The Endless Supper
Drift Surfing presents the latest project from HEAP/Planet Blow Productions, in partnership with RRD & Nahskwell – a SUP trip in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Tranquilo
I recently met a sports journalist from Montana, Mike, while on my last Nicaraguan adventure. I felt extremely proud because he already knew of my blog! Being new to this story-telling, movie-making and photography-taking world, I jumped on the occasion to ask him for the magic ingredients to a good story.
Puerto Sandino, as good as it gets
I have been trying to write a story about this little piece of paradise for two hours… it’s not easy! Everything I start to write sounds clichéd and predictable. It’s hard to share the feelings of traveling to a dream place, a cliché in itself – or to concentrate when you have perfect left handers pealing in front of you.
Colorado. Barrels in Nicaragua
Surprises can be good or bad. This one was above expectations. Since my trip was a bit of a last minute decision, I didn’t really do much research about surf spots in Central and South America, I just checked that I would get to each country during the right season – or close to it.

Mana-Gwa, Nica-Ragwa with a Jag-wa
The trouble with these remote-access Central American point breaks is that you can’t take a camera. To get to Lance’s Left near El Astillero, Nicaragua we took a bone-rattling ride in Johnny’s pint-sized hire-car to the fishing village. We then walked north up the beach for half an hour, fording rivers and scrambling over high-tide storm debris until we reached the headland which forms the point-break. We then had to inch our way around the rocky headland, making a run for it between sets to avoid being dashed upon the rocks before finally reaching the paddle-out spot.
