenheit.

The blue mid-length guy was cruising out there. This type of board was well suited to today's waves.

He nearly found some shade on the inside. His wave selection is pretty good to be consistently finding this tubitos.

Henry wanted to find some tunnel vision here! His takeoff was good. He had a big snowball to navigate, but he made it around the whitewater. It's not fun, but to be expected when it is small. We aren't in high-stakes surf season where infractions like this become more serious.

Uli learned quickly to engage his fins after the drop to generate down the line speed.

Becca with the last wave of the photo window. She was very patient at her own little peak further north of main French Fries. Looks like her patience paid off for her here.

Today *might* have been the bottom of the swell. It still wasn't totally flat. It would be nice if we could get some more consistency in the coming days. Hasta manana.

Welcome back! Well it’s been a minute since I’ve done a report (at leas for the new month of February!) Had a few days off and came back to town to find some VERY typically super strong OFFSHORE winds and some actually decent swell in the water! Good to be back and hope you enjoy..
