Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves had a little bit of push, but were still fairly soft and mellow. It was all about finding the set waves.

The wind was very light, which made for clean conditions. This guy could've nearly found a tubito on this high-tide left.

The rights and lefts were similar quality wise today. The rights had a bit more "bowl" to them though.

Bang! This surfer worked through a few decent snaps to the inside. His upper body position and placement here is good.

The faces were open and clean. Good for strong carves if you could generate sufficient drive and/or speed.

Overcast sunset Saturday Surf Report coming your way from Panga Drops! I ended up getting stormed out off the beach during the photo session, but I managed to capture the general conditions and vibe today. It was a bit bigger today than yesterday, but overall pretty similar conditions.
