Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everybody, we’ve got the NSR family bringing all the action for the Sunday surf report. Today we are stoked because we have a much anticipated new swell in the water. This one looked so good on the forecast – 8′ at 18 sec – that we decided to go all out. We hooked up a killer Jet Ski from our friends at Beach Front Rentals here in SJDS and we lined up the boat. Everything was all set to go, but the swell didn’t quite show up as big as we thought it would be. It was still a super fun day though and we got to mess around at different spots on the ski.
Here’s a cool shot of Pancho, whipping into a small one. You have so much speed coming off the ski you actually slow down to catch the wave and then the wave feels slow. While it’s easy to catch 50 waves an hour like this, it sure takes a toll on your body!
Since we had the boat and the ski, we were able to bounce around between some different spots today. The biggest challenge was trying to find places where we could take some good photos. This is one spot where we could. Here is our very own D-lite working on a nice left hander.
Admittedly, it’s more fun to be towed into waves than it is to drive the ski but you wouldn’t know it by looking at Carlos Caliente in this shot. Damn, that looks pretty fun right there!
Here is Pancho, on another long, mushy one. That’s all we really found today at this spot, but it was still pretty fun.
Later on, we put the ski away and decided to paddle into a few. Check out Carlos Calientito setting up for the barrel section on a nice looking left. It looks pretty nice from the boat.
Another cool way to do it is to come right at the wave and cutback into the face.
It is hard to tell who is getting eaten by this one, uh. This guy barely made this one and was able to get a bunch of other fun ones.
Here we have another unknown rider picking up another nice looking left. It was fun to share this beautiful spot with only a few guys out today.
Well, mother nature didn’t provide us with the giant barrels we were hoping for today. That’s OK, we had a blast anyway. Special thanks to the Steve and Sally at Beach Front Rentals in SJDS for renting us this killer Yamaha 3 seater. We’ll definitely be doing this again the next time the waves get big!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.

Today we went looking for some waves and we found a beach with not much swell but a beautiful view of the southern coast. As you can see we didn’t find many waves in the water. Let’s see what else we got going on in town.
