Saturday surf report time! Whoop whoop! Panga Drops in the evening provided yet again for us. Similar size and wind to yesterday. Gabby opening today’s report on a long right-runner from the “top” of French Fries.

A young fella donning a Rancho surf shirt pushing through a textbook cutback on this left at French Fries. His back foot pressure and arm rotation both check out nicely here.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think this girl’s name is Aine. She was on a tear this evening. Slamming the end-section shut.

Another Rancho shredder representing at Pangas. Although I don’t think this carve was as powerful as the first fella’s, I do like this guy’s relaxed and extended style here.

Papi-surf, aka Kenny, working on his Cobra posture on some right peelers this evening. He had surgery recently so he’s gradually working his way back into surfing. I respect his dedication to get out there and on waves while knowing he won’t be able to stand on all of his waves.

It looks like Sarah enjoyed this evening’s session as well! The most successful surfer is the one having the most fun!

This surfer navigating the thin line of carefully engaging his rail without over-pushing the move and losing his speed.

Marcos Obando is another local surfer here who is well acquainted with French Fries. He used to (and may still) work at a house directly in front of the peak, so he knows the ins and outs here.

Aine doing her best to compete with Grant’s wake displaced. I don’t if anyone can hang with Grant when it comes to chucking buckets at French Fries though.

Johnny boy closing out the report on the trusty Wavestorm. Functional surfing, staying on rail even through the flat sections.

No complaints at all with the waves the past four days of my surf reports! The wind hasn’t been too bad and the size has been small, but steep enough for maneuvers on shortboards, at least on the sets. The size is supposed to gradually tick up over the next few days and Tony is back behind the lens tomorrow so be sure to stop by and see what action he captures.
