Waaaaalloping Wednesday! Wowzers. . . if you think yesterdays waves were impressive, then you’ve gotta checkout todays surf report!!! Thanks to our wonderful (NOT) super reliable Wifi has been off and on all day, which is why I am just now getting the pics up. Super frustrating to say the least!!! (if you’ve been down here enough times you know what I’m referring to), but I ended up getting out there somewhat early again today and the waves were crackin’. . . just absolutely on FIRE! I’d say even better than yesterday. Come on in and check out what I’m talking about!

You all know this perch or viewpoint pretty well by now I think. So with that said, you know how big it was this AM, if you’ve seen all the other reports showing the lineup from this spot before.

Dropping in from the sky. The straight on shot never gives you the proper size, feeling or actual justifiable steepness to a take off like this, but you know this guy’s looking down a solid wave face and there’s no turning back now!

See, here’s a more 3 dimensional angle, slightly more looking into the barrel and showing the realistic size.

And if you know what this is, then you know it was solid out there today and some bomb sets were pushing through and detonating on this world class beach break!

Ok, after seeing this again, I will have to say, the lefts were pretty on par with the rights. I think the rights were maybe a little more square and heavy, but heck, would you be complaining if you were surfing this today?????

Well, since it’s technically my Friday. . I’m gonna go out with a little message for all you amazing people and friends out there who always so kindly come up to me and thank me personally for the reports that I do when you’re down here (for those of you I’ve known for years and also for those of you who come up and ask, “are you Brian Scott, as in the one who does some of the reports for NSR”? I just want to say, Muchísimas gracias for always coming up to me and saying such nice and wonderful things! It truly means a lot more than you’ll ever really know and secondly, looking at my two double image parting shot here of two of my close friends here in Hacienda Iguana, life is truly a blessing! Enjoy every single day. Hug a friend, hug a family member hug anyone who you’re thankful for, for them being in your life. As life is short and we all should spend more time appreciating everything positive that we all have! With that, I bid you adieu!
