This right was one of the only hollow waves I saw all evening. It was the diamond in the rough. It caught the handful of surfers out by surprise.

I think this is Skeeter. I could be wrong, but it's hard to mistake his appearance and powerful surfing.

He brought a new level to "putting it all on rail". He displaced a lot of water!

Will with a casual wrap. When the wave slows down there's no need to rush your maneuvers.

This little insider right drained pretty hard. A grom could've got the barrel of their life in this thing.

Alvaro with another zingy carve. He seemed to be enjoying the left dominance of the swell direction and sandbars today.

Some of the sets bent away and had long shoulders. Speed was still necessary on the sets and down-the -line waves today.

Hello and Happy Tuesday, Thanks for checking back in. The forecast was calling for a drop in swell so I immediately went to Panga Drops which is our local swell magnet and we had some waves. @tonyzphotos reporting.
