Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey, hey everyone! Welcome to the Wednesday evening surf report from Playa Colorado. Josh behind the lens here. This shot is my favorite from this evening, with Sophie and another dude on rail and Costa Rica in the background.
I’ll lead off today’s report with a Finley Weitzen highlight reel. I bet Finley spends more daylight hours in the water than any other person in Iguana presently.
Did TESLA and Elon Musk release a hoverboard? Oh no, that’s just Finley. He levitates out in the water haha
The waves were fairly soft this evening, but Finley still made the conditions look way better than they were. Stylish slide here brotha!
Speed blur into the double-up closeout death section on this left. I chicken out on these sections every time I run into one, but Finley was completely undeterred.
Mr. Kevin Cortez, one of my favorite surfers in this country, also squeezed in some flight time this evening! Textbook form on this air as his front foot shifts toward the nose to max-out his height and land with the nose hitting the water first.
BAM! These are some of my favorite turns to do as your board releases rapidly after you connect with the lip. This guy got more vertical than I do though LOL
Kevin going 12 o’clock and beginning to torque through this top turn. I’m surprised at how radical his moves are given how wide his board is, but Kevin never ceases to amaze.
Meanwhile way up North… This shredder found a mysto left closer to Pangas than the other surfers and ripped its face off.
Kevin found the only barrel that came in this evening haha. The locals have crazy instincts and pre-initiative in forecasting where the next set will be. It ran hot, but I’d say he didn’t suffer any opportunity cost going on this one, considering it was the hollowest wave of the evening.
Congrats to this gentleman for finding another somewhat critical right! Hopefully he continued to open-up and project upward with his lead arm to get up and across the face of this gem.
Alrighty amigos, that’s the cream of the crop from this evenings photos. Finley and Kevin hard carried the surf report today by fully capitalizing on the conditions at hand (thanks fellas). I might be behind the lens again tomorrow, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. Have a good one everybody!
