PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were very small today, but a bit bigger than yesterday. At least there were some rideable waves at French Fries. Yuji was my stuntman for today.

The rights at French Fries are much better. But this repeat / return visiting surfer found some good lefts. This might've been the set of the day haha!

Ahhhh! He was too apathetic during the landing. Goofball eh? The guy didn't want to hang on for life during the landing.

The alternate french fry peak closer to middle peak Pangas was inconsistent, but offered long walls when the sets came.

The faces were open and soft, which made for good cutback and roundhouse conditions.

I was surprised to see a few quality lefts roll through. Normally when it is this small the lefts are really bad.

Leave it to Yuji to track down a tubito at French Fries even when it is near flat.

Yuji's longboard style is looking very smooth. He will be a formidable opponent in this year's Chompipe contest.

Instead of shoving to normal stance, he chose to spin through into a goofy-stance.

He rode goofy for a bit, but had to bunny-hop back to his natural, regular stance for his upcoming moves.

He did survive the fat section. And went for a knee-sledding cover-up to finish haha. I have to give Yuji props for his imagination and creativity this afternoon.

The size should only be moving up for the next few days. It looks like September will pay us back for the long over due swell we've been starved of. Hasta manana.
