PLAYA SANTANA
December is here and that means family and friends gatherings, lots of food and presents for everyone… and Santana was bringing some really nice presents today, check them out!
It was a barrel fest right at high tide… for around 40 minutes, 10 wave sets, set after set, barrel after barrel.
This guy with the rasta traction pad got ton of waves, and really good barrels.
There was a big difference in size between yesterday and today, and Etienne from Las Plumerias was enjoying it.
Now that Emeline, Lady Plumas, is living almost in front of Santana she is always at the best time of the waves.
This lonely surfer was at first peak, waiting and waiting for those sets that never came his way, but he knew exactly how to keep himself happy while waiting.
Here is a little sequence of the rasta pad guy inside a nice barrel (I missed the first part of the barrel).
But who cares about missing the first part of a barrel when you got the best part of the barrel? Super deep!
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
Lady Plumas went too late on this one… she takes the Wipe Out of the Day award!
… and Hidden Dragon (formerly known as rasta pad guy).
There was a fight between these two characters to see which one was the master of the magic cave.Photo 1: Crouching Tiger getting ready for a backside attack.
Photo 2: The Tiger scratching the cave’s wall with his sharp claws.
Photo 5: Crouching Tiger found a comfortable place in the cave.
Photo 6: The Tiger might be turning the cave into his home.
Photo 7: Wait! The cave didn’t like Crouching Tiger! The cave defended itself with a sudden slap on the head of Crouching Tiger.
Now it’s the turn for Hidden Dragon’s front side attackPhoto 1: Getting some speed.
Photo 2: Finding the right line.
Photo 3: The Dragon gets in the cave.
Photo 4: The Dragon looks like he found a spot to take a nap.
Photo 6: Oh wait, the Dragon is awake!
Photo 8: Hidden Dragon closed the cave’s curtains behind him, puts a lock on it and gets the victory!
Forget about the Christmas spirit at the beginning… I hope you liked my Bed Time Story about Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon’s amazing “Surf Off”. Come back tomorrow because it will be a little bit bigger and Brian Scott will be shooting at Colorado. Silla!
