PLAYA SANTANA
Hey everyone, how are all of you today? Today the weather was great and decided to go for a drive to check how other spots were doing, just to bring some variety to the surf report.
As always, I ended up taking photos in the closest spot from Colorado, which is Santana beach. My intentions are always to go check out Popoyo but I guess I’m lazy… either way, Santana was looking good.
As always, the little wedges at Santana were doing their thing, throwing A-frames here and there, and just a few locals sharing them.
Most of the rights were slow and kind of fat but these kids didn’t waste any space to keep pushing their own limits and try new things.
But the few exceptions were really good, with a good size and steep walls to go for big turns.
Even some surfers got lucky enough and found a little bit of shade on the rights.
As you all know, Santana is famous for the lefts (as most of the best spots in the country) and most of the rides were focused that way.
Getting ready for a barrel with all eyes on him, not a bad spot to be.
Did I say “bad spot”? We all can relate to the saying “been there, done that”, and I could add ” so many times” to the end.
Ok, this is a series of bad spots all together… first, you have the late dropper “about-to-get-barreled-but-someone-dropped-in-on-him” kind of spot. Second, the guy who got caught on the inside and almost got ran over by the guy on the shoulder while checking if the late dropper will run him over instead. Third and last, the guy on the shoulder didn’t make it, his rail got caught and lost control right away.
NSR is here to lift your spirit, either to make you dream about your next surf trip to Nicaragua, or even better, to take photos of you while you’re in the Great Spot fulfilling your dream about surfing in Nicaragua.
Plenty of great waves everywhere, and still not bad crowds, what are you waiting for? Reserve your next trip to Nicaragua and let us take care of you in one of the many rental properties we have in Hacienda Iguana and Rancho Santana! See you soon!
