Somewhere in Nicaragua
Sweet Water Fund and HighPlace are collaborating on two art shows/fundraisers that will take place Thursday, May 15th and Friday 16th. The funds raised will benefit Las Poderosas (The powerful females) an all girls sports and wellness program started by The Highplace Foundation with the intent of clearing the path for young girls with dreams to become strong women with vision. The Thursday event will take place at Cafe Revolucion on Playa Maderas. This show will include: a live painting performance throughout the night, an additional live painting exhibit done by the audience, a silent auction of art, and massage service. This is a call to attend the event or to DONATE YOUR UNWANTED BROKEN BOARD which will be used as canvases for the artwork. Email[email protected]if you have a board to donate.
Small but beautiful waves were running in. Here is Juan on a sick right hander.
The tide was kinda low but the waves kept coming. Waves galore!
Sick sections to shred all day long. Cool snap on the backhand!
A couple of locals made it out and they were taking some nice ones as well. Deep bottom turn!
Junior was working on his backside tube ride skills. This kid is pretty good, and he doesn’t get to surf very often. It would be nice to see him out there more often.
Mr Snider was able to pull into some sweet little gems. Now you are ready for the big party fella.
Timoteo was having a blast out there. Check him out setting up to throw the lip off the back.
Cool little barrels to have fun on. Check out this little sequence.
Shot 3, in the magic spot!
Shot 4, a little deeper!
Shot 5, still going!
The waves were super fun all day long and everybody got plenty. Check out the scene.
Last action shot of the day goes to this unknown fella, getting locked. Just enjoying the view!
Off to the 2014 ISA WORLD SUP AND PADDLEBOARD CHAMPIONSHIP in Granada. Oliver is the man!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small today, but a few people got a very clean window. The vicious off-shores are supposed to start tomorrow, so they might’ve got the last of the good stuff for a bit.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops and French Fries. It was smaller than yesterday and the tide was off, but the wind wasn’t all that bad at sunset. Golden hour glass off. John hustling out there to play stuntman.
Hey everyone, welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were actually pretty epic for off-season today. Most of the shredders had already exited for lunch break when I showed up with the camera though. You’ll still get a rough sense of the quality of surf though.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi boys, this is Lucha Libre with your Friday surf report from up north. The surf was kinda fun, running about chest to head high on the bigger sets, the water was so refreshing but the winds were onshore. Check it out!
Plenty of fun size SSW groundswell was in the water today with shoulder-head high waves on the bigger sets. Light moderate offshore winds flow in the mornings, getting a bit stronger about noon. Plenty of southern hemi energy on the horizon. Check it out!!!
What’s up folks? This is Lucha Libre throwing a couple of shots in from down here in San Juan del Sur. The waves were super fun, running about chest to head high on sets with nice offshore winds and the water was nice. Check it out!!!
