This chica made a critical drop. She might've fared better had she looked right instead of left.

I like the anticipation and foresight from this guy. He thinks he might smell a tubito here.

Oho! The double hand drag! The intention is certainly correct.

It did open up just enough, but it was a tight tubito. The surfer barely "lost his grip" and drifted down into the flats. Still a good look and intent from this surfer.

I think this is the same guy on a clean left corner. Most of the lefts had soft faces like this one.

It was a bit boring out there, so I like this guy's creative energy. Gotta send some sort of crazy move to keep yourself entertained out there.

Here the side-shore lumps and ribs in the wave can be seen more clearly. Good sections for chop-hops haha.

A lot of people sleep on the insiders at French Fries, but these ones can line-up nicely on the sandbar.

He raced around the whitewater slush from the prior wave, then found some open green wall to work with.

This guy chose to hit the gas pedal the whole way. He got some good speed going. Not a bad line to take on a fast insider at French Fries.

It was pretty grovelly today. Not as bad as forecasted, but not super enticing. Looks like the surf will be so-so for a while. I'm feeling down after getting a taste of that Colorados nectar last week. Hasta manana.
