Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were very fun this morning and early afternoon. Plenty of super clean tubitos to be had.
Emi cleaned house at the river-mouth right while I was shooting. The southern-most peak on the beach.
Emi wasn’t the only one pulling into the fast right sets down south. Derek one-upped Emi with a slightly larger second wave from the set. Derek was lucky that this one was hollower too. A little extra adrenaline kick 🙂
This left Emi caught was a beauty and he ended up putting a good “combo” together, so I’ll share a few frames from the sequence.
He found some shade here, but I don’t know if this would really qualify as a barrel haha. His posture was so relaxed that I’m not even sure that he saw the lip coming at him haha
After he pushed through the lip from the earlier section, he set-up for a quick backside snap.
Emi was fully dialed on this left. He didn’t leave any meat on the bone, and capitalized on the soft end-section with a nimble, yet powerful, roundhouse cutback. Nice one Emi!
The tide was still a little high while I was shooting so most of the left barrels were still somewhat almondy. Vinny doing his best to check in for some tunnel vision.
Although there were some quality barrels made as the tide drained later in the morning, Kevin and Lesther ended up putting on an air-show. Kevin with picture perfect form and style during this frontside air-reverse.
Lesther had to smack the waves around a bit before taking flight and making the rest of us mere mortals feel impotent haha!
Not quite lunch time yet Lesther! Not “high noon” yet.
Dab and air over the haters.
Alrighty, you’ve waited long enough. Here’s Lesther’s mind-melting air. He got some SERIOUS height on this boost and nearly rode out of it with his knees still working correctly haha.
Riley O’rorke is a regular return shredder each surf season. Although he isn’t living here in Nica anymore, he never seems rusty when he comes back to get barreled and tear waves up with us.
Mid-tide had more than a few like this, but two or three times bigger. I think tomorrow might be a little smaller, but you don’t want to miss Colorados continuing to pick up momentum as we push deeper into surf-season. Boo-Yah!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were very similar to yesterday and Thursday. A few make-able tubes on the sets and overall playful conditions.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado! The waves were similar size to yesterday. Shoulder high on the sets, but smaller in between.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size dropped even more today, but there were still a few finale sets that rolled through in the morning. I guess everyone was burned out from the last swell as the crowd was light all day long.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome back for the Tuesday surf report. Really smoldering hot out there today! Winds were blowing quite a bit side shore, thus making the waves a bit crumbly, but there was some good lumps and bumps coming in; but I think everyone (quite the little crowd out there around midday) was out there just to cool..
Welcome back for another week of waves and for the local peeps down here to get back to the grind as their long weekend that extended into today known as the “dia de trabajo” or better known to most other non Latin countries as Labor day “Holiday”. Sadly for most it’s time to go back..
Happy Sunday people! Well, or for everyone here, Felices vacaciones el día libre de los trabajadores!!!! Also known as Happy holiday weekend celebrating all the workers day off, which is actually techincally tomorrow. However, in true Nicaragüense fashion, everyone loves their Emerald coast here and just about everyone form the big cities come here to..
