<blockquote><p><big>“<em>Shall we surf Yankee or Madera, Colorado or Panga Drops</em>?”</big></p></blockquote>
<p>Surfers in Nicaragua are spoiled.  You&#8217;ll find consistent lefts, barreling rights, peeling point breaks and hollow A-frame peaks to suit all levels of surfer.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, the waves are uncrowded and the water is warm &#8211; what more could a surfer want?</p>
<p>Part of what makes surfing so special is the wind which blows offshore at least 300 days a year.</p>
<h2>Surfing in Nicaragua with a tailored surf package</h2>
<p>We’ve put together surf packages run by expert surfers who know the best breaks in Nicaragua.   We can also combine a surf trip with other activities, such as sailing, canopy tours, yoga and community outreach.</p>
<p>Just tell us your interests, and we’ll design a tailored <a title="Surf Nicaragua" href="http://www.cbnicaragua.com/nicaragua-surf.htm" target="_blank">Surf Nicaragua</a> package just for you.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just when everyone seemed to think that the Pellas Group was going to land-bank the property at <a title="Nicaragua real estate at Guacalito" href="http://www.cbnicaragua.com/buy_details.php?id=b002">Guacalito</a> until sometime around 2011, it was announced in <a title="La Prensa article on Guacalito (in Spanish)" href="http://www-usa.laprensa.com.ni/archivo/2007/agosto/25/noticias/economia/211564.shtml">La Prensa</a>, one of Nicaragua&#8217;s major Spanish languange newspapers, that they are going forward with a $350m development.</p>
<p>I suspected something might be afoot as I was recently there and saw a jet-ranger helicopter departing. I chatted a bit with security personnel who were on-site at the time in an effort to learn who the visitors were. The guard had never seen any of them before with the exception of the person who was appointed to manage the land for the time being.</p>
<p>Needless to say, there was a reason a very expensive helicopter arrived with 6 passengers. I think we now know the reason. There are a few lots for sale there at the time which I think are a bargain at the moment.</p>
<p>Guacalito also features on our <a title="Nicaragua Surf" href="http://www.cbnicaragua.com/nicaragua-surf.htm" target="_blank">Nicaragua Surf</a> Vacation tours.  The reason: It&#8217;s got a great barreling left that breaks off a point on the north of Manzanillo beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Investors and visitors who look for beaches with breathtaking beauty are attracted to Iguana</strong></p>
<p>We are pleased to announce an opportunity for true pristine beachfront &#8211; a 1 acre property where you can step right onto the sand of one of Nicaragua&#8217;s finest beaches.  A completed golf course; the Colorado surf break -the most famous in the country- flaming red sunsets and access to all the amenities at Hacienda Iguana beach resort complete the picture perfectly.</p>

<p><strong>Beaches, surfing and golf &#8211; a magnetic combination</strong></p>
<p>Beachfront property in Nicaragua has shown to appreciate at a faster rate than ocean-view property.  Combine this with some of the best surfing on the planet; the fastest growing real estate development in the country and a completed golf course &#8230; the result &#8211; a great investment option and lifestyle buy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nicaragua has been hosting surf contests for several years. Begun by Tom Eberley of Eberley surfboards, continued by local surfer Javier Baldovines, and now organized by Ricardo Morales, of Sands Surf Shop, the surf contests in Nicaragua are being taken to a whole new level. In 2006, I had the pleasure of representing Nicaragua womens surfing in an international event held in Esterillos, Costa Rica. Following the event, Ricardo Morales began organizing the first National Circuit for surf contests in Nicaragua, with the goal to compete internationally after this year&#8217;s first circuit. This years International Central American event is schedule to be help in Guatemala and will follow the same format as last year&#8217;s tournament in Costa Rica.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbnicaragua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/ashley_surfs.jpg" alt="Ashley" hspace="10" align="left" />In each event there have been numerous advertisers/sponsors who help out with the event to make each contest possible. News of this last event in La Boquita was on the front page of La Prensa, El Nuevo Diaro sports page, and on the local and national radio stations as well. The event brochures and posters are distributed throughout Managua, San Juan del Sur, Rivas and all along the Coast. Surfing is quickly becoming one of the most popular sports in the country&#8230; <a href="http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2007/01/29/deportes/39980">Click here to view the article</a></p>
<p>The first event of the National Circuit was held at Playa Maderas, quite possibly Nicaragua&#8217;s most popular surfing beach. The second event was held in La Boquita. The next event is scheduled for March 10 and 11th and is located in Las Penitas, just outside of Leon. After that we take the games to Playa Santana, and the final event is scheduled to occur in Popoyo. We are very excited to see this sport gain national recognition in Nicaragua.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt Higgins, reporter with the New York Times, recently wrote on the new image of surfing: how it&#8217;s changing from its previous beach bumb image to being seen as high-end upscale sport. As more professionals take up the sport, surfing provides more than just physical and mental benefit: now you can surf and discover networking opportunities at the same time.</p>
<p>For $10,000 a day, you can have the ultimate surfing sojourn in Indonesia aboard the 110-foot Indies Trader IV, a sort of floating hotel with 15 cabins, a helipad and three-course meals with wine. A motorized tender takes you to the waves. Or for a daily rate, in addition to the cost of his airfare, Brad Gerlach will give private instruction to select clients anywhere in the world. Mr. Gerlach, who was ranked No. 1 on surfing&#8217;s world professional tour during the 1986 and 1991 seasons, termed the cost not cheap at all.</p>
<p>Surfing, once the sport of Hawaiian kings, has come full circle. After becoming a counterculture activity for beach bums and bohemians, it has emerged as a status sport, like skiing and golf.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s sort of lost that dirtbag appeal&#8221; said Isabelle Tihanyi, who with her twin, Caroline, started Surf Diva, a school based in La Jolla, Calif., that caters mostly to women, a growing segment of surfers. &#8220;Now you see more yuppies in the water with a brand-new board and a brand-new S.U.V. and all the latest technical gear. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/11/sports/othersports/11surf.html?ex=1171947600&amp;en=b0269ebca698dede&amp;ei=5070">click here to read full article.</a></p>
