Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola familia, bienvenidos al aviso Sunday Funday de surf! B-Ri back with the close off weekend update. So those onshore winds that’s predicted for the next week or so. . . yesterdays mega side shore south / southwest side winds totally blew out all the barrels and it went completely crumble factory by about noon or so, so that’s why I jammed down super early this morning in hopes to maybe catch some decent waves/surf before those onshore potentially had already came in. To my surprise it was completely sheet glass out there and although our super big and really fun giant surf finally dwindled it’s way back down to our normal 3-4 w/occasional 5 footers; I’d have to say it’s already starting to turn out to be a pretty amazing Sunday! Enjoy ~
I’d say 85% of the worlds surf population would agree, this is about the size (and conditions) that they would take ALL DAY everyday all year long. Which is kinda what this place is practically known for more than 3/4 of the year.
The last week was all stand up barrels, now people have get used to ducking and hunkering down a little more than the last few days. But there’s still some girth to that there lip. So decapitation still needs to be taken with slight heed to with every wave taken and pulled into!
Too early for Sunday? Just us land and water fotogs looking for some content support.
If you saw yesterdays mid afternoon waves, you’d be trippin’ on seeing how clean, glassy and fun it was out there this morning.
It actually looked like this yesterday morning, but quite a bit bigger.
Trestles…. naaahh, just Nica-Landia!
But could very easily pass as a shot from there this morning, I am sure, since this time of year the conditions there try their best to impersonate this Latin America slice of paradise.
Slash n’ Go! Hey Cesar that should be your next round of T-shirts and Hats Jajaja!!!
Instead of stopping by the drive through of the Bucks, (Starbucks that is). . this guy’s just driving through and ordering up a double hand stall laté!
Fun Nica fact #246869665421111. Did you know the inventor of the McRib from “Mickey D’s” is a long time expat surfer who has been coming to Nicaragua for decades. He was inspired to invent the MicRib, when he would always see this here, the ever so inconspicuous wave witht the ripples coming up the wave faces…. otherwise known as the the Nic-Rib! (***On and Ed side note, you shouldn’t always believe everything you read, especially when using Google!) Jajaja
Da true and purest of forms of the Classic Nicaraguan “Sunday Funday” all wrapped up in these next 3 images.
Just take a look at Sophies EAR to EAR grin on this super fun little summer time like weather beautiful warm tropical water wave.
Ain’t no mistaking having fun…. vs REALLY HAVING FUNNNNN!!!!! Yeeeeah Sophie!!! 😉
Well, as that sun finally made it’s way over the mountain cliffs splitting our favorite beach here and Playa Amarillo on the other side, this young worker (even though it’s Sunday) he’s still getting out there early and making his morning commute via his bicicleta; that which he walked a good quarter mile carrying it across all this sharp dragon type reef rocks around the headland. Ahhhhh what a life it is to live here. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and weekend amigos!!!

RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from Colorados. It was likely the last day of large-ish surf for a while. It took patience and good positioning, but there were some great barrels made today.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s plus-size swell report from Colorados. There were some good windows throughout the day, but you still needed to be patient and in the right place at the right time. Some epic ones to be found though.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday’s report from Colorados. The swell definitely showed up in force and was even bigger at sunset. A lot of water and sand moving around out there. Check out the size of this wave relative to the surfer going over it.
