Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola chavalos! Welcome to a new day and another surf report to put into the books. I only say that as I find it pretty cool that for the first 3 days of the new year, I’ve been able to shoot at 3, (that’s three) totally different surf spots each day (and keep in mind we’re not even anywhere near our normal or peak surf season). Which is just another fine example of what I was talking about yesterday and the diversity of this place and the many different options you have when surfing in Nicaragua. Enjoy!
Yeah, today was a lot smaller than the Reef on the 1st and nowhere near how magical it was up the road yesterday, but today there were waves at PC (and not a single person out at PD’s – which was super weird), but nonetheless, there were waves and everyone out was completely enjoying themselves.
I mean check out Rio, Jett’s little broski. He’s already climbing the ladder and making some big steps with his progression in his surfing. Never mind that HUGE backwash back or neck breaker… Rio’s completely focused on what’s in front of him… and it’s obvious he has a lot of determination!
Not a whole lot of people out today. Nothing as close as yesterdays literal barrel Gold Mine.
But if the waves are breaking and good enough to surf, every surfer knows you gotta paddle out, especially if you’ve come all this way and brought a board bag with something to surf.
JG enjoying everything there is to enjoy about the “Off-Season”.
Fin free lip bashing is highly recommended here. Matter a fact, the harder you go the better your trip here will be. Not just from a competitive perspective, but a lot of people not only watch from the water but from the beach as well; and I’ve seen complete strangers surfers or on-surfers, walk right up to other surfers & hand them a cold one, because maybe they got the wave of the day or did the sickest maneuvers out there! So the moral of my little story is, there is actually often times some pretty cool rewards for your stylish surfing here!
The best thing about being a grom….. almost every day will be at minimum head high. Jett steeeeezin out with this bottom turn here on a sick well overhead left.
How bad a$$ were your cutbacks when your were 6 or 7??? Imagine what Jett’s gonna be doing when he reaches 10???? Jeeeeesh!!!!
Always remember….. the safety word is pineapple juice! JAJAJAJAJA – but seriously if you want a really good laugh, just google “safe word pineapple juice”, & you’ll thank me later! LOL oki’s that’s a wrap for todays report.

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.

Hello everyone, how’s the new year treating you so far? Well, for the few smart surfers that decided to spend the first days of 2020 in Nica, the ocean is treating them well.
This is what I saw when I arrived to the beach… flat and smooth as a surfboard (the wind died down considerably today)
