Whaaaaat’s happening AMIGOS!!! I’ll tell you what’s happening around here… WAVES and lots of them. If you were lucky enough to catch Baldo’s crazy 50+ mega photo story yesterday, you’re in for another treat today, because the swell is still hanging around. Jump on in and check it out!

The swell dipped a little today, but don’t get me wrong when I say it was still really freaking good out there.

Still some bomb sets coming through every now and then… and the conditions were EPIC!

You can’t be the maestro of the stoke report, unless you are the stoke master!! ** cue in that infamous TR whistle right about here! ( haha I know you just whistled it too…. didn’t you!)

Gray has been absolutely on FIRE with this swell. Especially since the lefts were firing as well.

Yesterday he killed it at Outer Reef in the early AM, and then he came back over to PC for some sand bottoms behemoth monster sand dredging barrels. I have a 56 image sequence of one of his many super deep tech barrels from this afternoon. This image isn’t from that sequence, but can you imagine it’s better than this photo. Who knows maybe I’ll make a quicktime of it since it’s so long it plays like a mini movie clip. Maybe I’ll caption it… graylivesmatter?@

An unknown surfer making his claim for the rights. Looks like they’re on fire too!

Kevin, aka “Gallo Pinto” isn’t a stranger to these waves or the swell consistency, being that he’s from the neighboring country of Costa Rica.

Kevin, much like me, spends a good amount of his time behind the lens shooting some of Costa Rica’s biggest surfing heavy hitters. Its no wonder why he surfs just as well.

In between all of the big wave bravado the last few days, there were still quite the explicit turns going down.

When I say explicit, I wasn’t just talking about men doing giant man carves either.

Like my amiga Aurita La Monita, putting most dudes' turns to shame… but don’t be fearful…. she’s the sweetest thing ever!

Dillon (whom I met today) has been surfing his brains out for this amazing last swell. Unfortunately, today is his and his amigos last full day here, but that does’t go without saying that he got exactly what he came here for

Remember what I said about all those people making some good statements with their turns.

Heck, even our very own Baldo was out there today, taking a much needed surf break for these fun waves after killing it on report duty for the XXL day.

Javier, always stoked as can be, inside and out of the water.

Phillip going for broke with a MASSIVE backside floater. That, or he’s trying really hard to get a human POV of what his actual drone sees.

Ahhhhh the making of yet another Nica Toyota Car Commercial. I’ll give you the ending… they made it out unscathed, LUCKILY! But it was pretty hairy for an hour or two, especially when that high tide started splashing up against the side of the truck.

When it hits happy hour time…. nobody surfs!!!

Well, unless you’re under age then all the groms are still out surfing.

You might be thinking to yourself… damn, that’s a pretty good sized wave for the little chica. Well, guess again… she was out surfing yesterday at the outer reef where it makes this wave look like the KS surf ranch.

And Scott makes this wave look tiny being all hunkered down in that little salt mine. Scotts almost 7 feet tall though, so this thing is actually pretty good size.

Here’s a better sized wave for scale and a good recap of the real scenario of how fun it really was today. Happy hour time or not. :)

Hot Carl, how would you rate this place as far as surf destinations go. Yaaaaahhhh, I thought you’d say that!
