Somewhere in Nicaragua

On the north peak, a dad pushed his kid into a nice wave. Check out the result!

Dad, can you push me into waves so I can get barrel?!?

Nice wave and style hombrecito! Be careful, once you’re an established ripper, you’ll need to pay your dad back with set waves!!

The wind cooperated, interval dropped, and the size stuck around. In local terms, that means clear your Sunday plans for the barrel fest in our backyard!!

Many of today’s waves were fast with a long wall. If you made a quick pump, drew a high line, and hugged your rail, you had a memorable drainer.

With the current direction, the rights were working well. Unfortunately, nobody tamed this beast.

On the other side of the rip, good lefts rolled through. Because Hayden locked into a backsider for our report, Scoops and Spokes will hopefully serve a batch of toasted marshmellow icecream, right?!?

Mateo is currently hosting Bretty Barley from OBX. Check out what tricks are up his and his friend’s sleeves.

Maybe it’s his Friday Instagram edits, his roots, or the lifestyle his family leads, but every East Coaster follows this guy. His surfing isn’t too shabby either…

When the winds turn onshore, the fishing is great. Go spear or hook a big fish, Brett!!

Oliver Kurtz is also part of the NICA Time crew. Oliver, to keep your Snapchat game strong, put this sequence on your story.

Lesther Espinoza, spend an afternoon with these pros and watch them surf! They’ll help you perfect your progressive surfing.

Variable winds are normal for the East Coast so these guys are use to it. For Nicaragua, they are abnormal so we get our work done, hang out on the beach, or run the Beach Club volleyball court (see you there tonight).

Check out this peeling right! The crowds were on it this morning; however, plenty of waves still slipped through the cracks.

As we are entering our busy season, we want to be clear where we stand with etiquette. Do not bring your burns, snowballs, or disrespect here… that is not the local way. Respect the beach, the locals, and the other surfers.

John is part of the OG crew to Nicaragua. If you spend enough time at this critical wave, you’ll figure out how to gracefully longboard it.

Billy and his friend are tube hounds on their body boards. Friday was the reef and today is a beach break day.

Similar to last time, the wave sectioned directly on top of the rider. At least he didn’t lose a fin this time.

And he still made it!!! Pat and Nacho- take notes bros!!

Even when the waves get heavy, you can shoulder hop and look for corners. Check out this surfisto’s trick.

Bam!! This grom is surfing beyond his years. Yeah buddy!

Other teens were ripping too. Overhead for him, shoulder for everybody else, and chest for me…

While you’re surfing, look out for the rips. First for safety reasons but also for a bumpy meaty wave. Hold on tight and take a deep breath if you fall!

Scott saw the set and paddled over. The wave didn’t stand up enough for us big guys but he still styled through the section.

I shot a ton of photos of everybody’s waves. If you want your sequence or the money shot, reach out to me at[email protected]. We’ll hook you up and make your buddies jealous!

Ok damas and caballeros, thank you all for checking out the report! We are hoping to enjoy leftovers into the beginning of the week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a good start to the week. Adios amigos!!
