Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hello everybody and welcome to the Monday Surf Report from NSR. Today we’ve got super fun waves (again) running about head-high on sets. The winds are offshore, the water is warm and the jellyfish have gone away. We also saw lots of rays jumping, which pretty much doesn’t mean anything, but it was cool to watch in between sets. Check out this line-up shot!
Today our intern “Chewy” was putting on a show – he was ON FIRE picking off some really good waves. Here he is on a perfect little peak all to himself. Does he look lonely?
This is Chewy again, harnessing his speed so he can pull into the barrel section. There were good barrels on most of the waves today. Just look at this little nugget section he’s got!
Chewy’s time with us is coming to an end soon – he has to go back to school in N. Florida in a couple of weeks – so he’s really going for broke in his surfing. Here he is with a monster “Jacksonville Air”! Eat your heart out Mateo!
Chewy wasn’t the only one out there ripping today. DLite made a cameo and blew things up for a few waves as well. Here he is, stalling a late drop into a perfect little bowl. Kinda makes you wish you were right there, huh?
Here’s another shot of DLite in one of his many barrels of the day. If you look closely you can see how bad he feels for losing all of yesterday’s photos.
Pancho was getting some sick waves too. Here he is, slotted on a perfect little one. Loving the orange t-shirt Pancho!
The surfers weren’t the only ones enjoying the ocean today. Check out this cool shot Lucha took of a local fisherman on the rocks. There were plenty of fish in the line-up so hopefully he caught some dinner.
This is our new friend Andrew who is visiting Nicaragua from Georgia. I didn’t know they had surf in Georgia, but Andrew obviously has some skills from somewhere. Nice to meet you man. You’re on NSR!
That’s all for today folks. We’ve got the same thing for the next couple of days and then a new swell on the way for the end of the week. Bring it on back tomorrow!
