Dan’s Surf Update

We’re still seeing the extreme tides from the moon cycle and the powerful surf to match.  With an ultra low this morning and a light off shore breeze, there were clean peaks popping up from The River, south through Gringo Central and beyond.

 

An onshore breeze at 10mph in the afternoon brought in semi choppy faces, but at five feet plus it’s still very rideable and the shorter wave period means more waves for everyone and less surfing over top of the mini local speed bump troop… as if they wouldn’t surf over you first.

 

The outlook for tomorrow is even better with bigger surf and a lighter breeze, so we should see slick faces all day.

 

In other news we’ve seen the triumphant return of Team Surf Shack from nationals where they cleaned up… unconfirmed reports have been made that Leo severed his face and still went on to win the title of  “Surf God of The Universe.”  More to come on that when we separate fact from fiction.

 

We also saw the triumphant return of Frans from his mission to Quito to spread the good word of the Surf Shak to the city’s wayward beach-bound disciples.  The Dutchman said unto the lost city dwelling souls, “when thou regainith thou’s good sense, come unto Canoa.  Here is a free drink ticket,” and it was good.

 

Woe to those who don’t come by tonight to celebrate Team Surf Shak’s sheer dominance and the unlikely, yet successful completion of 21 years of life by the resident Norwegian, Christian  (at least it certainly seems like he lives here.)  Rumor has it that there will be free shots floating about and with a little luck and a lot of rum we can probably coax Drew into dancing on the bar.
