Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hello everybody and welcome to the NSR surf report! This is Parker logging in to bring you today’s action. Check it out!!
A few Costa Rican celebrities and I loaded into a truck and surfed a reef up north. Jorge, Manrique, Sebastian, and John (left to right) enjoying seeing a new spot.
First up: Senor Sebastian. I told him to fuel up on gallo pinto before he surfed this reef break.
Bam!! His surfing justifies his killer beard and work for Vissla. Nice turn, Sebastian!
His high school buddy Jorge joined the goofty footer’s party. By midday (and time for Jorge’s cutback), the offshores were firing!
On the other side of the reef, Manrique was gobbling up every right. Everybody was stoked to catch their share of frontside waves for two hours!
Last but not least was Big Pimping John. We don’t know how he became a pimp with a dentist background but we accepted it, just like this nice cutback with a hand drag.
While our crew was enjoying the waves, a local family was walking down the beach to find a spot to play. There are a lot of people traveling, vacationing, and having fun so please be safe during Semana Santa.
A minor SW filled in at sunset last night. We were anxiously woke up and hoped for a little more than shoulder high. Thankfully, they still had some juice to them.
Sebastian settled into his groove and packed handfuls of turns in per wave. Bro, what do you think about our waves versus Costa Rican waves?!
At lower tides, the waves are more hollower and sections of the reef are more exposed. This is a great time to avoid crowds and test your confidence.
Jorge manned up and pulled in. He found the one nugget barrel of the day. He squeezed a lot of body in and got clipped on his way out.
Everybody was going frontside but John snagged a backsider. He was the showed off his inner (creator and) innovator.
The guys talked about the crowds in their local lineups versus the crowds in Nicaragua. You just need to figure out which left your want to take.
Ask John which feeling is worse… Watching the set wave come behind or having to paddle out through the inside.
The real champs of the day are these guy’s wives. They offered to take care of the ninos while we went for a surf. Thank you ladies for letting us paddle out!!
RECENT REPORTS
Hello Monday, The swell continues into today with some cleaner conditions. There were some long waits, but for the few patient people in the water there was some glory to be had. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Good afternoon and Happy Sunday. We saw a nice jump in swell today from yesterday. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell definitely began to fill in today. The main challenge was the wind and extreme tides. This morning the tide was low, and the swell was just starting to fill in, but the wind was favorable which was good.

Hello everybody. This is the sunday report. Today a nice little nugget rolling all morning, the offshore wind is strong like 16 knots per hour, make the water cold a little, good right predominate in this swell direction.
Welcome to your Saturday snap report. Today we had something wrong going on with our camera equipment so we asked Mr Zeta for a couple shots to use. He went out with a couple of friends and they had a good time. Still plenty of swell in the water, nice offshore winds and sweet water. Check..
