PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone, welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were actually pretty epic for off-season today. Most of the shredders had already exited for lunch break when I showed up with the camera though. You’ll still get a rough sense of the quality of surf though.

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! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
