new riding spots

I was in Central America recently on a surf trip when I stumbled upon Lake Nicaragua. As I was passing the southern tip of the lake in a taxi we came upon a windmill farm catching side on shore winds. I motioned for the taxi driver to stop so I could get out and check the conditions. It was all farm land with a small but workable beach. The water was choppy but the wind is strong and consistant. I continued on to the town of San Juan del Sur where I heard there was cheap hostels and a good nightlife. San Juan is known as "the surf town" of Nicaragua. It's a really cool little place with plenty of ex-pats who have a healthy social life and passing through tourists who have a hard time leaving. I spent a week walking around meeting people and asking if anyone was kitesurfing in the area. If the person even knew what I was talking about then I got the answer "there was a guy a few years ago who was doing it but is gone now".
