Somewhere in Nicaragua
There were some nice waves today, but definitely still a bit almondy and racey. I like this guy’s deep takeoff, but I hope he managed to squeeze a couple pumps in through this tube.
After getting shacked, per usual, Carlos finished this wave with his signature layback carve. If you’ve surfed with Carlos on a good day you’ve likely seen this one a few times!
Finley was busting some of his own big moves out there this morning. Ditching his fins and sliding across the lip!
This local fella getting cozy on his rail on this insider left. I like how he’s using and rotating his arms through this cutback.
Finley shooting for the stars again! I still think he should slap a third deck pad up on the nose given how far up he slides his front foot during his airs!
This local (I think) Nicaraguan fella logged some time in the shade today! He did well to find this super round right and tuck in with ease.
The young guns were fired up today! This guy working on his helicopter spins today despite there being some tubes up for grabs.
I don’t know what you’d call this move (Do you have any ideas reader?), but Asher got some crazy waves today. I would be pretty nervous trying to ride out of this move, but Asher had the bull by the horns here!
Carlos performing one of his signature lip-line floaters on this little inside runner. He cleaned house today during his session!
Asher must’ve taken a note from Carlos’ book! Although I liked Carlos’ style better, Asher’s floater here is definitely more critical.
Alrighty amigos, that wraps it up for today! There were some nice waves and a good variety of moves executed by today’s surfers. Tomorrow looks like it should be really clean, but a bit smaller. Stay tuned to see how this little swell progresses mañana.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. I saw some of the biggest sets of the year today. There were epic moments, but it was still a bit slow between the high quality waves.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for a few days. The swell today is the largest it has been in about two weeks. It was still slow between the sets, but there were a few one hour windows and pulses.
