Somewhere in Nicaragua
Maria Angelica Update – We wanted to provide some follow-up and say thanks again for all the support and donations that changed Marie Angelica’s life. All the surgeries to repair her cleft pallet went very well and she is doing great. Your donations not only changed her little life, but also caused great changes for her whole family. Mayela, Marie Angelica’s mom, has returned to her normal social and loving character and is no longer plagued with the depression caused by the stress of caring for a deformed child. Not only did your donations help give Maria Angelica a better life, they helped give 3 other siblings there mother back and Abel his wife back. You most likely will never fully realize the impact you made on this family and this community with your generosity.With all the negativity with the current economic state, we hope this will cheer up your day. Attached is a picture of her taken Christmas morning at Playa Santana, with her older sister. Hard to believe it is the same child. Thanks again!
Hi and welcome to the Friday surf report. We are the NSR family bringing you the action from out here at Playa Maderas. Today the waves were small but with excellent form to take the big boards out. It was running about knee to waist high on sets, the winds were offshore and the water was a little bit more chilly than normal. Check it out.
As we said before the waves were perfect for longboards but there still big enough to have a couple of fun rides on the short board. Here we have this unknown rider taking a nice right.
This guy on this left was taking waves all over the place on the big panga. He really was having so much fun out there. It is so good when we want to use the big board and the lineup is pretty clean like this morning.
It looks like somebody is getting famous down here in Nicaragua and all over the world. This beautiful girl made her dream a reality this morning when she met one of the best local surfers in Nicaragua. Here is Kate from USA posing for the camera with her new date for tonight.
A few locals paddled out because the water was a little bit cold for us. Anyway, Efrain “El Jaboncito” Matuz took his board and was doing some maneuvers on the small but sweet waves. Check him out on this shot going off the top on this left.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to this morning’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were slightly bigger today and the wind wasn’t too bad. There were some fun waves.
Howdy folks! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was supposed to be ripping hard today, but it was actually very light this morning. The only downside was that the tide was low at that time.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Pangas, specifically French Fries right. The wind was ripping pretty hard around mid-day, but it mellowed out slightly in the evening and the direction improved some. It was golden hour!
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the surf report from somewhere up north, yeah guys we have some swell in the water and that is very strange on this month. We took a couple of locals from San Juan del sur, pack it up and started a sick trip of two days. It’s overhead on sets, the wind is..
We’ve got Roberto with the surf report for today. Yesterday we had a fun swell in the water but today we have chest high on sets and the wind is still howling offshore. Everything can happen in Nicaragua.
Could we please get some swell down here? Today is even smaller than yesterday. We are hoping it picks up soon. Like a lake
