PANGA DROPS
Hi everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were very small today, but Sterling’s Left and French Fries were rideable.

Grant had French Fries' right to himself for a good chunk of time when I first rolled up to shoot.

Ella Kate may have had the best or one of the best wave counts of everyone out there this afternoon.

She's gradually getting more comfortable riding an epoxy short(er) board. The next step is getting her to engage her toe-side rail more after her pop-ups.

John snuck a few waves in while Ella Kate was working her way back out.

She's got some pressure over her toes here. I think she is still of the mindset that she needs to take her turns slow like on her soft-board. But the shortboards rails can handle more aggressive bottom turns.

Opher enjoying Sterling's Left. Hard not to like a left-hander as a goofy-foot.

Opher looked like a special ops agent out there with his sunnies. I like his style here looking for some cover on the inside bowl.

Unfortunately it walled up and didn't offer him an exit. Still good to train your "section-spotting" and barrel entries while we can during off-season.

Grant flexing his strongest move. His strong, yet smooth frontside carve. He does a good job engaging the perfect part of his rail to displace maximum water while maintaining his speed.

The section crumbled so he made use of the coping to work in a stylish floater.

She made the right move to drop low here. She might've been able to have pulled back up the face again, but it was a solid ride. If only the lip pitched out wider, then she could've got a head-dip!

Tiny waves, but fairly chill wind. Tomorrow might even be smaller and a touch windier. Yikes! There have been decent little windows each day, so I'll find some decent action for you viewers. Hasta manana.
