Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi folks, we are Lucha Libre and Come Pan Panic with the surf report from out here at Maderas. Today we headed out to the beach in the morning with all the locals to have a fun session. There are some super fun shoulder high set waves coming in today, the wind is strong offshore and the water is still pretty cold. Check it out.
The water is cold today, so all the locals decided to take the wetsuit out and give it a try. Here they are posing for the camera before to paddle out.
The local crew was surfing pretty well today and were taking advantage on the set waves because all of them wanted to have a good shot to make it on. Here is “El Tuzo” Morales working on a nice set wave with a sweet floater.
Meanwhile Sr, Rex “La Bestia” Calderon was just having fun because he knows that he always get a good shot. Here he is shredding it.
Gerardo “El Mope” Miranda took a ride to the beach with us today and he wanted to get a couple of good shots too. Here he is smaking the lip on a nice wave.
Today we have Christina from LA, Cal with the interview of the day. She comes down to Nicaragua twice a year to have fun with her husband at Playa Maderas which is her favorite beach spot. She likes Maderas because she said we have great people, sun and super fun waves.
Rodolfo “El Tablon” Zapata made it out today too and was having fun with all his local friends. He’s one of the best groms we have in town and now he’s working hard because he wants to get a good score in the upcoming National Contest at Las Penitas, Leon next weekend. Here is “El Tablon” with a cool spray.
Augusto “La Gaviota” Chamorro is so excited for the upcoming contest at Las Penitas. This time he’s ready to win his second National Tittle against his older brother “La Baloy”. Here he is going big with a sick floater on one of the best wave of the day.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s report from Panga Drops. The waves were definitely cleaner and better today, but still fairly small.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s surf report from Panga Drops. The ESE devil wind flared up this afternoon. I had to coax John into paddling out and playing stuntman at French Fries.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. This Wednesday’s report is coming your way from Panga Drops. It was a little inconsistent, but there was a bit more size today on the sets. All of these peaks had their moments today too. Lucy setting up for a super clean right..
FROM THE ARCHIVES
More of the same, we don’t have change about waves size yet. It’s waist high on sets and the wind is offshore, but we are hoping to get a swell on the next two days.
This is Roberto with the surf report and spanish class for today. It’s about chest to head high on sets out here at Maderas, the water is chilly and the wind is offshore.
Once again, we went driving all around Nicaragua looking for surf…and we found lots of it. The swell is still holding at solid overhead so all the spots are working. The offshores backed off a little, but they were still strong. We went back out to the new spot called Drillbits to get this shot.
