This right was one of the only hollow waves I saw all evening. It was the diamond in the rough. It caught the handful of surfers out by surprise.

I think this is Skeeter. I could be wrong, but it's hard to mistake his appearance and powerful surfing.

He brought a new level to "putting it all on rail". He displaced a lot of water!

Will with a casual wrap. When the wave slows down there's no need to rush your maneuvers.

This little insider right drained pretty hard. A grom could've got the barrel of their life in this thing.

Alvaro with another zingy carve. He seemed to be enjoying the left dominance of the swell direction and sandbars today.

Some of the sets bent away and had long shoulders. Speed was still necessary on the sets and down-the -line waves today.

PLAYA COLORADO
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from Colorados. There was still some size today, but the waves weren’t all that hollow this evening. It was better for surfing top to bottom (maneuvers).
