Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi folks, this is Jairo “Come Pan” Panic and Mateo “Pledge” welcoming you to the Sunday surf report. We did not make it out to Maderas today because we had smaller waves with some onshore wind, but is was a perfect day to do some NSR surf lessons at Morgan’s Rock Eco Lodge/Hotel. Here is Mateo “Pledge” caught in action giving some surf instruction to our new friends from Managua.
Today JP was really stoked to go surfing for his very first time. He picked it up real quick and got a bunch of fun waves. Here he is taking off on a smooth little nugget. Good job buddy, we hope to see you again soon!
This is our next student Alejandra on a fun little wave. If you ever come to San Juan and want get some good exercise and have a ton of fun you should do some surf lessons with us, just ask Alejandra. She did a real good job today in the water applying what we taught her.
This is our last student Dania Maria taking this wave all the way to the shore. She really displayed some control on the waves today. Here she managed to maneuver around a log that got washed into the ocean from our recent storm!
After a good surf lesson nothing is better than paddling out there and getting a few waves of your own. I think maybe the instructors bonded a little too much, the next step would be putting these two on one board together. Alright, that’s enough love for one report, check back tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello and happy Monday, The swell isn’t finished yet. Panga drops still with some overhead surf and clean conditions this morning. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello and Happy Sunday. We headed off campus today to the south and tried to find some mellower waves. There’s still p[plenty swell in the water. @tonyzphotos bring you the days action.
Woah! The swell showed up big time this Saturday! Easily the biggest waves we’ve had this year, and probably since October or November of last year.

Another rainy day in Nicaragua, the new swell is building in the water but it doesn’t matter that much because we still have storm pattern around. It’s chest to shoulder high on sets and the wind is ONSHORE out here at teh bay.
OK, you asked for it, you’ve got it. Do we get big waves here in Nicaragua? You bet we do, and there were some BOMBS coming in today. Check out the guy dropping in on the shoulder, the 22′ boats in the foreground…it was BIG today and the local crew was out charging. JJ with..
Here is the one shot I took of the ocean at Maderas. On the bright side, the water was super clear and we speared a bunch of fish.
