PLAYA COLORADO

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size dropped notably today. Looks like the last day of tubitos until the end of the month. It was a windy one today, and Yuji’s about to come to terms with the wind here haha.

I think he probably needed like 2 more paddle strokes on the way in. He chose to pop-up pretty early and got held up. Here's the elevator drop down!

Risky business with his board here! Luckily it came up in one piece.

The wind was ripping very hard, nearly as hard as during dry season today. So the rights opened up much better than the lefts.

He bled it for one last mini-section at the end. Photophobia.

A young and talented visiting surfer managed to get a deeper right. Not quite as long as Koji's, but more challenging and deep.

The rip current adds an ominous vibe to the experience in the barrel. It gives you a little extra adrenaline.

One of the few lefts that opened up and wasn't lumpy from the easterly wind direction.

A good find from this unknown rider. The wind hit this one perfectly as it unwound on the sandbar.

The "pro" showing a similar idea, but much more technical and experienced with this type of maneuver. He got the higher air rep count on us barrel hunters haha.

I feel like this young fella could do well in comps. His timing of maneuvers, power, and precision were all impressive.

One last tube for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately we won't likely be seeing waves like this for a couple of weeks. Time to dust off the fish shapes, logs, and foamies! See y'all 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.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from French Fries. The wind was strong, but the direction of the wind was fine. I’d argue there was a touch more power and consistency today, so better waves.
