Somewhere in Nicaragua
Buen día amigos! Another fine day at the playa today. Waves were a tad smaller, but there were still some fun waves, the sun was out and the winds were offshore. Always something to be grateful here in the land of waves-O-plenty!
Long roping waves were on tap today up at the reef. If you ask Oscar, he’ll for sure tell you today was pretty amazing!
The lefts weren’t bad either. Ask Cesar and he’ll tell you the same thing.
My hopes (especially if you read yesterdays report) was to shoot at Colorados again today, but as you can see, the swell dipped a bit and as always this time of year, the reef usually gets the nod when it comes to waves and surfers.
You know that feeling you get when you drop in and all you see is a nice long wall ahead of you?
I still think it’s an ok feeling, even when you see a shoulder hopper eyeballing your same long wall, as long as he doesn’t drop in, its all GOOD!
I think the best part of this wave is the length. Its not a super high performance wave by any means, but you can get really really long rides at this break and do a lot of turns.
The inside closeout section is always open for many types of maneuvers. Cesar, here obviously going for the leg burner layback snap.
Photo worthy, yup. This time of day and the lighting from this angle. Guaranteed!!!
See what I’m saying.
The golden hour light at this place can get pretty nuts when the light reflects through the waves peeling from the take off zone all the way in.
Marcelo taking one of those big sweeping turns and if he’s lucky, he’ll connect it through the semi-dead section and connect for that inside bowl.
Alberto showing perfectly the size of todays surf and the part of the length of this screaming right he’s on.
Turns, turns and more turns, this wave is so fun; and a nice break from all the barrels (said no-one! haha) during the peak season.
Nam’s got this place dialed with his little fish quad. No matter how much wind is blowing up that face, he’s still going a Gazillion miles an hour!
Christy and her Mama Cheryl enjoying one of our spectacular sunsets arm n arm, heart to heart and drink to drink. What other way to experience Nicaragua, right??
The birds always fly south in the afternoon? Does anyone know if they all live and reside in San Juan Del Sur or something and this is them heading home for the day?? haha
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.
