Happy Sunday Funday amigos!!! I’m so happy to write to tell you we have some new swell that started pounding our shores today. It was a bit of a waiting game throughout the day, but my patience paid off, as you’ll see in todays surf report. Hope you ENJOY!

This obviously is what any surfer loves to see when they roll up to their favorite break.

BTW this wave he clocked almost 10 seconds in the barrel. Here he is about midway through… giving a clinic on proper barrel riding skills.

The complete and perfect image for self isolation while being a surfer… or shall I say being a very “Free Surfer”.

Manny happily knows how to show up exactly every time when the real surf show is always going down. Smiles are always the added bonus.

You’d be sprinting your happy a$$ out there if the waves were empty and looking like this too, right???

Lumps and bumps way out on the outside usually means two things…..

Chacoyo was one of the only few locals out there showing the local knowledge in todays growing swell. I’m sure tomorrow, I’ll have plenty of local power to show you. Super bummed my boys, Lesther, Oscar, Jason and crew are held up in Guatemala right now during this world lock down. Hope to see you guys back soon, amigos!!!

If I counted correct today… I think there were no more than 10 people in the entire lineup all day today. Robin’s completely ok with that.

Another Chris, aka ALD, aka Another day in the life, Mr. Chris Conner, who’s been down here for way longer than I can even recall has got to be the most surf stoked human on the planet when he’s surfing these waves. Don’t believe me…. just zoom in and look at his face!!!!

Well, there might just be one other guy….. of course it would have to be Manny. Look at him all encompassed and surrounded by his love of mother ocean! Signs are signs. Doesn’t get more literal than that.

Earlier I mentioned Sean was giving clinic with his barrel riding skills today. Let me rephrase that… he gives clinics with anything surfing. Yeaaahhh he’s that GOOD!!!!

And just as that low tide started to appear…. the really hungry surfers stayed while everyone else called it a day. Josh, hungry and ready for anything!

And with that low tide… also comes some really funky, yet dangerous waves.  Joe, all in!!!!

Nothing can stop a true surfer, be it tide, unfavorable winds, or in this case size…. especially when you’ve watched and waited all day for these kinds of waves to come in. So glad they came in today for my buddy John!
