OUTER REEF
Hello everyone, this is Baldo with the Monday Surf Report. Today was the pick of the swell so I went to check out the Outer Reef and this is what I found.
And there was a big crowd waiting for the show. Some with good cameras, others having coffee and breakfast but without taking their eyes away from the waves.
There is no better location to watch these waves than up in the hill in between the Sacuanjoche trees, comfortable sitted in the shade, sipping great Nicaraguan coffee (from my dad’s farm), watching these guys going down these monsters.
The surfer survived the fall but, sadly, the surfboard didn’t have the same luck.
The drop on this break is steep as hell!
… and you have to have an excellent bottom turn to be able to make it back into the face of the wave before the wave eats you alive.
He didn’t need the life jacket after all, he caught a few waves without falling.
A late big drop going backside… that’s gotta be scary!
But these guys live for days like this, and they prepare themselves fisically and mentally.
Hot Carl was on fire today, going for only the big ones.
There were not that many barrels to get in but Carl didn’t miss the opportunity to try to get in there.
The nose goes down and what you thought it was going to the best ride of the day, in a second turned into the worst wipe out ever.
Can you see his leash stretching all the way?
Even though it’s illegal to bring drones into the country, there seems to be a big number of them everywhere.
With this swell the inside of Outer Reef was working great. Mid-size waves peeling off for a long ride.
This guy was getting some really good ones.
Super late drop but in full control.
This photo wins the best photo of the day by far. Look at the size and shape of that monster, and the monster’s slayer air-dropping on it.
Most of the rides went without getting barreled, most went like this, barely there, maybe inside, maybe not.
Locked in and in the shade.
Deep and full covered… sadly the wave clamped on him.
Hope you liked today’s report at the Outer Reef. If you ever want to try it, come prepared like Hot Carl, a big gun, long and strong leash and a helmet. Saludos!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
Hey amigos! Josh here behind the lens for the foreseeable future. Today’s report is coming from Panga Drops. The waves were pretty small again today, but just big enough for a few people to rip.
