PLAYA COLORADO
Hey everyone! This Friday morning offered us a special window at Colorados. Gavin Doan was like the energizer bunny this morning. He was lapping everyone in the water haha.

Gavin was in the zone. This is a different left from the opening frame. The waves were faster than they appeared this morning though.

Gavin's right here was certainly one of the best waves of the morning. Maybe even the best barrel made this morning.

He read the wave correctly on the entry. He knew to drag and get deep.

Gavin logged some time in this tube. It had to have been at least four seconds.

A perfectly timed exit. If you zoom in, then you'll see the smile on Gavin's face.

Yuji got skunked while I was shooting. He sent it on a couple of draining closeouts to stay active.

He only grabbed his rail after the drop, so it put him out on the face of the wave a bit. He did get behind the curtain for a moment though.

He realized the wave was slower than he initially expected, so he did his best to engage his right torso and wipe off speed.

This was a good wave! Even if he was a touch ahead of some of the tube.

He had plenty of speed flying out of the hollow section, which he used to boost super high. He definitely got some bonus points for this huge air.

This return visiting bodyboarder found a sick drained out right at the north peak.

It looks like he'll have to navigate a bit of turbulence from the sand sucking up in front of him.

This was a perfect wave for a boogeyboard. It was small, but very round.

He completely disappeared and the corner clamped. I wasn't sure if he would make it.

He did sneak out just as the whole thing shut down. A good make to start his day.

A lot of the lefts were running very hot. But it's best to log as much tube time as possible while we can.
