PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The swell did show up more for us today which was much appreciated! It was still more inconsistent than ideal, but there were barrels to be had throughout the day.

Carl got plenty of travel time and enjoyed a nice vision to start the day. Unfortunately it ran hot on him at the end, but he did what he could. Nice work Carl.

Another drop knee! This one is slightly better as his knee isn't completely planted. Better to give yourself at least some mobility and room to operate.
