Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Tuesday friends! Another great day of surfing, waves and good times. The swell has dropped quite a bit from the last few days of mayhem and wild giant waves. However, today was back down to fun and not so scary. So there were a lot of people out enjoying what Nica-Land is known for…. Barrels! Enjoy ~
Spoiler alert… if you like barrels, this surf report is chock-full of them. Just like Grant here on this mid morning beauty!
Although the waves were a bit racey out there on the quickly dropping tide, making for a prefect 10 barrel put any surfer out there today to the test of his or her pumping down the line in the barrel skills.
Whether you made it or not wasn’t the real question. What was nice was that there were equally as many lefts as there were rights out there today. A nice change up from the last few days of almost practically all rights.
Kevin back to flowing nicely with some turns after a barrel fest of a weekend of really big barreling waves!
Sean putting his Playgrounds surf skills to test here at our beach break.
There were so many mystery barrel surfers I could have made on here today… I literally could have made a whole entire surf report of all mystery barrel surfers. Hmmmm…. maybe that’s something for the near future???
Mr. Carl feeing good coming off a really nice first season swell AND coming off this bottom turn.
How else can you feel any better than sticking this move after an all morning marathon surf session. So many waves for everyone.
Chris Conner on his 100,000th barrel in Nicaragua. No really… there’s an actual real number to that statement in truth. I wonder what that number really is????
Here’s a little three-peat banger of a few of Ryan’s best waves today.
Ryan was feeling really good out there today, as many people were.
The conditions were primo!
Manny was another one of the many other rippers out there today as well. Which angle you like of his getting shacked the most. This one….
OR this one????
Anyone who was out there who I ended up talking to later after they got out said the same thing… that there was still plenty of energy out there in the lineup.
Just goes to show how talented and crazy some of these guys down here and their surfing really is. Sean’s is up there…. WAY UP THERE!!
Esteban… always forward thinking…. I mean really far forward thinking. Helps he has a really talented green thumb too!!!
Mr. Josh, Mr JoshHavePigDog, Always! Ever so stylish and living up to his name on every single wave he paddles into… that is a right of course for the JHPD!
Brother John standing tall (which actually gives a pretty good size-O-meter) on this little BIG beauty of a left!
Hot Carl. Carlitos Caliente. Call him anything that’s spicy, just don’t call him out for never going BIG. Here’s maybe one of the best waves I saw out there today.
Sick one Boss-man!!!
Finishing off nicely today with this beautiful wrap around. Yewww!
Aaaaand BOOOOM! Just like that… it’s another great day of surfing in the books, once again!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.
