Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola amigos! Buena onda y Feliz Lunes! I’m back, so cheers to another trip around the sun & Huge Thank YOU to Mr. Chris for covering me ayer (yesterday). We won’t go into details of how old I am haha, BUT we will talk about the weather and look at some pretty cool shots from today…. So Enjoy ~
It was raining cats and dogs, shoots I think it was more like it was raining vacas y caballos (cows and horses out there this morning). Straight up down pouring rain and I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to get in some time to sneak down to the beach, let alone whether anyone was even out?
To my surprise, (the rain had stopped too btw) but I was blown away with how many people were out surfing. However, looking back towards the east and especially towards Gigante, I knew another big rain squall was looming and moving in quickly. So I shot as much as I could, as quickly as I could but mother nature caught me with my pants down (i.e. no camera/rain protection whatsoever) so I boogied, no more like RAN as I was half way down the beach and my moto where I had my camera bag with my rain cover was in as fast as I could.
Ahhhhhh, one of the best things you could ever buy or have in your camera bag. I really never have to use this very often as I am pretty good about timing the weather, but supposedly this is going to be one of the wettest La Niña years in a long long time. If you look closely not even the cover was keeping the rain off of my lens. It got to a point where my camera could barely focus because of all the water droplets on the glass. My shirt, shorts, everything was soaked, so I shot what I could and figured I’d make my way back with what I had.
Some people were even coming in.
Over it and calling it a day, and it wasn’t even 10am yet.
But then I saw more people going out…..
And just like that, the clouds dissipated and the sun even came out and it started to look like a semi nice, decent good lighting day (minus the onshore part).
How’s that for a change in light, color, and tac sharp photos, since I went back to my moto to wipe off my glass and remove my rain cover as I didn’t see any need for that anymore. Glad I got back down in time to see Jackson throwing this HUGE air!!!
The lighting got amazing, and the wave faces kinda went a little glassy, despite all that onshore wind blown texture out the back. This guy has something ahead that he’s got his eyes on……
BOOOOM!!! There it is!
Some nice swell, its just those darn backwards winds. Didn’t matter though, everyone out was ripping!
Check out this kids sick backside cutback. Super sick!!
I am pretty sure almost everyone out surfing comes from some sort of very similar waves as they were surfing today, which would explain why they were so comfortable looking out there.
Rock’ n’ Rolll. . . all the way!!!
Even his pops was killing it out there with his son.
Closeout sections are made specifically for your surfing progression!
Sun was back to shining and the smiles were abundant! You never know what you’re gonna get during the rainy season, BUT you can always count on some smiles and shaka’s will be thrown. Aloha and here’s to another week of Nica-Land. I will see you all again tomorrow.

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
Welcome to the Sunday surf report. It was a bit of a drizzly day, but the winds were calm and the water water super glassy. So it was another good day to be out in the surf!
The sun was shining bright again, the plants are greener then ever, the sky was painted blue and there were some windows of waves. Today was a good day. Come check it out!
What’s going on ladies and gents?! How are y’all doing today? Hopefully ready for the weekend! This is Parker uploading this morning surf shots. Check em out!
