Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there and Happy Saturday surf fans! Today we had and epic day of waves. Absolutely pumping all throughout the day with super clean and buttery conditions. Step on in to check it all out!
With these light offshores that have been gracing our shores and waves the last couple of days, it’s no surprise that this is what gave this place it’s famous name AND image that’s engrained in anyones mind who’s surfed here.
Tony Z’s a good friend of mine who’s been shooting photos here for a really long time now. He’s also one of the best surf photographers who also surfs and loves it when we have days like this.
I think it’s pretty safe to say that anyone who’s here now (be it long term or just held up from the worldly crisis) has won the lottery ticket of “Best Place to Currently Be” list of all surf places.
This is the view from the NSR Beach House around midday today. The house has been unoccupied for a while now. But it’s been one of my favorite places to roll up and check the waves, since it’s empty. Now think about that fact that this place is usually booked completely non-stop from anywhere between March to Sept or October. Now think about how many ridden OR unridden waves that have gone by since all of our quarantine. John Gillem here, has the best view in all of Nicaragua IMHO!
And here’s another closer view of him and his view.
Dreamy… just another word to describe todays conditions.
Chris has been clocking a lot of time not only in the waves, but under the lip. This has a lot to do with the very minimal crowd factor lately.
Another thing you may not notice is that there isn’t a whole of snowballing on most waves either, due to the lack of people out in the lineup.
Just clean crispy throwing barrel lines without any paddle wakes or people looking over the shoulder. Dario has this one all to himself… accept for maybe those higher tide warble lines coming quickly at him.
If you zoom in…. I mean if you REALLY REALLY ZOOM IN. John Gillem’s face just knocked off 5 years of aging from todays session alone. It’s for real peeps! Surfing in the fountain of youth!
Kevin didn’t miss one single current call today…. Well, maybe one. But we’ll save that for later.
I ran into to Chris piloting his drone today when I got down to the beach. I asked if he was gonna paddle out. This is him literally about 15 min later.
If waves could be referred to a male parent…. I would so love to caption this one as…. “Who’s your daddy!?!?!” Lol
Scott get’s referenced on here a lot that he’s really tall. I mean, make no mistake about it, it’s very true. But damn, he’s a really good size indicator for this place, right?
Especially when he’s tucked into a thick sand dredging aqua green barrel like this one here. It was pretty solid out there today.
Just ask Peter, who’s getting slotted of his melon.
Or Nacho as well. Both these waves were back to back and I couldn’t have been more stoked and happy to see these two guys getting some of the best waves out there today.
Looks like they’re both super happy too!!! Ya boys!!!!
Because I like to mix it up, I decided to switch it over to the lefts for a bit and luckily it was just in time to see Papa Nam taking off on this nug!
Look at that nice head high gem reeling in. Ya Buddy!!!!
Complete with a sick little signature roundhouse wrap. Yewwww!
Ryan looking to get one of those crazy draining rights that was funneling through all day. Mañana hermano! In the AM, if it’s ON again, hopefully!?!
Colin, who’s always keeping it real, surfing with a single fin and no leash. Believe it when I say, if the biggest bomb of the day comes his way…. watch out!!!!!
Jenny (all smiles) putting it on for the ladies out there today. She’s definitely working up her appetite for her fresh homemade pupusas she has waiting for her right after this surf sesh!
It’s not a surf session without some proper turns in there as well. Chris cutting it like a knife on this little closeout section.
Remember a little while back I mention something about Kev not missing a single curtain call…. ?? Well, here’s what looked to be one of the best waves of the day.
Setting it up and waiting for that thing to throw….
Hoooo Brah!!!!Like the late Kenny Rodgers said best… “You’ve got to know when to hold ’em Know when to fold ’em Know when to walk away And know when to run…!” -how’s that lip too and Kev looking back saying… Nah Brah!

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello everyone, Baldo again with my fourth day in a row doing the surf report this week. Santana was looking really fun, take a look!
Hello everybody!! This is Parker logging in for today’s shots. The morning session was fun so I recommend clicking the “read more” button to see for yourself.
There was not much room to play. The few good ones that came through disappeared on the shoulders leaving enough room for one, maybe two small turns.
