It was an all day affair of perfect waves. Not matter the tide or the time of day, it was pretty much firing all day long.

When you live in a place where the waves are good almost year round, its hard to take a report like we have today and not get overly excited, but today was one of those days.

At the Playa, from sun up to pretty much sun down (which is where I was all day today) it was pure magic!

OK, this photo may need a little explanation. This is Kevin Cortez on what could very well be the wave of the day. He took off super deep and setup for the perfect barrel. Only because I’m limited on time, I’m only gonna show you one of the frames early on, on this wave.

Rutcie was absolutely on fire today. She must have surfed at least 4 hours straight. But that’s what you do when the waves are this good!

However, dealing with super hollow and crunchy waves like this.. there’a always consequences. Nick punched his shin straight threw his rail. not to worry… there’s always another board waiting back at the pad.

The rights were firing all morning. The one and only reason you won’t see too many lefts in this report is because they produce way better light in the afternoon. But here’s on for your viewing pleasure sometime well before lunch time.

One of the great things about combing surf & skating is you have just a bit of more added flare to your already pronounced style.

Unfortunately the real sting is when you see what you could have made. (*ED note.. the surfer who wiped out on this wave absolutely kills it on the reg here daily. So don’t be disheartened by this very freak and unnatural occurrence from such a talented phenom). Plus it would be nice to have some compassion, he broke his board too. We can all relate the these atrocities when dealing with mother ocean!

Super stoked to see my buddy Marcos paddle out at the beachie today for some barrels. He’s a regular up at the reef. I think we can all tell just from his bottom turn.
