Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone this is Robert “Lucha Libre” ,Jairo “Come Pan” Panic, and Mateo “Pledge” with the dirty Friday report. We just endured tropical storm Alma and she gave San Juan del Sur a beating. The river broke through the bay and brought a ton of debris into the lineup. Now the storm has passed and once the river stops flowing the bay will get back to its normal beautiful self. Today was warm and sunny with some small, choppy surf. Check it out!
To give you a better perspective on the raging, dirty river we got this shot. This really shows how much shrubbery is getting washed into the bay. Just last week you could drive right around the river, but now you are going to need a boat or a white water raft to ford this beast.
The first surfing shot of the day we have Larry “Carita de Venado” sporting his brand new board. Here he is testing out the board in some mediocre surf with a solid off the top.
English-Pedro “Cacsate” Florez here is generating some speed through some chocolate brown water setting up for the next section. “Cacaste” said that after surfing in that water it really put him in the mood for a chocolate milkshake from Eskimo.Espanol- Pedro “Cacaste” Florez aquí está generando alguna velocidad a través de algunos chocolates marron de agua para la creación de la sección siguiente. “Cacaste” dice que después de navegar en el agua realmente lo puso en el estado de ánimo de un batido de chocolate en la heladeria.
English-No matter how small and weak the surf is Rex “La Bestia” Calderon is always out there doing some pretty sick maneuvers. I think on this one he almost landed right on a tree!Espanol-No importa qué tan pequeño y débil el surf es Rex “La Bestia” Calderón siempre está por ahí haciendo algunas maniobras muy enfermas. Creo que en este casi aterrizó en un árbol!
Alright, this is the last shot of the day letting you see how much the bay has changed in just less than two weeks into the rainy season. The landscape really does get a lot greener just with a little water. Then with a lot of water we get a lot of trees and boats on the beach. Hopefully the waves are better tomorrow. Dale pue!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
Hey amigos! Josh here behind the lens for the foreseeable future. Today’s report is coming from Panga Drops. The waves were pretty small again today, but just big enough for a few people to rip.
Happy Sunday everyone, Thanks for tuning. We had another fun morning of waves at the reef. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy Mother’s Day for all the Mothers in Nicaragua, it’s
This is Roberto with the surf report and spanish class. Today everybody has the day off ’cause it’s the mother’s day, but we are still working. Its head high on sets out here at maderas, the water is warm and the wind is offshore.
Another day and more waves at Maderas. We had more head high surf and offshore winds today. The beach was really crowded and the inconsistent sets didn’t seem to help. When they did come in, they were nice.
