Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola, hola! Friday surf report coming your way from Panga Drops in the evening again. A little less wind and a little more size made for some fun waves this evening.
Shane cruising on an extra beefy board on a nice French Fry right. He nearly could’ve tucked in for a quick head dip here.
Kelsey show-casing some stylish, compact ninja form on this rare left-hander at French Fries.
Gabby is visiting for a little bit and crushed it for her first time on a board in quite some time. She even whipped out a double hand drag here!
John finding the landing of his shove-it entry. He’s a specialist at this move.
Dario showcasing his extraordinary long-board style and skills. One of the few cases where I can say counter-rotating added points to this wave.
The little charger from the past few days was out once again nabbing some overhead sets (for him haha).
Rutci carving it up on rail. She chose to ride a twin-fin today, a good choice for small Pangas / French Fries.
It’s a game of chicken haha! Who’s gonna budge first? The little guy is smart though as he is paying close attention the relevant “risk factor” on this ride, i.e. the inbound section.
Rutci on one of the bigger set waves of the evening. It was nice to see some extra size and steepness making shorter gear feasible today.
G-rant with the turn of the day once again at his zone of excellence, French Fries. He’s got his spray displacement dialed on these frontside carves.
Gabby managed to find a head high wave at the Costa Mar peak as well. She’s got her vision correct here, where you look is where you go!
Dan-o even managed to get a lengthy little left runner this evening. I was glad he got out for a couple waves this evening.
Ahhh Gabby, we gotta fix your vision on this one though. Maybe she got distracted by Dan talking to Bertie on the beach. Gabby isn’t a fan of lefts, so I was impressed with her willingness to commit on some of these shoulder to head high sets.
Another solid sunset session from Pangas. High tide Pangas is old faithful and ever reliable. The Springfield crew ran the show this evening, but get out there tomorrow evening for your shot at surf report fame haha!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey there everyone back here with another surf report and another great week to be working for NSR and just living a great life down here in Nicaragua.
Hola & Happy Hump Day! That’s right, we’ve hit that mid week point and our ever extraño and loco months that continue with rain when there’s usually no rain and sunny days when it should be raining cats and dogs… well my hopes and wishes for Playa Colorado to still be working by New years,..
It’s that time again, for another round of Tuesday surf happenings at one of your favorite surf breaks. Todays waves were in the small range and the bit of swell we had (which was really nice for December) dropped off quite a bit; but it was still fun as always. Check it out!
