OK, so today we have the second National Surf Contest being run out here at Playa Santana. We've got over 60 competitors from San Juan Del Sur, Limon, Las Salinas, Masachapa and Las Penitas. There are tents set up all over the beach, there's plenty of food and drinks and the music is blasting from the DJ stand. It's on!

We've got slightly overhead sets and offshore winds out here today and both peaks are working. This is Elvis over on the wedge left-hander.

The San Juan crew was out in force - taking the bus up here early this morning and camping out on the beach. They get a bit crazy at times but they're a solid group to have around.

Here is a nice shot of Oliver - who surfed well but did not advance. Tough call which could have gone either way.

We don't know this guy, but Roberto got a nice shot of him. Tomorrow's action is shaping up to be pretty good so make sure you check back to see who wins.

Oh yeah, before we forget - we wanted to say goodbye to our latest NSR Beach House guests who enjoyed overhead surf and offshore winds for 10 days in a row. Glad to have you down guys! Come back anytime.

This is a shot off the front lawn the morning they left - so surfed out that it didn't even matter. Head high, offshore and nobody out.
