Somewhere in Nicaragua
Oh no, here we go again with onshore winds. Man, we’ll be glad when hurricane season is finally over. We’ve got a fun sized swell running today, but the conditions aren’t so good. This is Playa Santana.
We caught some fun ones, all things considered, but the real name of the game today was “Fiesta”. Yes, today Mr. Brown celebrated his 35th with a shindig fit for a king. Here is the fam.
No detail was left unplanned for this occasion – this is 30 lbs of wahoo steaks from Lance’s and Jeff’s catch yesterday. Thanks Lance and Jeff!
Plenty of drinks were had with the open bar – Here is the recipe for a Nica Especial, the drink of choice for Mr. Brown.
Happy Birthday was sung twice – once in Canadian…
…and again in Spanish (at least I think it was Happy Birthday) Check out the Birthday Cake, complete with 35 candles!
And the party went on until the wee hours of the night and climaxed with a 30 minute display of fireworks (you see, there are advantages to being close with communist China)
Mr. Brown has a lot to be happy about this year having convinced his wife and two children to make the move to Nicaragua so he could surf everyday. Congrats Mr. Brown, you are a hero to us all – We’re looking forward to the repeat next year!
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hello and Happy 1st Sunday of the New Year. The swell is still providing. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
