Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey boys, this is Lucha Libre Garcia with a quick update from Playa Hermosa with the Quiksilver Pitayas Surf Contest. The waves were super fun today, running about chest to head high on the bigger sets, the winds were nice offshore and the water was cold.
Tons of surfers from all over the world made it to the beach and they all had a blast. We got the contest going with the open category at first point. Darwin El Brujo Jacamo from Limon with a sick backside floater.
The boys were really having a good time out there, shredding on every wave they caught. Jerson El Botetas Ramos is caught on this one with a nice frontside turn.
El Mope Miranda was also showing us his skills in this contest. He got one of the better combinations in the first round and he was working hard in the second round. Cool floater on his backside!
A few surfers were not worried about the contest. They were watching all the beautiful ladies we had up and down the beach. Larry enjoying the view!!!
The day kept going, the tide started pushing in and the waves were getting better every minute. Check out the scene we had out front where the contest was on!
The waves were firing down the beach as well, and everyone that was not part of the contest was blessing every wave that came in. Woooooo, Can it get better than that?
The longboarders were doing their thing as well. Pedro El Cacaste Florez going big with a sick backside floater.
Norwin El Chulin Estrella wasn’t too lucky in the open category but he was killing it in the longboard’s. Here he is caught charging on this nice sized set.
As everyone knows, this category is always dominated by our good friend El Coraqge Herandez and we can see why on this pic. Cross steppin’ on this peeler!
The day would not be complete without a nature shot. Nice little baby turtle going out for first time in its life. Good luck out there cutie!!!
Getting close to the finals, the girls made it out and Dunia La Pinolera Burgos has her own show. Here she is caught attacking this closed out section with a sweet vertical move.
La Bestia Calderon had a tough first heat but he kept working and made it to the finals where he was blasting huge super mans, frontside and backside 360’s aerial maneuvers.
