Somewhere in Nicaragua

Happy Friday people! Here’s another kickoff to another fun weekend. Today here in Nicaragua is the Holiday recognizing National Work Day. Kind of ironic, since most people are not working right now. For everyone who’s out there risking their lives, taking time to be away from loved ones and doing the good deeds out there in the world right now…. this report is dedicated to YOU!!!

Big Daddy Cesar giving a little clinic to the insiders. Check out the boogy boarder kid as he’s watching intently. Who knows, maybe he’ll be an upcoming Nicaraguan competitive surfer after seeing this today???

The mood today was rather dismal. But the weather is always Nice here! You’ll never hear a complaint from a surfer in board shorts. Usually.

US Open trials…. could easily be a photo from my archives about 100 years ago. But nope, it’s just another day here in Nica and not one of our prettiest of days surf wise, either.

I’d say now there’s a pretty good mathematical equivalence to almost 50-75% of the male objective that are now dads out there in the lineup. Cesar helping with the bigger slice of the pie.

I like playing with my photos maybe almost as much as these amigos like playing in the waves when it’s side shore and sloppy.

Steezy, stylin’, cruising. If you’re a surfer and you come here everyday to see what’s going on with the waves, you know it’s always fun, no matter what!

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
