Somewhere in Nicaragua
Welcome to the Saturday surf report. This is Roberto “Lucha Libre” and Mateo “Pledge” bringing the action. The waves were firing today! The swell was pumping and the wind was offshore and there were only seven guys in the water. We heading up north and we got some killer shots and some killer barrels. Check it out!
Here is another shot of the lineup. This is a left down the beach just throwing. Since there were so few guys in the water there were a huge number of waves that rolled in unridden just like this.
We brought our buddy Norwin “Chulin” Estrella up here with us. Here he is, on a nice left, super stoked to get into some powerful waves.
Mateo “Pledge” was out there as well enjoying the prime conditions. Here he is getting piped on this left, and yes he did come out.
The wipeout of the day goes to Emir “El Banana.” We not sure what he was trying to do here, but it looks like a sideways dive into the falling lip. He definitely had an interesting strategy for this wave.
Just to show you how much power some of the waves had, take a look at this left. The waves were incredible, and if you pulled into one like this you definitely wanted to make it.
Moving to the next spot we passed by some pros taking advantage of this empty right hand point break. Yeah these guys were loving having this wave to themselves. You might be wondering why we didn’t go out. Well, take a look at the next pictures and find out…
Here is a shot of the lineup of the next wave we surfed. Yeah, here it is looking nearly perfect. Well, it was not perfect, but there were some waves that came pretty dang close.
Alright, now for a wave that will blow your mind. This is Oliver “El Monito” Solis taking off on quite the big wave.
Here he is with the bottom turn and the set up.
And yes, “El Monito” official deep in the green room…..
Really……Yes, he comes out!
Yeah, Oliver was all smiles after that!
The last shot of the day we will leave you with this perfect left. The forecast is showing tomorrow morning with the same conditions as today then by midday the waves barely drop off. So we should have some killer waves again tomorrow. Check back!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The small “gap” days are here! Funnily enough there were still some mini-drainers at Colorados this Wednesday morning.
Happy Tuesday, It’s another fun day of surf here at Playa Colorado. @tonyzphotos bringing you the days action.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey folks, Lucha will be putting up the report later today but before we get to that I wanted to make everyone aware of a KILLER piece of property we just listed. It’s 5 acres, including your very own hilltop, located in the heart of the surf zone. Power will be run to one corner..
Today we’ve got more of the same – a tad bit smaller, but so fun. This is Hot Carl on an in-between-er. Notice his starting position.
We are going to make one last comment on this and then we are going to put the issue to rest and move on. We have received a ridiculous amount of emails regarding yesterday’s post, nearly all of them supporting NSR – Thanks! We appreciate it. We would also like quell any notion that there..
