Lesther hard-carried the report. He was the only surfer catching waves when I showed up to shoot.

I could tell that he was primarily focused on his technique and precision out there. Good body position and timing here.

He pushed his tail all the way through the turn and displaced a lot of water. Lesther wasn't playing around out there!

The rights had better walls and were longer, but there were a few left corners to tag as well. Lesther isn't scared to go left either.

It wasn't big today, but the swell direction and size were hitting the French Fry sandbar nicely.

It almost looked like Lesther was surfing a wavepool out there.

Lesther's time display was pretty accurate here. It was about 1:45pm when he did this turn.

Lesther is no stranger to French Fries. He was perfectly timing his maneuvers.

He didn't let the soft inside corners go to waste either.

Here he is pushing that tail through the turn. A tweaked out turn here. Style maxing!

It was effectively a solo session for Lesther today. He timed his surf window well.

It was actually a pretty fun little afternoon of waves at French Fries. Not epic, but playful and a lighter crowd today. Tomorrow should be similar. 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.

Sunday Funday! Welcome to this morning’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were really fun this morning. There was a surprise bump in the size and the wind was light. Probably the best waves we’ve had in a week or two, in my opinion. Zach with a big late drop and a cameo from..
