Somewhere in Nicaragua
White sand beach, left point break, head high swell, offshore winds, one guy out…hmmmm. Not a bad Birthday present if you ask me.
After a while, a few others paddled out. I guess it looked too fun to pass up. This is Lars, skipping the World Cup in his home country to make some turns in Nicaragua.
“Hey, somebody told me it could be dangerous to walk this close to the edge of the reef” “Nah, what could happen to us, we’re plenty safe up here”
This is Lars’ good buddy Von Schtickem (I hope we got the spelling right on that one). I think you are the first German surfers we’ve ever met here. Enjoy your trip – you made it on NSR!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Yes! The offshores have returned. It’s been a crazy year for the weather here, but today was back to normal – offshore all day long. We’ve got solid overhead+ swell running today. Check out this nice right hander – it’s bigger than it looks.
