Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, January 25, 2019

Brian Scott

Thank goodness it’s any day, really! Fridays always seems to make it even better, BUT today we had some fun waves, some spectacular weather. Welcome to the TGIF surf report my friends!

Brian Scott

This place has been the mecca for waves within a 50 smiles radius now for well over a month. So glad I get to call this place home.

Brian Scott

Being a long term visitor, I am by no means a real local, but getting to know the amazing people here, better known as Nicaragüenses, they all have amazing hearts and a sense of giving like no others I have met along my travels throughout the globe.

Brian Scott

It’s no wonder why the people who live by the sea understand it so well.

Brian Scott

They adapt to the things that bring them much happiness and prosperity not always necessarily associated with money.

Brian Scott

Even though this is one of the poorest countries (economically) the love is deeply rich in large amounts of pride and a feeling of togetherness.

Brian Scott

I could easily sit for a few days telling feel good stories of the kinds of things the Nicaragüense people do here on a daily basis freely, just out of the kindness of their own hearts.

Brian Scott

So being that I’ve been here through one of their toughest times in almost 30 years, it’s a definite eye opener to see what it looks like when a country truly comes together as a unified whole.

Brian Scott

It’s a beautiful thing. Much like this sweeping backside cutback Oscars been perfecting his entire life.

Brian Scott

I must say there’s a good amount of people here for being only January, which is still pretty early for the busier surf season.

Carlos here, busting one of the sickest airs I’ve seen him do in a while, came out of the water like he always does, HUGE smile, shivering a little from the recently chili waters and he asked me how it was going… totally careless if I had captured his this amazing sequence. When I showed him in the back of the camera, he grinned and said.. “Whoa that’s pretty sick”, humble as always, he kindly asked if I could give him the shot and I said, without hesitation, YUP!

Brian Scott

I’ve seen most of these young guns, now turning into men surfing since they were grommets. I’ve also been to every beach from San Juan Del Sur all the way up to Vera Cruz and I have to say, this stretch of beach has some of the most well rounded polite Nicaragüense surfers I’ve ever met. Just great kids!

Brian Scott

Hey dude, did you get my last wave in…..???? Jajajaja, what do you think… Of course! I get everyone’s waves!!!

Brian Scott

Phi Lu coming round the corner with some good speed. Phillipo is pretty much our house/resident DJ, so even though you might see him surfing by day, you’re bound to be getting jiggy on the dance floor later in the evening to his groovy funky beats!

Brian Scott

The grom and my favorite micro machine surfer of the week, Maycol Mejia, killing it out there little buddy!

Brian Scott

The pelicans always fly south in the late afternoon…. where these two are headed, I have no idea??? Maybe Mag Rock for a party??? Either way, fly safe my friends. See you all tomorrow for the Saturday surf report. Chao for now ~
