Nicaragua Surf Report for Sunday, July 15, 2018

Brian Scott

Hey there and welcome to the Sunday surf report. We still have some pretty small surf out there, so we decided to head up to the ol’ reef and check her out. Seems like everyone else got the memo today as well, so lets go see what was happening up that way.

Mr. Rob showing the non-locals where to sit and take off from at this shifty little wave magnet.

Brian Scott

Oh Heeeeeyyy!! Its Barry’s Birthday and he can SUP if he wants to! Happy Birthday BIG BEAAARR DOG!!!

Brian Scott

Actually Barry was out surfing multiple wave catching machines all session. Here he is back on his trusty Big Old Red Log.

Brian Scott

The dude surfs anything… and he surfs each one well.

Brian Scott

If you’ve ever surfed this wave, you know exactly all too well about this drop/takeoff. It’s a lot of fun, especially the bigger it gets! jaja

Brian Scott

Mostly though this wave is all about making sections and surfing your best on wave faces that can change at any time.

Brian Scott

Floating a section should definitely be in your surfing repertoire at this wave.

Brian Scott

This guy’s going for a huge section… you think he made it??? If so, it’s all fun and games all the way to the sand.

Brian Scott

This is also a good place for a goofy footer to stretch out on their backside technique; since this place is mostly dominated by lefts.

Brian Scott

If you really want to show the crowd you know what you’re doing….

Brian Scott

Just finish a nice clean wrap around with one of these!

Brian Scott

and then come back around with one more of these on the inside.

Brian Scott

and finish with this and I’m pretty certain, you’ll get the nod of almost any wave out there.

Brian Scott

Of course, if you can pull this from your bag of tricks, most people in the lineup will stop surfing all together and just watch you.

Brian Scott

Annnnnnnd then there’s Barry!

Brian Scott

Watching him surf a SUP earlier like it was a longboard cruiser skateboard on the sidewalk…

Brian Scott

and then jump back on his log and do fins first takeoffs.

Brian Scott

The guy’s a mad surfing machine… but with style and grace like Muhammad Ali.

Brian Scott

Big Bear Dog taking it literally all the way into the sand. Well done Brewww!

Brian Scott

Even if you only have one surf fan, it's all that matters!

Brian Scott

I asked Barry to take out my silly little Price Mart board because I was convinced I forgot how to surf. He confirmed my suspicion by saying it’s the hardest surf object he’s ever tired surfing and turning on, thus making me feel a whole lot better! But here he is trying to get get himself a nice little Birthday barrel, on my little PM toy surfboard.

Brian Scott

Long boards, short boards, skim boards, boogie boards, whatever it is that floats your boat, just do it, and be you. Just remember to always be cool in the water. This is what makes all the difference of what kind of surfer you are.

Brian Scott

On a quick little non-surfing related note. This was our morning of fun here at Hacienda Iguana, where Casa Madera’s restaurant has been hosting all of the world cup games every morning with killer breakfasts and hospitality to match each and every day right up to the final today. Congratulations for France with the 2018 world cup win and sorry for all the Croatia fans. It was a good game. Looking forward to the next world cup in 4 years!!!

Brian Scott

Alright my ocean minded friends. It’s been another fun day of waves and another week gone by of all sorts of swell and surf that hopefully tickled your fancy. Come back by again this week to see what we have going on in Nica Land. As always we thank you for checking out the surf report!  Muchísimas gracias ~
