I got down the beach SUPER early to shoot the report, being that I had to go shoot a wedding today…. ahemmm ya, I mean, I actually shoot other things than just surfing believe it or not. But to my surprise there were only 2 dudes out.

The other favorite light I love… morning light, only I’m braking the rules. However… rules are meant to be broken, but only if you know how to break them properly.

This is what happens when you leave your pop-tart in the toaster oven a little too long. Metaphorically specking of course.

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
