Somewhere in Nicaragua
The brand new San Juan del Sur Surf Association put together efforts and organized a local contest in town. They did tag teams of 6 guys, constituted by two juniors, one girl, one bodyboard, 2 open surfers and one power surfer. Here we have a shot of the 4 teams we have participating in this event.
A couple of the local surf shops, restaurants and small companies helped out to make this possible. They sponsored wax, sunblock, food and drinks. These were some of the sponsors that make this possible and we would like to say thanks so much to all of them.
All the kids were very happy to participate in this event and they showed it in the water with their surf. This is Rex “La Bestia” Calderon with a sick move.
The bodyboarders were also doing their thing. This is Nestor “El Grillito” Aleman showing us why he is the National Champ in this category.
Larry “Carita de Venado” Davila was throwing some serious sprays all afternoon long. Check him out destroying the lip of this left hander.
Willian “El Canival” Mena came down to be part of this party and he loved it. Here he is going big with a giant floater on this left hander.
The event was won by Los Mopes composed by the juniors Harry Calderon, Gainer Granados, the bodyboarder Axel Carcamo, the open Willian Mena, Felipe Avendano and the power surfer Gerardo “El Mope” Miranda. The main prize was a dinner for 6 at Ines Restaurant, a surf trip with Arena Caliente surf shop and another dinner sponsored by the mayor office. No bad at all, uh.

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.
