There’s always a lot of stuff going on in the background around this place. Good thing I only have a surf report to do and not a day in or of the nightlife of this place….. I don’t think I’d never stop working!

I’ll still never loving watching this any day of the week. No matter if it’s work, or play.

Good thing for him that I stayed just a little while longer. He got some pretty sick little waves…. and he made the NSR surf report in doing so!

As you all know, I like to plug little things here and there around here, but this is on more of a serious but absolutely much needed acknowledgment on so many levels! For those who are not familiar with the beaches around here and the pretty recent happenings with the very valiant efforts being made possible by Nica Heartbeat and many other wonderfully helpful people around here, here’s a quick l shoutout to the people who make this place one of if not the safest beaches in all of Nicaragua. Kudos to Carlos, Lesther and Oscar for their recent rescues and everyone else who is making it possible to even have lifesaving capabilities at one of the best beaches here on the Emerald Coast.

Here is an update @Semana Santa and our Beach Patrol. It was recently reported that Semana Santa had 23 deaths by drowning in Nicaragua. I’m very happy to report none of those were at Hacienda Iguana Beach. Our Beach Patrol stayed extremely busy the entire week! Our stats are the following:

Preventative calls*- 10 warnings Near drownings/rescues^- 4 lives Moving and placing red, rip current flags-all day as our rips can change location. *A preventative call is a warning to people entering a rip current zone and then suggesting a better place to swim. ^A near drowning were people caught in a rip no longer able to swim in on their own. Equipment used for rescue. While we are not lifeguards yet, I’m extremely proud of our boys and their dedication to making our beaches safer. Having them and Dra Jackeline Karolina Toribio is making our community one of the safest to live or visit!
