Hi folks this is Roberto “Lucha Libre” and Mateo “Pledge” bringing you the report from the second and final day of the Popopyo Surf Contest. It was a really fun day with a lot of fierce competition. The waves were not as good as yesterday, but they were good enough to allow the competitors to display their skills. We had a pretty good amount people who came out to support all the surfers. Check out what went down.

Alright, now for the surfing. Here we Junior Martinez with one of the best turns of the contest on this left. He was surfing super strong all day, going for power in all of his maneuvers. Was it good enough to bring you to finals? I don’t know, we’ll see…..

But, if he doesn’t win, then the title of the number one surfer in Nicaragua stays with Rex “La Bestia” Calderon. “La Bestia” kept doing things like this all day, which made him one of the toughest competitors. These guys were surfing neck and neck all day, but sometimes the win goes to someone you don’t expect at all...

Here is Darwin “El Brujo” Jacamo, from Limon, with the only air of the contest. It was moves like this that helped him win this heat and to be a big surfer in the contest. “El Brujo” had a really busy day because he was surfing, not only in the Juniors, but in the Open and the International.

Here is another boy from San Juan, Norwin “Chulin” Estrella with a nice lip hit on the inside. It is interesting to see the boys from San Juan del Sur, in general, do better than the boys from Limon and Popoyo. The boys from San Juan grew up surfing Maderas which is not as good as the waves in the Limon and Popoyo area. Maybe it the same reason Florida is a breeding ground for professional talent.

There was a pretty big party last night on the beach in Popoyo which took a lot of victims. A lot of people were suffering from over parting last night. So, consequently we had a big number of people on their backs at the beach today. See if you can pick out who was just relaxing and who had too much fun last night.

Third place goes to Darwin “El Brujo” Jacamo, and then fourth goes to Andrew in black, who is from The Surf Sanctuary.

The last shot of the day we got some scrappy Popoyo kids going at it. Come on guys, love and peace! We would like to say congratulations to all the surfers and say thanks to everyone that helped with the contest. We should be getting some fun waves this week, then maybe a reef swell next weekend. So, we might be back up here with some serious surf. Keep your fingers crossed and check back tomorrow. Lucha and Pledge out!
