Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops, specifically the French Fries peak. John paddled out on a 9ft Wavestorm and dominated the lineup.
Ahh! I think John might’ve missed a little barrel section here. Could you have squeezed in there?
There were two little local Nica kids hippity-hopping through the line-up. A nice mini-snap from the mini-surfer.
Decent body mechanics from Azulito on this crispy clean right-runner.
There you go Azulito! That’s a better top-turn! He still counter-rotated though.
John cruise or Juan Cruise?
Switch jump! John leveraging the extra length and width of the 9ft board to work on his gimmicky tricks.
And a regular footed floater to close the end-section.
Little blue with his “GRRR” face in full effect here.
Sometimes when the waves are small at French Fries, the best line on a longboard is simply cruising across.
Low, toes, twist! Excellent body mechanics from John during this cutback. Check his line of sight, trailing hand touching the wave-face, and lead hand coming up and around to match his line of sight.
Little Blue, what did I tell you about counter-rotating? Haha. Well John and Azulito were the stars of today’s report at French Fries. Tomorrow’s forecast looks like we’ll have lighter wind and a little more swell, so hopefully I can capture a few more shredders in action tomorrow. Thanks for checking in and have a good one.

Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
