Somewhere in Nicaragua
Feliz Lunes! December still dishing out some really fun surf. Check out todays goods that took place around the same time all those people down in South America were gazing at that amazing solar eclipse (haha thats my code for around what time the shooting went down today). Enjoy ~
Just like I was saying to an amigo at the beach yesterday why he wasn’t down at Panga Drops (supposedly it was really really good too) and we both agreed that if you liver here, you know it’s always good to surf PC as long as you can while it’s still firing. Cause “The Drops” is going be the “ONLY GO TO SPOT” pretty soon…. and it’ll be that way for a few months.
So you wanna get it while you still can. Like this dude!
Not knocking PD’s one bit…. we’re actually pretty darn lucky that we have 2 waves all within walking distance that works year round.
Actually the reef can really help you out with your turns like this….
And as a full time photographer here, I know plenty of really epic barrel surfers here, who really need to round out their overall surfing game.
Which has everything to do with how you use your rails. Or in other terms, how good your “Rail Game” is.
Maria definitely using 100% of her rail setting up for what’s to come after she makes this sick little bottom turn.
The other HUGE factoid that’s about to make this time of year a real pain in arse, is when those real Papagayo winds kick in….. and today wasn’t even scratching the surface of how heavy the offshores blow between Jan through March, sometimes even April.
Although I saw Chris surfing almost around the same time last year and he was crushing Pangas on his massive panga (longboard), doing hand stands and pulling into VW bug sized barrels with offshores blowing maybe 30-40 feet out the back. It was pretty NUTS!
Not quite VW size caverns today, but commitment is ALWAYS commitment!!!
For every single one of you personally going through some heavy Sh!t, because we all know someone who’s having a rough time on some degree right now….. This Photo is dedicated to YOU!!!!! YESS YOU!!!!! 🙂
Noon ‘ O’ Clock or somewhere near there, and it’s almuerzo and rehydration time for some paddle power for the evening session. See ya out there, maybe?! ~
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell is probably slightly larger today, but it is also much windier.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey everyone, welcome to the Saturday surf report. It was a hot one down at the beach today and the waves were in the 2-3 foot range with light offshores and nice clear water.
Happy Friday folks! The swell came up a little bit, the water is still incredibly warm and there were only a handful of people out. Just another beautiful day in paradise.
Maybe the forecast was a little off here at Colorado… this wave looks like a 3 footer, or it is just the big curtain created by the offshore?
