This guy slammed on the breaks on this right set to get behind the curtain. He had to use his butt and limbs as a parachute to slow down XD

It was pretty fast this morning, but if you got going quick enough there were some high quality barrels to be had. This wave barreled for at least 5 to 6 seconds before shutting down.

You can’t see the left from this frame, but this was a perfect A-frame barrel. The backside guy was deep, but he was starting to lift and pump across. Mr. Boogey at the corner check the rear view mirror please!

Alright, time for today’s barrel of the day mini-sequence. This guy took this barrel to value town, nothing left on the table.

This is the vision and sensation we as surfers live for. Nothing like staring through the bright blue/green tunnel while traveling through it with speed.

Remember when I said value town? Yeah this guy got as deep as possible. All the way behind the curtain probably gliding over the foam ball here.

After the super mario pipe shrunk on him, he managed to bust through the lip and make the exit. Way to go dude! I’m glad you were in the spot for this one as I don’t know if many of the other surfers could’ve made it.

Big lift up and across Mr. Boogey! Time to step on the gas pedal haha! I bet there were many happy campers after this morning’s serving of Tubos para Desayuno!

Even Pangas had some nice ones rolling through. Probably not tube action, but some rippable walls for sure.

That cut’s it for today’s surf action! The weather was cool this morning with a slight puff in the offshore wind relative to days past, so it was a great time to go for a stroll across the beach. I’ll be on the report again tomorrow and it looks like the surf should drop slightly, but given the current hot streak I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still some barrels on the menu for breakfast tomorrow!
