Hi everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was a bit funky this afternoon, but there were plenty of keen shredders trying their hand at the conditions.

There was a fair mix of rights and lefts this evening, but the rights were definitely longer. This surfer chucked some serious powder on this cutback though.

His turn on the second section of the left was even better. He leveraged his speed coming into the section by getting low, engaging his toe-side rail, and using his trailing hand as a pivot point in the wave face.

Uh oh! As my mom always said, “Look both ways before crossing the street.” Haha!

A young shredder from Rancho Santana connecting with a chippy section for a stylish floater.

Luis Fuentes tried the “best of both worlds” approach this evening. A foam board… and a shortboard! I’m not going to lie, he was going ham out there on those crumbly sections.

Robin from France is back in town for a few more days before returning to France to continue his studies. It doesn’t look like he’s lost his quick and snappy surf style since last time he was here.

Rob Cox preparing to race across this inside runner. I like his wide, strong stance here. He’s ready for to navigate the lip crashing near / on the rail of his board while cruising across.

An unknown surfer from Rancho (I think) displacing a seriously large volume of water with this strong carving turn. Pangas is a great wave to train and hone maneuvers like this.

I hope you guys blast off into Friday like Robin blasting this right corner. Tomorrow looks like it will be a bit smaller and windier than today, but I bet there will still be some fun waves throughout the day. Thanks for checking in and have a good one.
