OK, let's get this party started. Today is the first day of the National Surf Contest at Maderas. We've got chest high waves and howling offshores. There is a buzz in the air with anticipation of the event. Here is a shot of the scaffolding on Machete point, which proved to be too unstable to hold the speakers due to the wind.

We've got over 80 competitors from around Nicaragua and Costa Rica here today - It's impossible to keep track of them all. This is Larry.

It's hard to show just how hard the offshores were blowing in these picture, but take our word for it - it was HOWLING! At one point it ripped up the giant Red Bull umbrellas and sent them careening down the beach.
