Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey guys this is Roberto “Lucha Libre” and Mateo “Pledge” with the Saturday surf report. We headed out to the beach today and the waves were running about chest to shoulder high with hardly anyone in the water. The wind was offshore and the water was warm. The tide was kind of lower but there was still some waves to be had. Check it out!
The first shot of the day we have a guy visiting from Brazil cruising down a relatively thick wave. When we were surfing out there the waves were not epic but it was nice to have your pick of any waves because the crowd was so nonexistent.
We spotted one our good friends out there , Yaosca “Yao Ming”, improving her surfing skills in the water today. This is her with her first official surfing shot on NSR. Felicidades!
The next shot is of our friend Paul who is visiting here from LA with his wife, Meagan. They decided to make Nicaragua their honey moon destination and they have had a great time so far. Here Paul is showing that he can still has energy reservoirs even halfway into the honey moon.
English- After Yaosca finished her session we thought we would give her a little interview. Yaosca is 23 and she is from Nicaragua. She moved to San Juan del Sur about four years ago. She said that San Juan del Sur is her favorite place in Nicaragua because there are so many nice people and there is a real good social scene after hours. Yaosca’s favorite place to eat is “The Chicken Lady” because she makes the best gallo pinto. She also loves to dance with her eyes closed so she can feel the music better. The last question was: What would win in a battle between the biggest baddest bear vs the biggest baddest tiger? She thought that the tiger would win because tigers are so much more agile. Thanks so much for the interesting interview Yao Ming. Keep on flexin girl!Spanish- Yaosca después de terminado su período de sesiones que pensábamos que sería darle un poco de entrevista. Yaosca tiene 23 anos de edad y ella es de Nicaragua. Se mudó a San Juan del Sur hace unos cuatro años. Dijo que San Juan del Sur es su lugar favorito en Nicaragua porque hay mucha gente buena y hay una maravillosa escena social después de horas. Su lugar favorito para comer es “La Dama de pollo” porque hace el mejor gallo pinto. También le gusta bailar con los ojos cerrados para que pueda sentir la música mejor. La última pregunta fue: ¿Quien ganaria en una batalla entre los mayores baddest vs el oso más grande baddest tigre? Ella pensó que el tigre ganaria, porque los tigres son mucho más ágiles. Muchas gracias por la interesante entrevista Yao Ming. Mantenga flexible chica!
The last shot of the day we got the “Pledge” taking off on an alright looking wave. The swell kind of slacked off today but tomorrow the interval is back up and the wind should be golden! So we should be getting some real fun surf. Stay tuned!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s early afternoon solo-session at French Fries. Lesther pretty much had the lineup to himself out there.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was smaller today, but it was cleaner and hitting the sandbar better. So better waves than yesterday even though it was smaller.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. The wind was light, there was still some size, but it was jumbled up out there.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi and welcome to the surf report for today, it is “Lucha Libre” here taking photos before this weekend’s contest. Finally we have offshore wind and some good waves. Check it out.
What do you get when you cross small waves and onshore winds (again)? Boredom. We’ve got photos from SJDS today, in the bay. Waist to chest, onshore and mush. Surfable though, if you want it. This is Carlos.
VICTORY AT SEA! Rainy and stormy conditions all day today. Didn’t bother going to the beach. Are you kidding me? There is no end in sight. If you are a surfer who knows about weather, please email us and let us know when this onshore pattern will stop.
