PANGA DROPS

Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for next set of days. Monday’s surf report is coming your way from Panga Drops, specifically “French Fries”. The swell was close to non-existent, but Pangas did its magic and magnified the lackluster size into something playful and shreddable.

Rights definitely dominated the sandbar at French Fries, but there were a few lefts that connected from the middle peak to the sandbar.

Darwin was part of the early morning crew who scored decent size, shape, and light wind.

Kevin was the MVP of this morning's report. He even managed to pull off a head-dip at the end-section of French Fries' right.

Today's surfers made the conditions look easy. But in truth it was challenging to maintain speed on a shortboard through one's maneuvers.

Isabel's ability to read this peak has improved notably since I last saw her here. Checkout this backdoor entry-line!

Party wave! I zoomed in and could see both Kevin and the other local fella smiling, so it looks like there were no hard feelings.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but the rights at French Fries can be surprisingly fast. Timing your bottom and top turns correctly is the key to success here.

Kevin gets to close out today's report with a 4 turn banger. Definitely a high excellent range score for today's conditions. Look at his laser focus on the lip that he is about to bash.

A good bottom turn is a prerequisite to an excellent top-turn.

Turn number two was mostly set-up and a pacing tool for the next steeper section.

Wham! Kevin didn't spare any strength or effort in torquing through this slash.

The inside section ran light on gas, but he still managed to manufacture one last closing turn. That's at least a 9 pointer for today bro haha!

Another day in paradise! Hacienda Iguana flexing its muscles as a residential and vacation destination that has playful waves year round. It was literally 1ft @ 11 seconds and there were still some chest-high walls to attack. Tomorrow will likely be a touch smaller and windier, but I think there will still be some shredding going on.

Welcome to the windy day Thursday surf report damas y caballeros! Check out them whitecaps out the back. There were some fun waves coming in, but those white caps also mean one other thing… get ready for some chillier water temps. But don’t worry, I’d be willing to bet majority of the people (ie. you)..
