Somewhere in Nicaragua
Wow, before we get to today’s waves, we have to throw this shot up. This is from our good friend Allen in SJDS who went spearfishing last Sunday when the wind was onshore. Check out this MONSTER! Evidently the guy in the middle, Alexi, is a professional Russian Spearfisher and he took out Allan, Carlos and Adolfo (who crush it on their own). They went way offshore to a secret spot and the russian went down 25 m to tag this bad boy. Allan said he could hold his breath for around 3 minutes! Amazing work guys. That’s a trophy fish. I want to go next trip!
Hey everybody this is Chewy and Lucha Libre bringing you the Tuesday surf report. We checked our favorite spot and the waves were going off. It was well overhead and offshore winds, quite intimidating for my second day back. Check it out.
This is one of the guys ripping in the water! He’s from a crew that brought their water photog and had their truck on the beach. This guy stroked through this barrel with a 13 photo sequence. Holy cow that wave opened up.
Roberto took a nap on the beach and woke up to this guy getting shacked!Turned out pretty good, look alive Lucha! Next time you won’t be so lucky! (Whip crack sound)
This is our hung over friend Tony. Him and his buddy’s didn’t think the waves were going to be firing today so they did work last night. Here’s Tony trying not to throw up on an overhead set.
As we said there were some pros here in the water. This guy is looking good. Check that back foot, perfect spot. That’s what gets the stickers on the board.
I just really liked the way this guy pig dogged. He got super shacked on this wave. In fact he got super shacked on every wave.
What this guy lacks in hair he makes up for in bottom turn ability. PPPPeeeelllloooonnnn!!!!!
“I am the Barrel machine, Take me to your leader” (in a robot voice)
Thank you.

We wouldn’t put it on the report if it closed out.
Take notes Mateo.
This was easily an 8 second barrel I’m skipping pictures because I’m running out of things to say.
I don’t really have a script for the movie yet. It would probably be too long.
That was awesome. Teach me your ways.
Aaron was super pale so he had to get some shade or he would end up like a lobster.
We cracked it today and at about 6:30 in the morning the light was perfect. Roberto was super stoked, this guy is too, Barrelfest 2010.
It was pretty heavy out there and people were trying revolutionary stuff. Well, there’s a price for all that glory son. This guy called this one faceplant to board enema. Ouch.
This is what happens when you take your $20,000 rental car somewhere you have never been. Umm dude I think that tire is done for the day. The waves are supposed to pick up, if that’s even possible. Stay tuned, someone pray for Chewy, he needs it.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. I saw some of the biggest sets of the year today. There were epic moments, but it was still a bit slow between the high quality waves.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for a few days. The swell today is the largest it has been in about two weeks. It was still slow between the sets, but there were a few one hour windows and pulses.
