Somewhere in Nicaragua
Buenos!Welcome to our daily surf report here at NSR.Our man Lucha was shooting photos at a classified location this Thursday a.m. and the waves were macking!Sets were thundering in with some solid, overhead sets. The winds were blowing offshore, making for some more insane tubes!We are going to use this photo to make a set of NSR postcards.
This wave just rifled down the beach and didnāt stop barreling at all.Lucha fired off a 40 shot sequence of this wave.Unknown surfer on a freight train of a right!If you are reading this man, we have got some good shots of you!
This man, fromNorth Carolinapulled into some great waves this morning.He would come out of a clean barrel and instead of pulling out, heād rip a big turn on the end section.
This longboarder was definitely noticed this morning (he was the only non-shortboard surfer).Getting closed out on a big wave with a big board right next to you can be dangerous, but it didnāt seem to bother this dude!
This is Jeff Hakman, one of the founders of the well known, surf company, Quiksilver.Jeff has won some very prestigious surf contests, including the big wave contest held atWaimeaBay, and one of the most notorious contests known to surfing at the banzai Pipeline!!(just to name a couple).Ā He’s in his 60’s now and he’s still got it!Here are a few shots of him on a beautiful right hander this morning.Dropping inā¦
Classic style and perfect execution on this bottom turn.Ā Check out how perfect that wave is!
You knew it was coming!Ā Ā Jeff, slotted in a solid barrel.Ā Nice wave man!Ā It was great to meet you!
After seeing Jeff get shacked, I decided to paddle out and get one for myself. My first wave didnāt go quite as smoothly as his though!
This is our amigo, Adam āSuper Canaā late dropping on this little nugget!Fully extended!

Mikeās been getting so barreled everyday out here!Heās got a reputation around here for pulling into anything he can.This particular wave he got pretty deep and came out clean!Weāve got a ton of photos of you Mike!
There was nobody around for this Left that came through.Just firing down the sandbar!
If thatās not considered a getting shacked, then I donāt know what is..This guy had some epic backside barrels today!
Lance is well known around here for charging just about anything.Check out how thick the lip is on this thing.Yaaa Lance!!
How many different words can I use for barrel?Shacked, pitted, slottedā¦. This is Kivu and he was all of the above on this wave!
There was some good sized sets coming through.We could tell there was some juice in the water when we saw waves like this storming through.This is Kivu again from another angle and on a bit bigger of a wave!Can you tell which way the wind was blowing?
This looked like a big chocolate milk barrelā¦But a barrel none-the-less!Unknown surfer in a room with a view!
Chris paddled out and scored some sick waves!This guy is a really fast surfer and can easily make a fast closeout look smooth and makeable.
Weāll sign off today with a wave for everybody to go ahead and mind-surf!How barreled do you think you would be right here? I went through and countedā¦ I wrote the word barrel 12 times on todayās report!Thatās about all today was though.Pitsā¦Pits all around!This has been Eric with the Thursday surf report, the swell will be around again tomorrow so check back with us!From all of us at NSR, thanks for checkinā us out!
