Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The windows were a bit random today, but there were definitely a few good windows sprinkled throughout the day.

There were surprisingly few surfers out this morning and closer toward mid-day. So that meant quite a few empty runners like this right.

It was fast today so the boogeys had a good time pulling in deep on the hollow ones.

There weren’t many good waves caught this morning, but this guy definitely won the heat this AM.

He caught a beautiful right set wave, but it wasn’t going to be an easy make. The barrel wasn’t as hollow as it could have been.

He still managed to get deep and all the way behind the curtain. You see him through the lip right? A bit of I-SPY for you guys 🙂

He’s about made it through section one. Can he continue to the end?

Section 2 came quick. The good news is that the lip is pitching a bit wider now giving him a bit more lateral room to operate with.

A chandelier section dropping on his head. Time to see if his toes have iron grip!

He’s just gotta push through this last bit. Falling here always sucks. When you do the hard work and get clipped at the very end.

And he’s out. That’s a 10 pointer by all means for the consistency and quality of waves we had this AM.

This guy ripping on an unusual surfboard shape. Fins out on the ironing board haha! The release you feel during these moves is great.

One last right drainer to close today’s report. I didn’t see it myself, but I heard that the size picked up some this evening at sunset. Hopefully a few more keepers tomorrow morning for us surfers!

Howdy folks and welcome to a new week from the other land down under. Well, under the weather or rather under the dark and ominous clouds that is, which would be a better way to put it. Let’s just say the weather this season has been more moody than a Cancer (zodiac sign) on a..

Happy Sunday everyone! WOW, today there was no way to describe it other than it was absolutely firing and Epic! It was a super long day of shooting (hence the really late post – my apologies – for the report) but I had to go through A LOT of really great photos to choose from..
