Somewhere in Nicaragua
It wasn’t that far on the map but it took us most of the day to make Acapulco. Winding through the city streets (which are not unlike Chinatown, SF on a weekday afternoon), we were certain that we were lost several times. However, after one refueling stop and getting pulled over by the fuzz we managed to find the one “recommended” hotel in our AAA guide – And, as lucky as we could have possibly been, it was the hotel directly above where the world famous Acapulco cliff divers perform. As you can imagine – Hot Carl was estatic! Although it was too late to jump tonight, we managed to meet the Lead Captian Diver – “Juan” and he agreed to show HC the ropes in the morning.
Hi, this is Roberto with the surf report for today. It’s overhead on sets and the wind is offshore. We get many big barrels today and everybody was so happy. With a day like this one I can take picture all day long. Check it out.
95 degrees, 6ft barrel, Jason…….shack foo!!!
Today we’ve got good surfos out there representing Ponce Inlet. Here is Joey working on his Jerry Lopez bottom turn…
Jason pulled into one of the many shacks………..!!!!
Annie was out too getting barreled.
Mr Brown was killing it today. Here is one of the best barrel of the day.
Joey again shacking in to the green roon.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello Monday, we had some rain overnight and some on and off drizzle during the day. This has been making for light winds and a relief from the heat. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Happy Sunday and Father’s Day to all the papas out there. We have some inconsistent surf in the waist to shoulder high range. @tonyzphotos reporting.

Man, it’s tough to do this without a computer, but we are going to try. Right now we are working with borrowed equipment and it’s just not the same. Please bear with us until we get up an running again with another laptop. We’ve got head high sets and offshore winds today at Maderas. Check..
