JJ Yemma moved to Nicaragua as an 18 year old back in 1998 in search of surf. 10 years later JJ found the waves he sought after, but along the way developed a love for the people of Nicaragua and a passion to serve. As the founder of Popoyo Surf Lodge, JJ affords more time in the water than most pro's and can probably out surf most of them too.
However, more impressive than JJ's raw talent and explosive surfing is his humble persona and evidence of a life lived not for himself...
Nice to see a true positive vibe and a guy that wants and does pay it back...good on you JJ. I hope to visit one day,

I just met JJ a few weeks ago while he was back home in Florida we surfed a fairly decent day at 2nd light and he is a really good guy so mellow and positive with a great vibe, thanks for inviting me to the camp JJ and hopefuly i"ll be able to make it soon, Javy from PR!

ive gone to nica 3 times for a total of over 40 days, every time its just a mind blowing trip. the waves are epic, the atmosphere is peaceful, landscapes are gorgeous, and the experience is so humbling. i wish i had the opportunity to return this summer, money well spent for once in a lifetime trip.
PS the waves are amazing
