There were a few new faces out there, but plenty of waves to go around.

This guy was the MVP of the photo session. He definitely caught the most waves, and probably the best rights that I saw.

I think this guy, the MVP, got a piece of each set that came in. That's always the objective as a surfer.

He was riding a bigger board, but there's no shame in that at Pangas especially when it is small. It was shaped somewhat like a shortboard, so he was able to maneuver it fairly well.

The MVP making that beefy board look like a standard performance shortboard.

One of the two guys from yesterday was out on a rounder board. It was able able to better carry speed through the flat sections. More speed usually means more spray through your turns!

Kai probably has the best wave selection of everyone at French Fries. No surprise considering it is his backyard spot.

Kai also kept it smooth with his turns today. His large frame worked in his favor here. He can move a lot of water with less speed than others.

PANGA DROPS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was even smaller today and the wind was still strong. That being said the faces of the waves were still fairly smooth at French Fries. It is almost always more protected from the wind there than all other spots on the beach.

Howdy everyone! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The size poked up unexpectedly today. I guess the 15 second swell interval finally flexed it’s strength.
