Today didn’t disappoint. This wave is pretty sick – 300 meter rides were not uncommon, 2 barrel sections, light crowds and overhead sets. This is Hot Carl, getting the lead out.

Hi, this is Roberto with the surf report, It’s head high on sets out here at Maderas and the wind is offshore. Check out the wave at Machete pt.

This is Andres from Argentina.
I don’t know this guy but he was always in the close out.
