Here is Mateo (4 ½ years old) with a big shaka, ready to represent the family on today’s surf report.
Then how to stand up… back foot first, then push up, then front foot.
With the help of Emeline, who was in charge of pushing the kids into the waves, and Etienne who was playing as the goalie, stopping the kids and making sure they didn’t crash into the rocks on the shore, the kids had a great time.
And while Mateo paddle out by himself back to the lineup, Emma (3 ½ years old) was on the move.
She still takes her time to stand up on every wave but she is always the last one to get out of the water. She loves surfing!
This spot is not just for kids… with the right equipment you can have a lot of fun here. This girl had a great style with her longboard.
This one has your name written on it Mateo, all yours! Paddle, paddle, paddle!
Look at the intensity, the concentration, the effort he is putting to catch this wave (and with a little push of Emeline of course).
Now it’s time look forward and bring the other foot to the front.
While Mateo, Emma and Elisa were shredding the waves, on the far north of the break the girl was doing her thing too. She was catching tons of waves.
And she didn’t mind sharing them with others.
Right around midday I went to Santana to check it out. This is what I found…
This is the biggest sets that came through, a big close out on most of them.
Party wave!
This guy was able to find and get in into a nice little barrel.
Before I go, I would like to ask all of you to try not to take my reports too serious, especially when there are no waves… it can turned into a hard task to write a report when there is nothing to report. The photographers at NSR are always trying to keep you entertain with our photos and especially with our writing. We don’t want to harm or make fun of anybody, but if you feel like we’ve done that, then we apologize for that. Have a great Sunday!

Hola, buenos días! This is Eric coming at you with a morning surf update. The swell has dropped in size since yesterday but the magic continues out there! Small but perfect waves slowly coming in all morning as the tide drops out!
