Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Monday surfistas! Baldo, Parker and I have been playing a little music chairs with our reports lately, so sorry for the confusion for all you really die hard fans who really know which day is our real report days! haha That being said, Brian here to get things rolling for the week (and Big Thank you to Mr Parker for covering me over the weekend). We had some really small surf early on today and by late afternoon this new swath of back to back swells were expecting to roll in might have slightly started to make it in…. come on take a look!
Before I forget to mention. We do have some great new swell on the way, so if you need anything… and I MEAN ANYTHING! We’ve got you fully covered from fins, to sunscreen, wax, traction pads, even surfboards if you need a spare. So feel free to stop on by at the commercial center downtown.
OK, so back to the surfing. Check this unknown hombre testing out his new brakes before the real race begins (hopefully manana!)
Hayden will definitely be out if it’s really calling it 4-6 (which is new Surfline model sizing) from which I heard a little rumor they downgraded their system; must be going back to the good old Hawaiian scale measurements.
Cause that last well we had that was calling 4-6, actually was about 2 to 2-1/2 times overhead (on the maxed out sets). So if my measurements are correct with this new measuring system, this wave here is about 1 foot. Pretty accurate!
If all things aline correctly…. this guy could be standing as tall as he wants to with a lot more water over his head, over the next couple days.
There’s a special reason in the Universe why we don’t have pumping, macking swell 80% of the time at any given surf spot/destination. Simple. We need the rest in-between the amazing swells and time to reflect back on the glorious moments.
That and my camera equipment, hard drives and body would start to hate me. Yes, we photographers need time too, to play catch up with hundreds if not thousands of photos that are snapped away during some of the best waves of our season here.
There’s actually only a small handful of people who I can think of who would love it if the waves were pumping 24/7. Here’s one of them at the top of the list.
It’s technically now our rainy – wet – winter season down here; and although the temperatures will never ever reach below freezing (imagine most people from here have never even seen or felt snow in real life) Gavin here doing his best to bring the snow to Nica-Land as a super duper early Christmas present!
Gav putting a lot of ummffff behind his backside approach and landing.
The groms here are simply amazing, they follow the simple act and practice of watch and do. and repeat… and repeat…
AND REPEAT! Until their surfing is perfected!
You can’t be a proud grom mom of two up and coming rippers and not come down and watch your little nemos morph daily into gnarly big boy shredders.
See what I mean…. Koji with a sick double hand stall-drag while getting the cover up. Where’d you learn how to surf growing up… HB, Coco Beach, Waikiki, nahhhh DOG, I grew up surfing in Nicaragua!!!!
Mr. Nicholson on his vintage yellow plastic fantastic!! haha I’m just kidding, that’s not a plastic fantastic, BUT how many of you (be honest) tripped out a little bit and new what a plastic fantastic was? Hmmm…. ya, we’re old!
Post apocalyptic fall off…… no, it’s just another one of our unique and crazy sunsets that we’re blessed to have each and every day here.
Alright you people…. you ready for some more SWELL???? I know everyone here is!!!! Boards have been waxed up, massages have been taking place, the comida y cervezas has been consumed and ready to be burnt off. Bring on them OLAS, mother nature!!!! C ya out there ~

Happy Sunday everybody, and a very HUGE happy Fathers day to all you kick A$$ dads out there! We must be doing something right because this place lit up like Christmas day with a plethora of sweet perfection of barrels today. I know the last few days have been pretty sick, but today was down right EPIC!! Huge..
Hey everyone, welcome to the super soggy sábado surf report. That’s right, it’s been rain, rain and more rain. Which is a good thing if we all want good fertile land, drinking water and believe it or not, better surf (in this case sand bars). So put on your galoshes and maybe a rain coat..
My buddy Carl was de surfer charger in the group today. When the boat stop, he have the leash already on his feet and he jumping in less than a second, ejected from the boat. And check it out, he was ready for everything, he just go for.
