Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were pretty small today, and there was some backwash as you can see here. But there were a few rippers who dominated for the report.

This guy with the purple and pink board was undoubtedly the MVP of today's photo window.

I was very impressed with how much drive and speed he generated in the gutless surf.

Pushing the tail through in a fat section. That takes some serious control!

He was light on his feet, just like the purple board guy. They made it look easy out there.

Not many people were sitting at the north peak, so there were some decent empty waves that rolled through there.

This wave was a total mush-burger, but the MVP somehow managed to spin through a quick reverse.

This guy was fired up. I couldn't believe how many waves he caught. He had to have caught a wave in each set that came in. It was slow out there.

It was a good attempt, but you can see his back foot just came loose.

One last backside air reverse from the MVP. It was one-sided domination out there. Matthew's Law, eh?

It was a subpar day of surf, but some rippers made light work of the conditions. I am too lazy and impatient to grovel, so will bide my time until next week when something with more push shows up. Tomorrow through Sunday should be small like today. Catching the right windows will be key to not getting skunked.

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.

Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday’s report is coming from Colorados. Today is supposed to have been the bottom of the swell, so it was fairly mellow.

Happy Tuesday to everyboydy tuning in. When I checked the surf this morning it looked like the swell had dropped. We took a boat ride to the North to our favorite burger and found some good sized long peelers. Here’s Jan cruising down the line. @tonyzphotos reporting.
