51-year-old posting here. Long time reader, first time post. I would like to learn to surf before I die. I got back issues, but rock climbing and hiking helps tremendously, so I think surfing would also be great?
January and February is learning to Surf in either Nicaragua or Panama.
I am specifically thinking about.
Playa Venao, Panama – Good if I improve quickly.
Popoyo, Nicaragua -Love the idea of a Beginners Bay.
Nicaragua is obviously cheaper but tougher to navigate.
Panama, more expensive, but thin country. Plus, my grandfather and dad spent some time, so I have always wanted to go.
I would like to spend around 2 to 3K per month, US Dollars, but can spend more if needed.
I would need a decent internet connection.
Any suggestions or advice?
Choose Panama!
A former resident of Nicaragua told me she saw a shark jump out of water onto dry land and grab someone’s dog before going back underwater and eating it.
