Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, April 12, 2006

This is Roberto making the surf report and spanish class from San Juan del Sur for today. It's head high on sets, the water is chilly and the wind is offshore. Check out the left at the bay.

The right was working too. This is Carlos a local from San Juan del Sur, he's 15 years old.

We also found some chicks on the beach.

Here is Rex getting some air.

Check out Augusto the National Champion. Doing his thing.

TODAY'S SPANISH CLASS: Aqui esta Luis con un bonito corte. Here is Luis with a nice cut.

Roque was teaching the kids how to surf in town. Check back tomorrow.

...and on the other side of Nicaragua, NSR dispatched a search team to check out Corn Island. Sitting off the atlantic/carribean coast of Nicaragua and open to the same swells that produce waves in places like Bocas Del Toro, Panama and Salsa Brava, CR, we were curious of the surf potential this small island could be holding. This is the Costena Airlines plane from Managua.

Less than 2 hours later we pulled up to the house. This is the view, right out front.

We spent the day diving and spearfishing around the island and this is the closest thing I could find to a wave - a perfect righthander peeling off the rocks...about 6 inches high.
