So here's the thing... I've had a lot of experience surfing Colorado and Panga Drops, but I have never surfed Popoyo Popoyo (pictured) is the OG premier wave in this area. It's an A-frame reef wave which chucks a barrel at takeoff if you can make it. There's enough space on the wave for multiple turns. This wave is legendary. It's what put the Nicaragua on the map. I have been wanting to surf this wave forever. But, this place needs swell, and we just haven't gotten any. Considering the forecast had said it might be big, I thought this might be my chance. So I pulled the trigger. I had the day off, except for the report, and I decided to make the trip.
