Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everybody, this is Miguel bringing you all the action for this Sunday surf report. Today we went to the beach in the morning to score a few good waves. When we got there, we were stoked to see the new N. swell we had been expecting is already starting to show. The waves were a consistent chest to head-high and there were glimmers of hope with some overhead sets! If you can believe it, this is the same swell that rocked Hawaii about 4 days ago. Check it out!
Here we have one of the many international surfers that we had out there. The long interval swell also makes for some nice hollow sections. This is Tadeo from Venezuela he is riding on this beautiful a little barrel.
Out there a lot people in the lineup trying to get a couple good waves. This is Agustin from Canada, he’s going right when he should be going left (or maybe even straight on this one!)
Today we had a couple people in the water used a few boogie. On this shot we have this unknown surfer riding this small but fun sweet nugget. Check out the intensity on his face!
Here we have Luis “La Baloy” Chamorro busting a big air. Luis was getting lots of airtime today and especially enjoyed the added punch of today’s waves.
On this shot we have Augusto “La Gaviota” Chamorro. He is also a fan of the right-handers and was catching the best set waves of the day. Remember to stretch out before you go surfing!
Maderas Style Tip #1 – So what you do is first you put your back knee down, lean slightly forward and into the wave keeping your head over your front knee, drag your inside hand in the wave (this not only looks cool, you can use it to adjust your speed in case you get going to fast) and finally, wrap your outside arm around your back and try to touch your opposite elbow. This is David from Philly, showing you exactly how to do it!
On the last shot of the day we have another unknown surfer having a good time and showing his ability. Look at him walking in the nose of the board. You can almost here him saying “Let’s go surfin’ now, everybody’s learnin’ how….”Alright folks this is all for today. This N swell is supposed to peak sometime tomorrow so check back with us as we go looking for some waves!
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
We want to introduce two new local surfers that were out today trying to catch some waves. They were part of the crew that was learning how to surf in the last NSR beach day we had the last weekend. This is Humberto “El Mechas” taking a sweet left.
We’ve got Roberto “Lucha Libre” Garcia with the surf report. Today we headed up to Maderas and found some fun waves, it’s chest high on sets, the wind is strong offshore and the water is chilly. Check it out.
This is Roberto
