Somewhere in Nicaragua
Did you get SHOT in Nicaragua today? Click on the above image to find out.
First thing of the day we want to post this amazing photo of the sunrise this morning. We usually have killer sunset photos to end the day but today we want to start it with this sunrise shot.
Welcome everybody to the Monday surf report. This is Lucha Libre bringing you the action with my new friends from Jacksomeville Fl, so today we went up north to take a couple photos but the surfing conditions were not that good. Anyway we gave it a try and scored a few fun ones. It was chest high with some occasional shoulder high sets coming through, with light ON SHORE wind in the morning and a little bit stronger at noon. Check out what we had today.
On the first surfing shot of the day we have Mike C getting one of the few shacks of the day. He was really stoked to be out there in the right spot to catch this wave and explore the feeling of being in there.
How about Greg “The ripper guy of the crew” C, he was destroying every single wave he caught today. Check him out on this left with a sick slash. We got a bunch of shots of some other people out there today too. Click on the image above to see if we shot you!
He was kind of aggressive out there with the wave, but the waves were doing their things as well “I mean the reef”. Check out this shot and you will get it.
Alright folks, that’s all for today. We hope this guy can get a medallion on the next Olympic Games with this new category “El Salto de la Yuca”. The surf it is supposed to be about the same tomorrow but hopefully we are going to have a new swell in the water on Wednesday with perfect wind conditions, god willing.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi there, it´s ¨Lucha Libre¨here with the saturday surf report. Today we have one of the best swell we´ve had during this year and Nicaragua is going XXL. We have solid triple overhead on sets and the wind is perfect offshore! We’ve even got Corey Lopez and Chris Ward in town for this swell, but..
A mere 4 weeks later, we finally pulled up at the SJDS pad in Nicaragua. Wow, what a trip! There was a welcome crew at the entrance to town and we were escorted straight to a private party for Rum Drinks and appetizers. Man, it’s great to be back – with plenty of surf ahead..
