The rights at Panga were nice and long, with plenty of wall for cutbacks.

I guess the light winds made it the perfect conditions for beach male modeling.

Everyone was excited with today’s conditions making Panga Drops looking kind of chaotic sometimes.

To avoid the small crowd, some surfers were on the inside, catching little ones without any complications.

Those inside waves had some push and they were great for many maneuvers.

The big waves outside offer less oportunities to do more maneuver variations, but there is always a risky surfer that goes all in.
