PLAYA COLORADO
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The swell definitely dropped slightly overnight, but as you can see there were still some gems!

Lesther caught what was probably the best wave of the morning. I had to double take when I saw this wave stand up perfectly for him.

I was tripping on the beach watching this thing unwind. I knew immediately after shooting it was surf time.

Still the same tube, just a guy magically surfaced after going on the wave before. Pay attention to how the guy disappears out of frame as Lesther travels.

You can see the corner of his back, but he's pretty much gone. Lesther probably traveled about one quarter of the lineup zone just in the tube.

Another day in the life for Lesther. What good is money, if you can't use it to get barreled haha?

To flex upon us even harder, he threw a little double grab for extra style points. No completion, but Lesther still got an 11 point ride in my book.

To keep things interesting, I'll go ahead and share Oscar's response to his elder brother's epic ride.

Oscar hitting the breaks just enough to get right in front of the foam ball. Deep, but not too deep.

He reappeared! His posture was a little strange here, so I thought he might still fall.

The end section continued to shrink on him. But this was already shaping up to be an excellent effort on Oscar's part.

He fully disappeared again and the barrel was very tight. I thought he was down for the count.

Oscar's wave wasn't as good as Leshter's, but Oscar was deeper and got two sections. His judgement, reaction time, and posture were excellent. Espinoza boys cleaned house this AM.

I think this was the pig-dogger from earlier. Looks like his posture and technique are better honed going frontside.

The ripped up rights are arguably the most challenging barrels to navigate. But that also makes them some of the most rewarding and "squarest" when it is big.

It has been a good run of swell! Still a little slow between sets, but I'd say it was the best swell that we've had so far this year. The next few days will be smaller, but I'm sure there will be shreddable waves. See you tomorrow.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell height and interval were both notably higher today. So much so that most of the action was at the middle-peak, with less happening at the sandbars. Asher with a stylish entry on an outside right bomb.
