Somewhere in Nicaragua
OK, so we’ve got some killer water shots sent in by Brent at Arena Caliente. We are taking a vacation this week (read: we are not in Nicaragua), but we hope to have plenty of pictures and reports sent in from our affiliates. Thanks Brent! We’ve got chest to head high sets today at Maderas and offshore winds all day long. Here is Gerardo learning how to surf with camera men in the water.
And we can’t tell who this is, but it was a nice shot. In other more disturbing news, our main photographer Roberto was attacked by a monkey on the way to the beach yesterday. No shit. He got pretty scratched up on his arms and leg and went to a doctor today to be treated for rabies. All I received was a cryptic email in spanish so I’m not sure how it all went down. This country is crazy sometimes. Roberto, send me an email and let me know how you are doing.
This just in, more pictures from Roberto. He still hasn’t given me the details about the monkey attack, but I guess he’s ok since he’s still taking pictures.
This always happens when I go out of town…
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
