This guy with the purple and pink board was undoubtedly the MVP of today's photo window.

I was very impressed with how much drive and speed he generated in the gutless surf.

This guy in the black got a couple of nice combo rides out there.

Pushing the tail through in a fat section. That takes some serious control!

He was light on his feet, just like the purple board guy. They made it look easy out there.

Not many people were sitting at the north peak, so there were some decent empty waves that rolled through there.

This wave was a total mush-burger, but the MVP somehow managed to spin through a quick reverse.

A stylish off-the-lip to finish this right.

This guy was fired up. I couldn't believe how many waves he caught. He had to have caught a wave in each set that came in. It was slow out there.

It was a good attempt, but you can see his back foot just came loose.

One last backside air reverse from the MVP. It was one-sided domination out there. Matthew's Law, eh?

It was a subpar day of surf, but some rippers made light work of the conditions. I am too lazy and impatient to grovel, so will bide my time until next week when something with more push shows up. Tomorrow through Sunday should be small like today. Catching the right windows will be key to not getting skunked.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were pretty small today, and there was some backwash as you can see here. But there were a few rippers who dominated for the report.

Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday’s report is coming from Colorados. Today is supposed to have been the bottom of the swell, so it was fairly mellow.
