This guy had to be a pro, or at least semi-pro. He blasted through some sharp snaps at middle-peak, which requires good timing and precise motor control.

For someone I don't recall seeing here before, he really did have a good read on the pace of the rights at middle-peak.

You won't see many people launching airs at middle-peak Pangas.

He kept his board under his feet. The easterly breeze worked to his advantage.

The lefts were slower and fatter, but still decent.

I was fairly impressed with the quality of surfing going down given the lackluster conditions.

This visiting surfer took a creative and "smart" line by fading the takeoff right so he could execute a drawn out bottom turn.

Stay low and on rail. Those are two keys to success at middle-peak Pangas.

I was perplexed by how some of the outside rights were clean, but the inside lefts were bumpy. Pangas is not my area of expertise haha.

The pro really knew how to leverage the wind to his advantage. Maybe some day I'll put in the work to surf like this (not! haha).

PLAYA COLORADO
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell faded out very quick. It was pretty shocking to see the contrast between yesterday and today’s waves.
