Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there weekend friends! Espero que tu fin de semana vaya bien?
We had some pretty fun waves out there today.
Just ask Roger….
He was loving the reef this afternoon, catching waves left and right.
Be it big or small, people exiting the water here always have a pretty good smile on their faces after a surf.
Two for two on this super fun Saturday.
The pulled back view of this wave never stops being impressive, no matter the size or the crowd.
The closeup on the other hand can rival any other tropical paradise beach or reef break anytime of the year when the waves are of equall size and color.
Backside schwackk attack from a local surfer, Nesmir Silva from the Rancho Santana Surf Team.
Backside from same wave but totally different view, which do you like better??
By the looks of it, there was something looking obviously pretty good straight out for these observers in the foreground. My sights were obviously set on my 12 O’clock.
Talking about 12 O’clock. Straight UP!
If I had to choose between the kids ripping out there today, I think Jhonsie Ruiz gets the prize, with moves like this!
Neila Currey was out there today getting her surfing lessons on. Looks like her coaching is paying off pretty well!
Saddy Guzman (also from the Rancho Santana Surf Team) would get my close second in the ripping department.
At the end of it all, lugging your log back home with a smile on your face means it was pretty good day.
Here in Nicaragua, especially on the coastal side of things, there are two kinds of Nicaragüenses; the people who partake in the ocean life – like these here handline fishermen trying for the best catch of the day.
And then there’s the people who partake in the life of the ocean. The local wave riding people… 99.9% all first generation surfers but hearts of Aloha like they’ve been surfing for decades. Always keeping the stoke alive! Enjoy your weekend mi gente…. Dale pues ~
RECENT REPORTS
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves surprised to the upside today. It was slightly larger than I was expecting, and there were hour plus long windows where the wind dropped out.
Hola amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The tide was a bit lower by the time I got around to shooting today, so there was more action at mid-peak than the side-peaks. The wind was stronger today, but it was a little bigger today too.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops, once again we’re talking French Fries. The waves were smaller today, but the shape was arguably slightly better than yesterday. The wind was also a touch lighter.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
We be loving 2017 so far and hope you are too. Waves heights are in the waist to head high size, water temps are still in the low 70’s, and (big surprise) the wind is offshore all day. We rolled up to the beach today only to find someone demonstrating the best way to rust..
Hello primos. What we can say about the waves today. The offshore is really good but the ocean is flat. Some baby waves were working in one of our breaks. Check how look the beach today.
Hola amigos, we got to the beach for a sunset sesh. The waves are still small, winds got lighter and the water is a bit chilly. Check it out!!!
