PLAYA SANTANA
Hello everyone, this is Baldo bringing you another great surf report from Santana beach. The waves are small, the offshore decent, and the water a little bit chill.
Etienne was having a blast today, he caught a bunch of waves like this one, fast-hollow little peaks great to calm the itchiness of not surfing that often, specially knowing that itās going to be even smaller for a whole week starting tomorrow.
Some other locals decided to check the waves for a while before making it into the chill water. After a few minutes this kid shook the sand off his butt, turned around and leftā¦ I guess he wasnāt impressed.
For a moment the waves looked real good, wave after wave broke with a really good shape all the way to the (very close) sand.
āTo Infinity and Beyond!!ā This guy hit the Eject Button right on time!
Check out Mario again, passing the vertical line on his back sideā¦ sadly I had the sun right in front of me and couldnāt adjust the camera on time to have a better picture.
After a couple of bad photos (too much light) I went looking for a better angle and from here the waves looked way better.
And by āpure coincidenceā I found my old friend Andrew having a cold ToƱa by himself and, as the good guy I am, I couldnĀ“t let him drink all alone, people will think he is an alcoholic or even worseā¦ a weirdo, so I joined him for one or two (or was it three?) beers while catching up on what he is doing now.
This photo of Etienne was taken directly from the tableā¦ with a few more beers I would probably call it a perfect barrel on that one. Almost though!
The beer was getting hot and the conversation was getting interesting so, I decided it was time to put down the camera and focus on whatās important in lifeā¦ family and friends (and surf of course!).The next few days is going to be small(er) so, please, be patient, resist, hold strong there, I promise the waves will come back sooner than you know it (hopefully!). Cheers!!
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops, once again we’re talking French Fries. The waves were smaller today, but the shape was arguably slightly better than yesterday. The wind was also a touch lighter.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for next set of days. Monday’s surf report is coming your way from Panga Drops, specifically “French Fries”. The swell was close to non-existent, but Pangas did its magic and magnified the lackluster size into something playful and shreddable.
