Before we get going on today’s surf report, we want to take a moment to say goodbye to our 2009 Summer Intern- Jeremiah “Chewy” Matthews.  After 4 months with the NSR crew, it’s finally time to head back to school (man, that went by FAST!).  Chewy came to us in May and spent his summer working and surfing with NSR.  When he arrived, he was pale and somewhat out of shape and he fell down a lot.  When he left, he was a formidable specimen of bronzed, twisted steel who had mastered the “Jacksonville cutback” and the “backside Pigdog”.  He rocked the graphics design part of his job and delivered some outstanding work including: New Maps, T-Shirt Designs, Web work, Printed Binders, photos and much more.  What we didn’t expect were the intangibles he brought to the table – an eagerness to learn, a willingness to do almost anything and unwaivering optimism about even the most trivial things (like the polynesian sauce from Chic-fil-a).  As it turned out, he was also an excellent cook and an amazing musician.  I once witnessed him learn to play a Coldplay song by listening to it 3 times.  He’s got an album coming out soon and I strongly recommend everybody to check it out.Chewy, it was a true pleasure to have you down this summer.  You will most definitely be missed and you will always be welcome back.  Thanks for everything, keep in touch and have fun showing off your new barrel skills in the Hurricane Bill swell!

Hi fellas, welcome to the Sunday surf report from.  We are the NSR family bringing you all the action straight to your computers, no matter where you at.  The waves were well over head on sets but very inconsistent and the wind was messing around, turning from offshore to side shore the whole day but we still scored some fun waves.  Check it out!!!

Miguel got hired by a few guys staying at the NSR House.  They were super stoked because they knew that they were going to make it on the daily surf report.  This is Brian about to throw the lip of the back on this right.

Tony has been out of the action for a while but today he was able to make it out.  Here he is trying to get some speed to make it around this one.

There were some other surfers out, ripping all over the place.  This is Chapin from Gigante with a sick frontside turn.

The Captain Moss and a couple friends were taking some big barrels during the morning sesh.  Here we have a cool shot of this guy smiling for the camera.  That one might came out good, uh!

The locals were doing their thing as this spot.  Check out Mario “El Danino” Martinez attacking the lip of this poor wave.

Jamil “El Enano” from Popoyo was killing the barrels at the wedge.  If you would put a bus inside that thing it would also make it out.  Don’t you think so?

Hi folks, this is Lucha Libre bringing you the action of the Saturday surf report.  Today we headed out to Maderas with a couple locals that wanted to surf in the morning.  The swell dropped down a lot but there were still some waves to ride.  It was chest high on sets, with off shore..

It’s times like these when we take advantage of the other things Nicaragua has to offer. Onshore wind may mess up the surf, but it also brings up the FISH. The Surfari Charters crew went out this week and slayed the Mackerel and Wahoo. This is Capt. “I like catchin’ Big Waves and Big Fish”..

This just in from somewhere up north near Mr. Brown’s beach house – today is the second day of carnage out on the reef. The surf has been small so we’ve been taking it out on the fish. Check out this thing I got today (do you see those lips?) – a legit 15 –..
