Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from main peak Pangas. The board giving us the finger accurately depicts the wind we experienced this morning and early afternoon haha.
No one was interested in throwing down with the wind, so John once again hard carried the surf report. #legend
He opted for the 9ft today (and I don’t blame him with the wind), but riding the 9 requires some serious back foot pressure during one’s bottom turns.
Even though John has a large frame, even he wasn’t able to get the 9ft to “snap” around. You’d have to be a big unit to turn a board like this on a dime.
Fading the takeoff. So stylish bro.
The great thing about the 9 is that you can get some insane drive if you set the rails and fins correctly, then extend.
Smooth, slow, and well calculated carves were about the best you could hope for today.
Speaking of well calculated carves…
Eeeyy! The PELI-CAmeo. *crickets*
John risked it for the biscuit with this quick end-section tap. It may look like a trivial make, but these are difficult moves to pull on really long gear.
Another (windy) day in paradise. We should see the wind decline in the next couple of days, but the swell continues to bleed with it. Tuesday next week kicks off another mini-pulse of waves. Thanks for checking in and most of all to John for always hard-carrying the report. Hasta mañana.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were very clean this morning, but nobody wanted to surf at low-tide. There were still a few good corners scattered across all of Pangas’ peaks.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. Yuji hard carried the report again. The wind was relatively calm and favorable, so that was nice. Surfline was wrong about the size again though. Smaller than called for.
