Somewhere in Nicaragua
New swell today!!! We started off the morning with slightly overhead sets and by this afternoon, it was pumping solid double overhead. The winds were light offshore and perfect all day long.
Here is an empty from this morning…
After a few days in Nicaragua, Shlek was starting to get his legs under him. This is why we call him
…and of course, every time I looked up, Roque was getting barreled.
The waves came up so much, we grabbed a few friends and decided to check this new spot that seemed like it might work on a big swell…and it was firing! …at least until my leash broke and my board washed up on the rocks. (TG, if you are reading this, please make me a new 6’3”)
Here is Oliver picking off a big one…
Here is our friend Sven from Sweden connecting through to the inside. Nice one Sven!
As far as we know, this place has never been surfed before, so we are going to call it
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from Colorados. It was likely the last day of large-ish surf for a while. It took patience and good positioning, but there were some great barrels made today.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s plus-size swell report from Colorados. There were some good windows throughout the day, but you still needed to be patient and in the right place at the right time. Some epic ones to be found though.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday’s report from Colorados. The swell definitely showed up in force and was even bigger at sunset. A lot of water and sand moving around out there. Check out the size of this wave relative to the surfer going over it.
