Lefts dominated the lineup, but I did see a few decent rights and A-Frames (like this wave) roll through.

Lenin on a solid outside set. Plenty of space for him to work with on the face.

He fully ripped into his opening carve. It feels good to execute a powerful turn on a set wave at Pangas.

Alex caught the most waves of all the surfers during the photo window. He put his speed to work with a nice opening wrap here.

I like how Alex flared his back leg out through this second turn.

Here's Alex again with an Andy Irons-esque high-line after the drop.

Schwappah! Wiping that speed off by using his rail.

It's not a real middle-peak wave if it doesn't give you enough time to work in at least two turns.

There was a fair amount of downtime between the sets, but reflecting on the photos here, I guess there was still some size.

Alex timed this lip-blast perfectly. He connected with the lip right as it started to fall.

Lenin's finale wave. It was an insider, but it had enough slope to let him belt through one last solid turn.

Spot X giving us a tempting glimpse of its true colors. It hasn't worked at all this dry-season, but I suspect it will start sometime in February. Tomorrow should be bigger, but the wind is going to be ridiculous if the forecast is right. Hasta manana.
