Somewhere in Nicaragua
Welcome everyone to the Friday surf report. This is Jairo “Come Pan” Panic throwing you a heavy day down here in Nicaragua. Today we had one of the bombing swell of this year. The waves were GOING OFF today. It’s seriously some of the biggest surf I’ve seen in about 5 years. Lucky for us we have this slab that breaks about once per year and today it was serving up some serious waves (and beatings) Check out one of the sick waves coming through. This thing is heavy!!!
Here we have Sean Pearson grabbing his board, so he can get into this wave better. This kid joined up with the NSR crew today and was charging. This is how you backdoor a big, slabby section! Nice work Sean.
Most of the big waves were so heavy they were unmakeable without a jetski. It was better to try and find the in-betweeners and get barreled! This is Colin getting a small, but nice shack on this left. This guy was super happy to score good waves today.
It was about 50/50 (at best) on most of these things and we had some good wipeouts to show for it. Here’s a nice collection of people going over the falls. Watch out for the reef…it was sucking dry at times.
Tyler was part of the action today. He was catching plenty of good waves. Here he is with this nice front side cut back on this wave.
The NSR crew paddled out as well. These guys were ripping and shred some sick waves today. Here we caught Pancho Sanchez setting up for a nice barrel. Nice one Pancho!!!
Most of the waves today in this spot were super hollow. Here we have Peter “Shady” take Advantage of one of them. Here he is getting ready to be inside this big green room.
Wow! What a fun day. This wave is really a beast…or La Bestia in Spanish.
Later on we went another spot to see what is going on. When we went there we found Oliver surfing by himself. Check him out dropping off one of the bigger waves of the day.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey viewers! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was relatively mild today, especially in the morning and evening. It was small, but I’ll take small with no wind at Pangas over big and nuking wind.
Monday did not disappoint! Welcome to today’s surf action from Panga Drops. I took photos in the morning and in the evening. This chica has been crushing it at sunset the past few days. She doesn’t miss many waves haha!
Sunday Funday! Welcome to this morning’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were really fun this morning. There was a surprise bump in the size and the wind was light. Probably the best waves we’ve had in a week or two, in my opinion. Zach with a big late drop and a cameo from..
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Now that the 2008 contest season is over, we’d like to congratulate our overall champions. For the Nationals and Junior Nationals, the Champ is none other than Young Rex “La Bestia” Calderon. For the International division, Luis Chamorro took home the honors. It was a clean sweep for the SJDS boys this year who all..
Hi folks, we’ve got Lucha here with the surf report for today. After almost 2 weeks with no waves we have a new swell in the water today. It’s running about head high to overhead on sets and the wind is offshore. Check it out.
Now for those of you who’ve never been to PV – it’s INSANE this time of year. Think Spring Break meets Mardi Gras meets Disney World, at the beach. I’ve never seen so many people walking around the Malecon. Hot Carl and I felt it would be a shame to come all the way here..
