Hello everyone, welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Santana beach. The waves were pumping in the morning so it was time to go for a ride.

Peaks were appearing up and down the beach, most of them gone unridden because it was still early and just a few surfers were out in the water.

Most of the lefts were long and hollow, which means vertical drops on most of them.

And if you made the drop, then this is the kind of stuff you could do on every wave.

You could also do this… find a high line and get covered for a while!

Look at this empty wave waiting for anyone to take it. Long hollow lefts and short rights.

Farther north the waves were a little bit softer, fatter, especially the rights.

This right doesn’t look that short though, what do you guys think?

Check this guy out, having some serious turns on this right, they were not that soft as they seemed.

How about a nice barrel on a right? This is a scene that we don’t see that often here at Santana.

Our friend Renato came to have some fun with the waves here at Santana, he is usually at Popoyo but it was probably not as good as Santana.

Left or right? It’s all about being on the right spot.

There a few guys that know very well this break and they seem to be always at the right spot at the right time.

But as we all know, it’s not just be at the right spot and at the right time… it’s mainly know how to read the waves and be able to move your body the right way to get right where you want to be.

And if someday, something too big comes our way… just follow this arrow really fast. Saludos!
