Light winds and a sparkly afternoon for the few people out surfing today.
This fellow, enjoying the goods we had on tap…
Cross-stepping his way right into the weekend.
Today was a good day to be out riding any kind of surf craft.
John Springfield, who took the majority of the wins in multiple surf classes, showing us how he got to be so good in yesterdays annual Chompipe Surf Contest. Practice, practice, practice.
Cuidado!!! There were some sneaker sets out there today. haha!
I’d still say, the long boarders had the upper hand out there.
But then again, anytime the Groms Resano trifecta hits these waves… no size matters with how they handle their ripping.
Including the small department.
Here’s one angle of what could be called a really nice off the top.
and here’s the other angle, which looks just as nice… ok this angle looks pretty sick actually!!!
Ricky, showing us how Floridian surfers tackle the small stuff. Straight up killing it out there today!
The youngest of the Resano clan, setting one up on a well overhead mini nugget.
Pint sized and more style than most surfers try to achieve in a lifetime of surfing.
It’s in the genes, so don’t beat yourself up too bad.
Luis Carlos looking for a little shade in todays blistering sun.
Valentina, the oldest of the three has been doing turns like this since she was the same age as her youngest sisters. The only thing is, the older she gets, the more water she displaces; which is beautiful thing to watch and see.
Bouncing back and forth today between the backlit and front lit, we get a nice little double vision of a few nice waves taken from today.
Like this sick little air my buddy Ricky pulled off around 2:30pm.
I know what you’re thinking, that looks like this chica is ripping on and alaia, I did too, but turns out it’s a really cool wood firewire. Either way, she knew what she was doing out there despite what was under her feet.
Candie, the middle of the sister rippers, keeps the balance alive and well since she has one sister on the way up the totem pole to look up to her and the other who has to keep her game in check so she doesn’t get passed up. Pressure….. nahhhhhh! It’s all about fun and surfing, right?
Aqua green walls and a nice bottom turn adorned the pages of many surf mags for decades, that is, until the internet came along.
Candie setting up for something big, while Ricky is kicking out the back.
Booooom!!!
Their rail game is ON POINT> !! So is their big wave game as well. Somehow it will all manifest itself… soon….. very soon!!
Surfing and style is and has always been about experimentation and self expression. John S. leading the way… backwards.
RECENT REPORTS
Welcome to 2025 everyone! Happy New Year! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. I basically pulled an all-nighter and woke up early to surf after the late night fiesta. The lineup was empty even at 8:00am and the waves were fun. I surfed then took photos.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
