The rights were definitely better at Spot X, but a few left tubes slid through.

Kai dominated and got some sick barrels. He has this break on lock-down.

Just sneaking in under the lip in time. Spot X is crazy because the barrel usually gets wider toward the exit.

The vision we've been chasing hard in 2026. Kai's got the lead now.

The lip started to pitch way out at the corner. Kai was deep here.

I thought the lip might've been tapping his body at this stage. You can see his black wetsuit top through the lip.

He's close to the exit. Can he seal the deal?

He's busting through, now he's gotta navigate the turbulence.

Yuji and I were a little late to the draw. Yuji got some keepers, but I got out of the water cold and empty handed haha.

The setup is looking good. Let's see if I can make another keeper.

He's right at the exit! His position looked a little high, but I've seen Kai make some crazy tubes before.

You learn quickly to not doubt Kai when it comes to making tubes from deep.

I like the lefts at Spot X as a goofy foot. I needed to teleport out there for this one haha.

Yuji locked and loaded at the start of this bottom turn. I'm jealous he found this left.

It was a special evening. I had a good time feeding off Kai and Yuji's stoke. I definitely have a long way to go before reaching their level at this break. I'm too big of a boy and can't paddle like Kai haha. Hopefully we get more good windows tomorrow!

PANGA DROPS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves turned on while I was shooting. There were quite a few empty barrels, but I think the window lasted no more than one hour. Grace setting up for a big drop in this opening frame.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. We had another day of marginal waves, but there were still a couple of decent waves right at sunset (again).
02/27/2023
Feliz Lunes mi gente! Another week, or I should say the last week of February and we’ll be marching (pun intended) right into March in just the blink of an eye! Just in time for hopefully some of the first swell of the season to start making our way back to, yes, “our” favorite barreling wave..
