French Fries was slow between the sets, but they were long and clean when they came in.

John paddled out with the fishing pole, but didn't have much luck. He caught more waves than he did fish!

John flexing on us with his pole in the mouth surfing. Quite the stuntman.

He didn't sit still for long. I guess his objective was to cross the lineup. As he stroked into a left shortly afterward.

Excellent technique from John despite the backpack and fishing rod in the mouth. He's compressed, opening his vision and torso toward the whitewater, grazing the water with his lead hand, and nearly grabbing his outside rail with his left hand.

He played the rebound cautious. If he lost his bearings on the whitewater ball, then he might've lost his equipment.

I saw a few crazy rights at the southern side of Pangas lineup. A few make-able barrels.

Jackson swooping through a strong carve. A solid way to kick off his session.

Another one on the inside corner at French Fries. You gotta bleed the waves at Pangas!

It's shaping up to be a good "combo" here for John.

To seal this leg-burner left, John got a clean bank off the end-section.

There were good waves to be had out there. The aggregate consistency was high, but sometimes slow at any given particular peak. Still the biggest surf we've had in about a week. Tomorrow should be smaller, but I think there will still be shreddable waves. The wind has been behaving nicely for us. Hasta manana.
