Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola Amigos, asi funcionan las olas en Playa Colorado el dia de hoy! Forget the Kardashians, we like keeping up with the Spanishigans down here in Latin America! jajaja (but don’t laugh, it’s my super bad way of making a “totally Brian” joke – AND for those who know me BEST that’s just what I do) btw-just an FYI, for all you awesome people out there who are truly trying their best at learning the amazing language of Spanish, don’t feel alone or feel like giving up; after living here for so many years, I’ve found so many differences not just by country, but even different regions have their own words and slang terms. So its always fun and interesting to say the least, plus it keeps you on your toes! Now for the some surfing shall we??!!?!!
The swell has dropped considerably. In fact so much, it had Kevin literally “Flipping” out. Yeah Kev!
High noon, high tide, and only a handful of people out. Señor Pelon here carving up this delectable left like a Turkey on Thanksgiving, but with not a single person so share his chompipe with.
What’s funny is, as I am writing up this report right now, it’s pouring down rain. Complete polar opposites from all of todays amazing sunny weather. Glad I shot early and I bet this dude’s glad he paddled those few extra strokes to get into this nice little green machine right.
I truly love or try to mix things up as much as I can, but it’s hard when you’ve shot the same place for over a decade. So finding new angles and viewpoints becomes rather challenging. This, HOWEVER is possibly one of my latest and favorite shots of this beach break. A lot going on here, actually 3 totally different things going on, but I think Kevin (in the middle) is my favorite. Surfing not only backwards (look at his fins and board is completely backwards) but his stance is just classic Kevin, always unpredictable, pushing new boundaries and being a surfing freak of nature, all while being captured at the sam time in-between two other rather normal random surfing peeps. But still this image intrigues me, which is a pretty hard thing to do.
Surfing is for the birds, said every pelican long before surfing was even a thing.
Not a bad day for 2-3 and about as lush as this place gets.
This season has been pretty all over the place. Kinda like its finally caught up with the world and the past 2 or 3 years of mayhem and craziness, but the good thing is, surfing comforts the soul in each of us. One way or another. That age old saying “Only a surfer knows the feeling” is probably one of the most spot on quotes ever thought up!
I know this surfer “knows the feeling”, I just happened to catch him mid feeling for eternity!
Oki doki mi friendly folki! That’s all I have for today. But it’s all down hill from here, at least for the week. Anything else you have in mind will always go back into the jungle where it will stay, always! Come on back for Mr. Chris’s creative captures tomorrow and let’s all hope for another bright and sunny day like we had today.

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.
