Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everybody, we are the NSR family bringing you the Halloween surf report. Today we went to Playa Madera to catch a couple of fun waves and then we got back to town and hang out for a while at the Happy House. It was running about waist to chest high on sets and the wind was offshore. We are starting to feel the new swell that is heading our way this weekend and hopefully we’ll score some good waves. Check it out!!!
We had lots of people out today and many beginners trying to learn how to surf. This is “La Meduza” riding a nice looking left all the way in to the beach.
Later on we decided to get some dinner and a couple of drinks at the Happy House. We had a sick Fish BBQ. Everybody was dressing up with some interesting costumes, but we didn’t have many girls staying at the hostel so a few of the guys realized that they could be chicks for a day.
Codo is missing his girlfriend “La Chompipita” a lot and tonight he thought this guy looked like her. We don’t know if he had too many drinks or if he really thought that it was her. Anyway here we have a shot of them enjoying the Halloween party.
RECENT REPORTS
Hola amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The tide was a bit lower by the time I got around to shooting today, so there was more action at mid-peak than the side-peaks. The wind was stronger today, but it was a little bigger today too.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops, once again we’re talking French Fries. The waves were smaller today, but the shape was arguably slightly better than yesterday. The wind was also a touch lighter.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for next set of days. Monday’s surf report is coming your way from Panga Drops, specifically “French Fries”. The swell was close to non-existent, but Pangas did its magic and magnified the lackluster size into something playful and shreddable.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
And the good press continues for Nicaragua! San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua was just voted #5 in the top places to live and surf on the PLANET by TransWorld Surf Magazine. There’s a great little write-up on SJDS inside by Kyla Langdon who visited us last year. We’re not sure if it’s all true or..
We’ve got Roberto with the surf report for today. We still have fun swell out here at Maderas. It’s head high on sets and the wind is light offshore. We got there early in the morning and almost nobody was out. Check it out.
We woke up early this morning and headed to Maderas to check the surf. Unfortunately, when we got there we found sloppy, chest high waves and onshore winds. Not again!
