Somewhere in Nicaragua
I heard the morning conditions weren’t all that great, so I decided to wait to check it a little later. I showed up to see some pretty big surf out there with only a handful of really dedicated guys out. Here my buddy Grey was slaying some of the monsters that were coming through today. He’s been surfing here for many years and his barrel riding skills show it.
There were plenty of photo ops for sure with all the big sets swinging in. I think most people today headed to the reefs and point breaks… which might have been the call??
This guy’s perfectly comfy in this little sneaker set tube here at our local beachie. Point break or not, you can’y beat an almost empty lineup!
Like I said… plenty of beautiful photo opportunities today, which was another good reason to skip the challenging conditions, unless you enjoy a good workout, or more like a good beat down.
Only one guy out at the reef up the road. Believe me when I say it’s a lot bigger than it looks from here.
Colin managed to find an exceptionally good left today amongst all the rights that were dominating the breaks today. A lot of west in this swell making for mostly rights.
Andre is visiting here from Nor Cal where I am originally from. Two facts I can think of is that he doesn’t miss his wetsuit right about now and he’s pretty comfortable in big heavy surf (think Ocean Beach).
Bruce Brown was very famous for his classic movies, Endless Summer being one of them. These guys scaling over the rocks, just to come find some surf here today reminded me of that epic scene where the surfers in Endless Summer painstakingly crossed hours of sand dunes just to find prefect waves. It was hot, but those rocks are a lot sharper than sand and they had to deal with this since it was high tide (see next slide).
Aside from the aforementioned hazards, I sure hope they found their pot of gold!
Hazardous beauty – all wrapped up into one nice explosion!
Yes that is actually somewhat of an A-frame, which was not the norm with todays elements. But the airdrop was good enough in my mind to add it to the show!
My friends Petra and Marc made it down for the carnage show. Welcome amigos!!
Grey doing once again what he does best.
Surfed out and waiting for that magical window to appear for today.. I’d say John’s got the best seat in the house if and when it turns on!
Did someone just yell…… O U T S I D E !!!!??
I think even this guy heard it!
There were some really sizable sets out there today. But we still have yet to see our yearly Grandiose swells for this time of year that graces our shores… YET?
Still though, any takers for our medium-large sized stuff?
I couldn’t believe Brett was out there on a 5’5” today. But his years of surfing proved, he knew what he was doing.
I watched as all these guys jumped off the boat they must have went north on today to score some point breaks. I think they’re still talking story about how sketchy it was when that previous set (see a couple images back) almost took them out paddling back in.
Some people were so stoked to end their surfing session today with their boards still in one piece.
but some weren’t so fortunate.
It’s a good thing Colin knows how to shape AND fix surfboards (thanks to shaping for many years under his Pops Señor Eberly) He’ll have this thing back together in no time and be back out there when it gets even bigger!!
Just remember, when you see the South Pacific going purple (and it will soon enough this season) remember to head to Nica if you want to surf anywhere you want (if you have the cajones) with an almost certain empty lineup.
Surfing is a way of life, but your life really is all about your children if you are fortunate to have them. Good surfer, amazing dad, beautiful baby girl. The circle of life!
I want to keep Mr Dan and Stacey and the kiddos happy with surf shots, but showing a little bit of the Volleyball I think is just as key!
Especially…. THIS GUY!!
Just another beautiful day in the books as the sun sets and the people play.
I hope you enjoyed yet another day and a look at the slice of paradise we call Nicaragua. Come back mañana for Sunday Fun-Day and see what mother nature is cooking up! Until then… Buenas Noches! ~
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
Hey amigos! Josh here behind the lens for the foreseeable future. Today’s report is coming from Panga Drops. The waves were pretty small again today, but just big enough for a few people to rip.
Happy Sunday everyone, Thanks for tuning. We had another fun morning of waves at the reef. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
