Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Josh bringing you Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. I hope y’all had a great Christmas!
There weren’t many willing participants this morning despite the perfect wind, so I called up our resident “Top Gun”.
That’s right, it’s my brother’s alter-ego: Juan Cruz!
Juan made light work and mince-meat of the small, but perfect little Panga Drops walls. Flying across the first section with speed, then torquing through a smooth roundhouse.
There were less than five people out while I was shooting… Holiday hangovers seem to be thinning out the lineups in the mornings XD
Low, toes, twist! I know a few of the kids we’ve been teaching over the past week are probably tired of hearing those three words XD John practicing what he preaches this AM.
Classic Panga Drops roundhouses. John riding the ultimate surfboard for small waves, the Wavestorm.
Juan Cruz or Andy Irons? I can’t tell on this effortless takeoff.
If I can be slightly critical, I think John got a bit far out of the pocket here. You can see he’s having to nurse his speed carefully back into the pocket.
Pipeline? Nah, that’s the Costa Mar sand-shelf with the hourly one-wave perfect tube.
Wavestorm, first in fun!
Watchout! Juan spraying some buckets on his last leg-burner of the morning session.
That wraps up today’s surf action. The water clarity was amazing this morning, so Hunter managed to sneak out and snag a triggerfish (in front of his left thigh if you zoom in). Work today to eat tomorrow? Or the early bird gets the worm? Pick your proverb haha. Either way the conditions were small, but beautiful today. Tomorrow’s forecast looks similar, so be sure to stop in and see what action Mr. Tony Zeta brings us.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The small “gap” days are here! Funnily enough there were still some mini-drainers at Colorados this Wednesday morning.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome back for more amazing swell or what I’m declaring as our “Holiday Swell”. Today was even bigger, like it was legit bigger, but the late afternoon brought some pretty good rains with it. However, the offshores kept coming and you all know what happens after a good dumping of rain down here…..?!?! 🙂
Hola amigos! Welcome to the Monday surf report. It was an amazingly lit late afternoon session. Waves were in the waist to chest high range and the water is getting a little cooler now, but there are still people out there slip sliding away without any neoprene, yet. Check out todays fun in the late..
Howdy Sunday folks! A pretty chill and mellow day down at the playa today. Still some fun swell in the water at Colorados, but unless we see some more energy coming from down south… it might be close to that time of year (or end of the year) more like when we transition over to..
