Somewhere in Nicaragua
Welcome to the Thursday surf report. This is Roberto “Lucha LIbre”, Jairo “Come Pan” Panic, and Mateo “Pledge” bringing you the action from the beach today. The swell was showing up really good and there were a lot of fun waves rolling through. It was overhead, with offshore wind, and a little overcast. A lot of people were out there getting a bunch of fun waves and therefore a bunch of good pictures as well. Check it out!
There were a lot of people surfing, so we did not get to meet everyone. So this is an unknown rider scoring some really good waves today taking off on a killer left. Sick shot bro!
Armando “Codo” Lopez was wanting to get some more barrels like the other day so he went out there and was charging. Here he is about to snag another shack, but this time on a pretty fun looking left.
This is our buddy Jeff “El Mujeriego” Barden from Florida. He was out there just killing it like always. Here he is with solid positioning on this sweet right. Ladies he may be “El Mujeriego”, but we have heard he is sweet like a lollipop.
Our really good friend Oliver “El Monito” decided to paddle out and just blow up on a few waves like he is doing right here! “El Monito” was pretty bummed last week when the reef wasn’t breaking, so to get his fix he went bull riding! Yeah, he’s an animal!
Luis “La Baloy” was out there just dominating in the water getting all kinds of waves doing all kinds of maneuvers. Here he is pulling into a right that is just flaring open waiting for him to pass through it! He was looking really strong and determined for the contest this weekend.
“La Baloy”, hacking it!
“La Baloy” going for some flight time here. Alright bro good luck with contest this weekend, we’ll be there rooting!
We had a special guest in the water today. This is George who own Surf Central in Jenson Beach, Florida. It was sweet surfing with you today; we hope you enjoy your stay here in Nicaragua.
This is Mateo “EL Cable Pelado” about to get worked by Jairo. He learned a valuable lesson today. You should never steal Jairo’s beer unless you want him to come at you like a rapid puma!
“Pledge” has been scoring some real good waves lately. He did want this last session to break the pattern so he caught this sweet right and pulled into this little shack.
Our friend Allan “La Prenda” was out there today with some interesting strategies. Here is Super Gallo flapping his wings about to take off mid face! “BA-KAWWW!!!!”
The last shot of the day we have a sweet photo of an empty right. There was a lot of fun waves out there today and tomorrow should be just as good. We are all getting real excited about the Santana Surf Contest this weekend. So be sure to stay tuned in for the news from the contest. Later!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
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.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
On behalf of our friends at The Surf Sanctuary we are giving the NSR community the chance to change a baby girl’s life. A long time employee at the Surf Sanctuary camp, Abel, has a 7-month-old baby girl named Maria Anjelica. She was born with a severe cleft pallet. She did not make this year’s..
Oh No! What is that?!! It can’t be…no, wait…it is, IT’S the DIRTY SANCHEZ and she’s back in the water! Needless to say we’re pretty stoked to have the Dirty back in action. We took her out for a test run today and everything checked out cool. It’s on now. Special thanks to Carlos up..
FINALLY!!!! OFFSHORES RETURN TO NICARAGUA. After mild onshores in the morning, the offshores returned to groom the overhead swell into the first barrels we’ve seen in almost a month! Luis in the house.
