Derek paddled out on what looked like the old Mayhem 5'5 x 19 1/4. It looked loose and slidey. Fun for this morning's conditions.

Here's another guy from the same group putting his rail to work. It's good to get it in today, as tomorrow could be a tube fest if the forecast is right.

Lucy cracking lips and taking names this morning. It's impressive how much her surfing has improved in what feels like a short time.

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was tiny and the swell direction was weird, so not even French Fries was working. John and Koji made the right call to pull out the hand-lines.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small today, but a few people got a very clean window. The vicious off-shores are supposed to start tomorrow, so they might’ve got the last of the good stuff for a bit.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops and French Fries. It was smaller than yesterday and the tide was off, but the wind wasn’t all that bad at sunset. Golden hour glass off. John hustling out there to play stuntman.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Wednesday surf report coming your way from Playa Colorado. Josh here back behind the lens for the next set of days. The waves weren’t massive today, but the shape was really nice and there was some shredding going down.

Happy sunny and actually quite the glassy Tuesday we had today! With the swell winding down until our next pulse (which is due later this week), I think the decision – based on a couple friends personal intel, to move it on up north a little ways was actually a pretty good call. Peep on..
