Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, December 27, 2023

Josh S

Hi everyone! Josh bringing you Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. I hope y’all had a great Christmas!

Josh S

There weren’t many willing participants this morning despite the perfect wind, so I called up our resident “Top Gun”.

Josh S

That’s right, it’s my brother’s alter-ego: Juan Cruz!

Josh S

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.

Josh S

There were less than five people out while I was shooting… Holiday hangovers seem to be thinning out the lineups in the mornings XD

Josh S

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.

Josh S

Classic Panga Drops roundhouses. John riding the ultimate surfboard for small waves, the Wavestorm.

Josh S

Juan Cruz or Andy Irons? I can’t tell on this effortless takeoff.

Josh S

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.

Josh S

Pipeline? Nah, that’s the Costa Mar sand-shelf with the hourly one-wave perfect tube.

Josh S

Wavestorm, first in fun!

Josh S

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.
