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.
