Somewhere in Nicaragua
What’s up folks? We’ve have Lucha Libre here bringing you a little bit of the action we had on the first day of the Central American Surf Contest at Playa Maderas. The surf was pretty fun the whole day but it was definitely bigger at low tide. It was running about waist to chest high with a couple shoulder high waves every once in a while. Check it out!
To start the day we had the Bodyboarders category, where our good friend Nestor “El Grillito” Aleman was killing in. He defended his home very well and made it into the semifinals for tomorrow.
Then we had the ladies, in this category we have to tell everyone that we do not have any Nicaraguan girl practicing this modality but Rosa and Dunia did their best to get some scores for our team. Here they are sharing some words to the world.
Getting ready for the Open we had Luis Chamorro, Augusto Chamorro, Darwin Jacamo and La Bestia Calderon. We had some of the tightest heats in this category.
“El Cacaste” Florez was getting ready for something else. He was waxing girls all over the beach.
It was so nice to see all the people supporting their teams. This guy might be family of El Macho Nacho. Where are you Lance?
This heat was very tight, there were some amazing surfers showing us why they are here. Carlos Munoz from Costa Rica going big with a cool backside aerial move.
A classic Jimmy Rotherhan’s shot on the beach waving his flag. There was a lot of talent to watch today and it is going to get better tomorrow.
Later on, we drove a little bit to do a surf lesson. Our very own Devin “The Pale Ghost” did his best to do these guys ride some waves.
And he did well. Here is caught one of our new friends with a solid ride all the way in to the beach on the last shot of the day. We’ll be back tomorrow with the final day of the contest, god willing. Peace!

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.

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..
