Baldo got the opening wave of my photo session. It looked like he was riding a board similar to a fish, which was a good choice.

Smooth round carves. Baldo is no rookie at Pangas.

The inside section stood up more for him. He got some style points here, and I think was even hoping for a little shade.

Wham! I like that Baldo didn't hold back during this end-section smack. It's always a gift when you get a wave with one or two critical sections at Pangas.

John filled the role of being another one of the surf report's MVPs. The wind helped fluff out his spray ring here.

I guess this section was a little soft as John didn't drive through his top-turn as much as I expected.

His frontside carves were on point today. Laying down some power turns.

You can see that watching the Abu Dhabi surf comp has rubbed off on him. Many of the surfers were doing "bingus" turns. In other words, not rotating all the way through their turns. John didn't want to make the same mistakes as some of people at the wave pool.

Nothing cute about this slash! It's nice to have an end-section you can lay into. The Slater wave pools only push down the line and don't give you what the ocean does. Slater needs to add an air-section like the Waco pool to the end of his waves.

The big open canvas of outside Pangas. Don't try to force your turns there!

An excellent range turn here. I've gotta work on my rail game to catch up to John. He's got me by a fair margin these days.

A quick end-section tap from John to close his shred sesh.
