Somewhere in Nicaragua
In case you have not already heard Nicaragua is experiencing mounting unrest triggered by planned changes to Social Security benefits and taxes. Demonstrations began last Wednesday and have been escalating since in many Nicaraguan cities. A ray of light came yesterday when the reversal of the unpopular Social Security changes that sparked the demonstrations was announced. We mourn together with our Nicaraguan community for the tragic loss of life over the last few days, at the same time we are hopeful that this is the beginning of a resolution to the unrest and that a national dialogue toward resolving the greater problems that face the country will commence soon. Join us in a prayer for peace, justice and democracy for Nicaragua.
Swell has backed way off today as we get a little break between swells. Waves were in the waist to chest high range and the wind is offshore. Beach breaks were the call today.
Even down days can offer a silver lining.
Smaller waves and lighter winds mean the fishermen gear up and get ready to make a living.
This spot tends to put the shine on even the smallest of days. The rocks in the back ground of this photo cause a rebound wedge that adds juice to even the most lackluster swells.
Going for that glide and enjoying a golden morning moment.
Mike jumped out there on a borrowed longboard today thinking there’s no better board for these conditions.
He left the leash behind saying it gets in the way of his cross-steppin’. We hear ya, but man be careful that log is heavy.
Mike said, “nah brah, if I fall I’ll just grab it”. Well….
….he did and he did.
Way to back it up and be safe out there, Mike! See ya in the water.
RECENT REPORTS
What a Friday! Welcome to another picturesque day at Playa Colorado. The swell showed up early today, and pulsed even harder as the day progressed. Emilien kicking off today’s action.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. Today was probably the bottom of the swell until Sunday (which also could be relatively mellow). There was cloud cover and a few little showers scattered throughout the day, but there were fun windows for surf.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday’s action is coming your way from Colorados as per usual. The size dropped today, but there were still a few head-high sets offering up shreddable walls.
