Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Tuesday and for all my friends a little further North, Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today was another fun day of waves up at the Reef! not too many people out (again) and head high waves rolling in for the few who decided to make the paddle out. Enjoy!
Two dudes splitting a fun little peak on the tide going out in the afternoon. That’s how it’s done here, especially when we have waves.
Luckily Bertie’s new home sits just steps away from the sand and this break.
Which also explains why he’s got this wave to dialed in.
His son Robin following closely in his dads wake.
Cesar on one of the many race track rights roping in today. This wasn’t even his longest wave, either.
Ohhh Look it’s Mr. Chris Russell!!!
He’s the editor n chief for the surf reports on Thursdays and Fridays. If you haven’t already seen some of his reports, I highly recommend you catch him on his report days and you can also give him a follow on his IG account here“russellnonstophustle”where he posts a lot of really cool lifestyle happenings here in Nica-Land!
Surfing this place and going this fast on a foil on low tide here could be really interesting, as there are a lot of rocks just below the surface. But not to worry, he’s got his foil pretty well dialed in here.
Esteban opting for the LB log out there today… not only was he catching a bunch of waves, but he was ripping every wave he caught to pieces!
NMRK 100% on this turn here!
Without a telephoto lens, like the one I have, it was really hard to see what all that cluster of floating things was out on the ocean. Turns out it was a small armada of fishing boats….. AND it looks like they found a really good fishing spot. That or they’re Celebrating Cynco De Mayo a really really long long ways away from home!
These are my favorite kind of inside bowl sections and photos of this particular wave. When this wave is firing you can actually get a pretty short, but really sick and intense barrel out there. Cesar looking for a green room barrel over that reef!
If you find yourself tucked into one of those elusive shack-town grinders, you can always hit the inside end section with a huge gouging wrap just like this. Sickkkk one homie!!!
Aaaaand WE WAIT. Just a few more days and we should see our next decent swell. Come on Friday/Saturday…. Can you please get here already..!!!!
I’ll see you fine people here again tomorrow. SBS is out ~

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The small “gap” days are here! Funnily enough there were still some mini-drainers at Colorados this Wednesday morning.
