Vinny was another one of today's MVP surfers. He caught quite a few waves and had excellent style out there.

Vinny teeing up on another right corner. You can see how clean and smooth the faces were today.

John launched a sick chop-hop off of a backwash wave. He timed this move perfectly and rode through it clean. Who thought doing a chop-hop would look sick!

The beauty of French Fries, is that it magnifies thigh-high swell lines into shoulder high sets.

Vinny on a rare left. They tend to corner off hard or toss a closeout section like this one. Vinny isn't scared to tag an end-section though!

Another day in paradise! We can't complain as long as the wind isn't too hectic. Tomorrow should be bigger, but still reasonable for beginners. Let's see what I can capture tomorrow!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was notably smaller today relative to yesterday. The sets still sucked up and offered tubito opportunities though! This guy maxed out his style points here.

Hola amigos! Welcome to Wednesday afternoon’s surf report from Panga Drops. The conditions were a bit lumpy and bumpy this afternoon, but there were still some fun corners to be had.

Day three and I’m still trying to milk everything I can from the beachie, as you can see there are still some pretty fun waves, even though the swell is dropping each day. Other than the waves getting smaller, the weather was all sunshine with beautifully nice clean groomed light offshore winds to keep that..
