Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, December 01, 2023

Josh S

Friday surf report coming your way from Panga Drops! Josh here for the next couple of days. The waves were pretty fun this morning! Playful size and decent wind.

Josh S

Mike got a handful of solid set waves this morning. This right shaped up nicely through the inside.

Lenin from Rancho Santana was out blasting some lips and hacking up wave faces. He ripped the hardest this morning.

Josh S

Surf’s up haha! There were a few beginners and bodyboarders on foam equipment enjoying the softer waves up the beach.

Josh S

Turn, then stand? I’ve ALWAYS considered it more advantageous to stand THEN turn. More freedom from one’s feet.

Josh S

This older gentleman displayed smooth style on his waves today. He faded the takeoff by dropping to the right, then drove through a bottom turn to the left.

Josh S

Mike showcased a textbook bottom turn here. He’s strong over his back foot and you can see his left elbow pulling back with his eyes up the face on target.

Josh S

The rights are usually better than the lefts at Pangas, but this left continued all the way to the shore for Mike.

Jack See working on his superman pose. :)

When sets come through at Pangas it’s easy for everyone to get washed close together. Usually everything is fine and everyone keeps a safe distance from each other, but sometimes I wonder if we need to put a traffic light out there haha.

Lenin driving through a strong drawn-out roundhouse cutback.

Josh S

Pangas is the ultimate wave to perfect your roundhouses.

Josh S

I’m always amazed at how some of the better local surfers, like Lenin, maintain and generate so much speed on their shortboards. Although Pangas has size, it’s a very fat and soft wave.

Josh S

On the inside Lenin blew the back off this one to seal an excellent ride. I wouldn’t want to face him in a heat at Pangas, he’s got it wired.

Josh S

Thanks for stopping by and scoping out today’s surf action. It’s been great conditions for beginners and intermediates lately, and I expect the favorable conditions to persist for most of this month. Hasta mañana!
