Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were even better than the past few days. So much for the small waves that were forecasted haha. Koji’s board disappeared on him here.
Wham! This shredder must’ve had some extra strong coffee this morning.
An unknown rider tucking and rolling through a nice little right at the middle peak. Although the waves weren’t huge they were thick and punchy as the tide drained.
Koji putting his Byrne board to work with a smooth floater off the top.
The water color was perfect this morning. Surf season Colorados blues. Lefts and rights as you can see.
Rio got a leg burner of a left out there this morning. His surfing has been improving rapidly lately. Having the pressure of an older brother and a Dad to help get you in the spot is very beneficial!
Especially when the older brother is pulling into some tubes! Jetty stalling for some shade on this perfect insider right.
Koji got the barrel of the report window though. This was a gem of a left and Koji capitalized on it with style.
I like how Koji used his left thigh and side of his stomach to drag some. It gives greater precision and style than using one’s butt to drag (I personally have verified the superiority of the thigh/knee drag).
Koji is so style-sensitive that he even released his rail and started to stand up before even completely exiting the barrel. Nice one Kojer!
Ok amigos, the fun waves seem to be a daily fixture now! Tony Z returns to the report tomorrow and swell is supposed to build so be sure to check in for tomorrow’s action. Cheers.
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.

Hey y’all, Josh here! Welcome to the Thursday surf report. The swell that you would’ve seen on yesterday’s report has filled in even more today. However, it was a still a bit smaller than Surfline was calling for. There were a couple of bodyboarders out there getting some sick tubes and even taking to the..
Happy Hump Day better known as Wednesday my friends! So if you tuned into yesterdays report, you were treated to some mighty fine waves and pretty spectacular surfing I might add. However, I was told it was even better earlier. (I shot in the late late morning) sooooo today I made myself get down there..
Bienvenidos! Looks like we have a few little front runners coming in early for this next (supposedly well sized swell). Let’s see how the afternoon looked shall we…
