PLAYA SANTANA
Hola a todos! Welcome to today´s surf report from Santana beach, Tola, Nicaragua. It´s Tuesday and all the beaches around Nicaragua are getting prepared for Semana Santa!
When I arrived to the beach there was only one surfer in the water, guess who? Mister Mullet! He had the whole beach for himself (and his mullet), catching all the good ones at first peak.
Right away he started getting some nice rides on first peak. He is looking directly to the camera like asking “are you getting this?”
Suddenly everybody decided to come to the beach. There was this family who brought his beach chairs while the kids were playing in the water. Semana Santa style!
I met this kid on the beach, he was having a Coca Cola and a small bag of chips as lunch right before getting in the water. I asked him: “A matarla o a matarte?” (To kill it or to get killed?) he just started laughing all shy and said “a materme!” (“to get killed!”). He said his name was Jon Jon Flores (John John Florence) right before he took off to the water! I stayed there laughing for a while.
Here is Jan teaching the locals a few tricks on how to surf with style… mullet style!
This is the biggest iguana I´ve ever seen in Nicaragua! and just hanging right at the top of the coconut tree. Super cool!
The conditions will stay like this for a few more days so, come back and keep having fun with our report! Saludos
