Somewhere in Nicaragua

Here is a pretty cool shot of the first line up we surfed today. The waves were pretty fun but it just wasn’t really doing its thing. We surfed here for  the morning then we went and scored some better waves at a different spot.

Pancho Sanchez was out there all morning getting a bunch of waves.  He was kind of bummed that Outer Reef was not working, so he was trying to get the biggest waves of the day. Here he goes of one of them now.

Today we had a John Lier spotting in the water. This guy always rents the NSR house for a long time and scores some really good waves. This is John doing just that cruising on a fun right.

This is our new friend Augusto from Miami who was charging today. Augusto and his buddies went out there and were stoked to get waves that are nothing like back home. We would like to welcome you guys to Nicaragua and we hope you guys have a great time.

The next shot is of an unknown rider bottom turning on a solid right. As you can see even when this wave isn’t working it is still really fun.

We had a rare long board sighting today. This guy was really getting a ton of waves and tearing them apart. Here he is on the inside with a sick off the lip.

Here is the last shot of the morning session with an unknown rider doing a sweet snap. He was having a great time out there getting a bunch of fun waves.

Here is a perfect lone wave rolling through the second spot with no one on it. There was a ton of waves that rolled through with no takers because people get a little sketched out because this place breaks pretty shallow.

Here is our new friend Darian riding across a pretty good sized left. She is down here filming a television show about traveling in Central America and NSR is helping her find her way around Nicaragua.

Armando “Codo” Lopez went out there today and was taking off on all the biggest waves. Here he is resorting to a smaller one to sneak through a little barrel section.

Pledge was out there as well this afternoon getting some fun waves. Here he decided to get a shade in this speedy barrel section.

Here is an unknown rider who paddled out dry, not surfing in three weeks, takes off on a heavy nugget and just sticks the landing! Pretty sick.

This is a shot from the evening session. We got Pancho “Jefe” Sanchez in the background, and then in front we have his protégé, “Pledge”.  This was the sickest session of the day, just because there were only three of us out there.

The last shot of the day “Lucha Libre” captured this sweet backwash/ sunset shot. Well the swell is going be bigger tomorrow so should have a lot more sick pictures. So check back!
