Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Welcome to Saturday morning’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were really glassy this morning and plenty of surfers out which made for some quality content! Cheehoo!
There aren’t any traffic lights at Panga Drops. But by the looks of Roberto’s calm, collected expression here, he doesn’t need any! It would’ve been even better if the wave was hollower and he could’ve got “barreled” underneath the Odyssea foamie haha.
There was a wide variety of surfers in the water this morning making lemonade from lemons. Some advanced, like the gentleman captured here, some just breaching into the intermediate category.
I think the lady surfer pictured here might’ve been the little dude paddling out’s mother. Take notes little man! A good mother leads by example.
Lucy needs a little house boat moored just outside of Pangas haha! She has become a permanent fixture in the lineup there.
I feel bad as I’ve forgotten this gentleman from Rancho Santana’s name, but he makes a few regular appearances on the report. I like his choice of attire here. It is nearly the exact same as my coaching outfit (less the booties). Black and grey all the way (for my fellow anarchists). His style is 11/10 here.
Lenny showing his young padawans what it means to “get on rail”!
The infamous instructor – student stare down. Who blinked? The world may never know…
Rob and Lenny demonstrated their excellent maneuvering today. Tomorrow we’ll have to up the ante and see if they can each dodge two boards per wave.
A cruisey cutback from Mr. Roberto. He looks a little gassed here haha. Maybe he depleted all his energy earlier in the session dodging foamies haha.
Katrin ready to attack the corner of this right. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Ah yes, the highly coveted “never ending” French Fries right-gutter peeler. French fries’ sandbar runs into the deep water inside of Pangas main peak making for some ridiculously long-rides when it’s working.
Where were my beginner students weaving through this Villas Iguanas barrel? HAHA. Well that wraps up a pretty entertaining Saturday shred-fest from Pangas. Tomorrow the wind is forecasted to be ripping really hard, so I don’t know if it will surpass the bar set by today’s report. But who knows? Anyways, enjoy the weekend y’all and catch you tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for next set of days. Monday’s surf report is coming your way from Panga Drops, specifically “French Fries”. The swell was close to non-existent, but Pangas did its magic and magnified the lackluster size into something playful and shreddable.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey there everyone today decided to go take some photos down here at Pangas and the surfer out there did not disappoint Josh was out there giving a class on some foam boards and it looked like lots of fun.
Welcome to the windy day Thursday surf report damas y caballeros! Check out them whitecaps out the back. There were some fun waves coming in, but those white caps also mean one other thing… get ready for some chillier water temps. But don’t worry, I’d be willing to bet majority of the people (ie. you)..
Hello surfers of the world, Feliz Dia de los Reyes Magos! Today the waves were tiny and nobody was surfing, but don’t worry, as promised, today I’m doing the Best of the Second half of 2020. Enjoy!
