Why Nicaragua?
Nicaragua offers some of the most consistent and powerful waves in Central America — and the stretch between Playa Colorados and Panga Drops is the perfect arena for serious surf progression.
You’ll be staying just steps from two world-class surf spots:
🌊 Playa Colorados – A fast, hollow beach break that's ideal for learning how to pull into your first barrel or perfect your barrel technique. With offshore winds almost all day and warm tropical water, it’s one of the best places in the world to train tube-riding with consistency.
🏄 Panga Drops – A deep-water reef that serves up long, playful waves and open faces — perfect for working on maneuvers like carves, snaps, and cutbacks. Ideal for both performance training and more relaxed sessions.
The combination of these two waves gives you a rare chance to develop both technical skill and wave judgment — all within walking distance from your room.
This is not just a surf holiday. It’s a high-level training experience in a remote, uncrowded, and wildly beautiful part of the world.
Between sessions, relax in a lush garden, analyze your footage by the pool, and soak up the surf-focused rhythm of life.
