Lesther was the first serious surfer to hit the lineup when I showed up. He didn't waste time before he began cracking lips.

You can tell that Lesther was actively targeting the crumbling today. It's smart to adapt your surfing to the conditions. Floaters were in the cards.

The next batch of surfers were Bruna and her friend. Her friend didn't look entirely sold on the conditions. I don't blame her haha!

It was pretty lumpy at this point in the morning, so Bruna had to be careful not to catch a rail during her carves.

The bigger and cleaner set waves had less chop on the faces. If the face is smooth it's not a big risk to torque through the turn at full force.

A rare right. Most of the better waves were running left today.

I was surprised at how long she lasted out there this morning. Maybe these waves weren't so different from what she would typically surf back home. I am spoiled after being here for so long haha.

The final batch of surfers were some groms. They kind of lucked out because the wind lightened up as some clouds passed overhead.

This chica carried the torch from Bruna and blasted a few lefts to pieces.

Putting her rail to work on the open face. These turns were from the same wave. Good choice of maneuver for each of those sections.

Hello Monday, the winds weren’t offshore as predicted, but we did get some light swirling  side shores which helped keep some shape. @tonyzphotos reporting.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were a little smaller today than yesterday, but the water was a little cleaner and the waves were rippable. There were even a couple of barrels if you were at the right place at the right time.

Hey everyone! Josh here behind the lens for the next few days with the start of October’s surf action. I have been watching the extended forecast range like a hawk as I had high hopes for a good to epic finish to the season, like last October, but it looks like the more common outcome..
