John cruising on a clean left runner. The waves weren't big today, but they were punchy and peaky.

80% of the crowd had exited when I showed up. So there were plenty of riderless nuggs.

A high spray-ring from John here. It was a sharp blast in the pocket.

Further down the line he put his speed to work with a strong roundhouse. That's a solid combo for the size of the wave.

Clean little runners. It was better before I showed up with the camera. I was out in a different part of the lineup and could see that the sets were bigger earlier in the morning.

Even the crew on mid-lengths were killing it. Harder for them to surf tight in the pocket, but their wave counts were high.

A sick day of waves. I missed the best part of the action, but still got a few fun ones myself after shooting. It could be good like this for the next two days, but on Friday the wind might get absurd. Hasta manana.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.

Hey amigos! Josh here behind the lens for the foreseeable future. Today’s report is coming from Panga Drops. The waves were pretty small again today, but just big enough for a few people to rip.
