PLAYA SANTANA
Happy Hump Day everyone! The waves have arrived at Santana beach. Today was really good!
There were some small waves but with long rides.
And also there were some big A-frames with fast rides.
This happened two frames before the photo above, a big late drop with no success.
Check out First peak, it wasn’t consistent at all but with patience you could find one like this.
Big drop followed by a big bottom turn.
And finish it with a nice short barrel, who wants to try?
And because it’s Easter Week, you can have a nice group of expectators cheering you up.
All the local kids were having a blast today, showing off their tricks and turns.
Look at this spray, this wave got shredded!
Another turn, another bucket!
Mario Martinez was eager to find a barrel… he found a few but he could not find the exit on any of them.
It was a different story with Elyin Guzman… he got barreled many times and made it out on most of them.
I missed the best 3 barrels of the day, back to back… I was on the phone dealing with clients and last minute reservations, when a great set came and wave after wave the perfect barrels opened and there was a surfer deep inside getting covered… and coming out perfectly clean. It was beautiful.
Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as today, or maybe better?
Supposedly it’s going to be a little bit bigger tomorrow, we’ll have to see Brian Scott’s report tomorrow. Saludos everyone!
