Somewhere in Nicaragua
Today we were ready to make it to the beach and score some good waves with offshore wind but it was raining a lot this morning and it made all the roads bumpy. Any way we loaded “El Burro” up and headed out to Maderas around 9:30 am, it was still raining but not too much. We got stuck in one of the rivers on our way to the beach because there was so much water running through. The first guy who got in trouble trying to cross the river was the guy who was driving that white Toyota in the background, his truck was taken by the river like 25 meters down from the main road.
After more than one hour, we finally took Aram out of the river but there was another friend who tried to cross the river and went for a dive. Check out Aram watching how deep Dario can get on his jeep. Actually Aram pulled him out, this is one of the craziest things we have ever seen happen in this river.
Here we caught Kelly “El Pelon” Slatter taking one of the best rights of the day. It looks like the LASAGNE is working pretty well on this guy because he’s surfing way better than ever.
We want to leave you with a shot of the stages where we are going to have a big party tonight. Alright folks, don’t drink too much if you want to get some surf tomorrow because there should be some good waves coming through.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was smaller today, but it was cleaner and hitting the sandbar better. So better waves than yesterday even though it was smaller.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. The wind was light, there was still some size, but it was jumbled up out there.
