Happy Sunday Funday everybody and welcome to the report of the tail end of our holiday weekend surf. It was a great big mixed bag of all kinds of types of waves today… and we had some great return surprise visits as well. So without further ado, lets get this surf report going already!

Maybe he was watching this guy get shacked… either way, I’m sure this guy’s feeling all nice and safe in his barrel.

That is, until the wave decides it doesn’t want you on it anymore and smacks you in the cabeza. Waaahhhpaaah!!

I was out for quite a while shooting, but when I first arrived, it was a little lackluster. Oscar flaring it up in between sets.

I knew it would get better with the tide going out, and so did Hot Carl. Showing up just in time when the elements were about to get good!

First frame was his intro, this frame is his outro. He’s like a good book… you don’t want to skip on anything in-between.

There’s one of three things happening here… these guys are either coming back after surfing “the reef” or they’re coming to surf the beachie, OR they surfed the reef and are now going to surf the beachie. Or maybe a 4th option, they’re pooped and they’re gonna go have a great big breakfast. Any and all options are the best ways to start the day here.

As you can see…. Jackson’s clinic was going on pretty much all morning.

So as I mentioned earlier, we had all kinds of crazy surf going on out there. We had some pretty big steep air drops.

If you look close enough, Lesther’s feet aren’t even connected to his board, but I will let you know he stuck the drop.

We had some amazing light color with every shade of blue the Pacific could produce today.

There were some absolutely drained out, below sea level caverns

and there were some behemoths you didn’t or shouldn’t go on, if you’re smart enough to not fall for the dangling carrot.

There were some frothy messy, but at the same time beautiful looking foam monsters.

He definitely has his quiver dialed in, doing turns like this.

Ryan likes sitting really deep on those river mouth lefts.

Slamming on the brakes with everything he has, luckily he got this nice long one for his last wave in today.

Carlos has always skipped out on the bottom turn on this wave. It’s probably why he’s one of the most successful barrel riders ever at this spot.

6:28 PM

Case in point, sans the unnecessary bottom turn. Deep and as pitted as always.

It was even better that I saw him get his first nice tubo after being back.

We have a nice surprise fellow photog who will be reporting for you… so come on by to check out there amazing work, you’ll enjoy for sure!!! Chao for now ~
