Nicaragua Surf Report for Thursday, March 22, 2018

Hey guys!  Kevin here with today's report, looks like I was wrong, sometimes we DO get swell on report days!  

 

Long story short, I hopped on a boat bound for the lefthand point in order to see what it looked like, and I brought the results back for you guys.  Check it out!

The view from the channel ....

Took this within the first five minutes of hopping into the water. I was stoked to see there was a bit of size. Usually, I'm used to pulling up at lance's and seeing it barely hit head high, so this was a welcome sight.

Conditions weren't all time, but winds weren't bad, considering how hard it was blowing on the way to the spot, and there were enough waves to keep everyone entertained

This is what you want to see. Just big, long walls

For whatever reason, at some spots, there just seem to be some guys who are on all of the best waves. Brian was one of those guys today

He has a good style. Every time I saw him paddling on his green board for a wave I would whip out the camera.

This guy was stoked. I thought he was waving to his friends but when i checked the edit at home i guess he was looking at me. Cheers mate

This guy was kind of sitting waiting for the insiders that other people missed. He caught a few really nice ones. I love this guy's bottom turn

Survival stance on the drop

Couple of longboards out there today! A longboard is a great call for Lance's left

Nice hack on a foamy wave

Head high - head high plus all day

She just looks so relaxed going down that wave I love it!

All manner of wavecraft out there today!

Lot of stylish surfers out there today. This guy was very fast and quick

Lined up

This girl was ripping out there. She was snagging all of the waves that were swinging wide. You can see how strong the wind was today

Ryan channeling his inner Rob Machado. Single fins seem to do that to you for some reason

Cool little photo. He was super close to me on this turn. Technically not the best shot, but sometimes those are the most interesting ones

The cleanup set

The horse we rode in on ...

This guy was an amazing surfer. Just linking turns like it was nothing. Seeing guys like this is a large part of the reason I enjoy surf photography.

The only thing that comes close to the love I have for surfing ... is watching other people surf

I always find it so entertaining to watch people surf with hats. Gotta do what you gotta do to keep the sun away!

That feel when you line up the shot

That's it for today folks!  Sorry for posting so late, but as you guys know, the later the report, the better the waves usually HAHA

 

Anyway, as usual, feel free to contact us at [email protected], or feel free to contact me directly at kevin-huang.com if you're looking for your photos.  

Keep an eye out, there's more swell on the horizon.  See you guys next time!

Hola amigos de NSR, bienvenidos a otro “Jueves de Español” desde playa Santana. Las olas bajaron de tamaño y el viento aumentó de fuerza, pero sólo será por unos días ya que el viento se calmará y las olas crecerán dentro de una semana.

Javier Baldovinos

A pesar del fuerte viento, las olas lograron mantener buena forma, abriendo principalmente hacia la izquierda.

Javier Baldovinos

El primer pico parecía que quería despertar pero el viento fuerte no dejó que mostrara su verdadero potencial… tenía buena forma pero no estaba produciendo tubos.

Javier Baldovinos

Emeline y Etienne no pierden el tiempo, cada vez que hay buenas olas aparecen muy sonrientes a agarrar y compartir las olas juntos.

Javier Baldovinos

Durante toda la tarde vi picos saliendo en varias partes de la playa, y muchas veces, dos surfistas dividiéndose la ola en armonía.

Javier Baldovinos

¿Vientos fuertes? Más agua en cada maniobra!

Javier Baldovinos

Este surfista estaba solo surfeando la parte norte de la playa. Las olas no estaban muy buenas allí pero él supo bien como pasarla bien y explotar las condiciones de las olas.

Javier Baldovinos

Aquí está él en otra ola mostrando poder y control justo antes que se cerrara la ola.

Javier Baldovinos

Aquí Emeline disfrutando de una buena y larga izquierda. Hey Emeline, cuándo vamos a llevar a los niños a surfear nuevamente?

Javier Baldovinos

Este surfista era uno de los pocos que estaba disfrutando del primer pico… como pueden ver, tenía buena forma pero sin los tubos espectaculares que a todos nos encanta ver y surfear.

Javier Baldovinos

¿Qué hacer cuando no hay tubos? Bueno, atacar las paredes y el labio de las olas en cada maniobra.

Javier Baldovinos

Cada ola presentaba suficiente pared para hacer varias maniobras, especialmente un par de “snaps” en la cara.

Javier Baldovinos

Una bonita cortina de agua, y con suficiente espacio en frente para hacer unas 2 cortinas más.

Javier Baldovinos

Semana Santa (Easter Week) está a la vuelta de la esquina, y como siempre, eso significa que habrá fiesta y música en la playa durante toda una semana!

Javier Baldovinos

Todavía están trabajando en el bar de la playa, todavía no está terminado pero la gente ya está entrando en calor… con Joyita!

Javier Baldovinos

En los próximos días podrán venir a disfrutar de las olas y el surf mientras descansan cómodamente en una de esas sillas con una cerveza bien heladita… los esperamos!
