Hey everyone! Welcome to May 1st’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were still fairly small today. The sets had some size and space to work with though. This surfer demonstrated some textbook form through his bottom turn.

I'm glad that Shane's foot has healed enough for him to get out into the surf and grab some waves.

There were a few tubitos, but they would've been hard to find out there.

A couple of the surfers at the south peak weren't scared to pull into some closeout tubes. Sometimes you just have to send it.

The waves were fast again today. Once again, the gas pedal was your friend.
