Hey everybody!   This is Eric comin' at ya with another daily surf report.  We got to the beach early this morning to find pumping waves!  Sets were way overhead and these waves had some juice!  The water felt good and the winds were offshore.  Check out the action from down on the beach!

The swell is coming in a little more from the west than it has been, making for some insane rights.  There was the occasional left also.  Unknown surfer pulling in backside!

Some of the waves out here this a.m. had tube sections big enough for two people!  These guys gave it a try but it didn't work out too well.

This crew has been down here for a little while and they scored some perfect waves while here.  They had to catch a plane this morning so they weren't able to paddle out.  Not to mention Guillermo (far right) who had an incident at the bar that left him unable to surf anyway.  It was great to meet you guys, hope you made it home safe!

I paddled out this morning and caught some fun waves.  However, I didn't get anything like what you are about to see!

Here it is... This is Simon from Australia.  This guy was absolutely dominating the lineup this morning.  Here he is, about to jump of a cliff!

The wave right after Simon's looked even bigger.  Lance charged it, made the drop, but then had to either pull in and get pounded or straighten out.  Better run fast Lance!

2:53 PM

Lance again, with our pick for wipeout shot of the day!  This guy can get just as barreled as anyone, but he also takes some beatings in the process!
