Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, August 04, 2009

In case you haven't been following - the Billabong ISA World Games are going on right now in Costa Rica.  This is a huge worldwide event featuring the best surfers from around the globe.  Corey Lopez and Benny B are repping th US, Jeremy Flores is there from France, Mick Cambell from Australia, Roy Powers from Hawaii, etc, etc.  You get the picture - there's big time talent in this one.  Nicaragua was also fortunate enough to raise enough funds to send our own team:  Rex, Agusto, Luis, Mario and Corage (from left to right above).  While we aren't expecting an overall victory, it's a great experience for these guys and it would be cool to see one of them take out a big dog!  Click on the photo for live coverage and to check the standings! 

Good luck guys!  Represent.

Hey! It’s Jeremiah “Chewy” bringing you another surf report! Today was pretty small, and I’m from Florida. It was running around waist to shoulder high with a perfect water temp and a pretty hard offshore wind for some of the day. Check it out!

I multi-tasked today, took pictures and did the report, and I didn’t do too bad of a job! Roberto would be so proud! Here is one of the crew with a sick shwack! Dude when you can do shwacks like this you can wear any funny hat you want!

The first place we surfed wasn’t really doing much, but if the right person surfs it it can look good. Here’s Mateo a veteran of this wave with a grab floater thingy.

The second place we surfed was really fun with nobody out! We pulled up and had a fun sesh! Here is (dude) looking for a head dip on this one!

Everybody was frothing to have this point that was reeling to the beach to ourselves!

There were some fun sections that were fast! Everybody was flying down the line all the way to the inside.

Check this out the wave was breaking all the way through! No closeouts, no nothing just a ramp which these aussies found quite rippable!

Everybody jumped out of the boat so fast when we saw the wave break I got to eat everybody lunch while they were surfing!

It wasn’t all fun and games, the rock claimed some egos! Everyone was laughing at him from the boat!

Here’s the last shot of the day, solid thumbs up ready for more? The swell is supposed to start falling in. See you there! North Florida out!

This is Connor Heinz from San Diego CA, surfin' with the Aussie Mob!

This is Rob "Coombie", fearless leader of the Aussie Mob, sporting the latest look in surf fashion.

Here we have the twins, Richard and Rob, showing what good sportsmanship is all about.

This is Dave M. from S. Cal. taking a break from his hosting duties and enjoying a fun looking lefthander.

Last but not least we have the BIG Man - Dexter.  Dexter just became a new father this week to a beautiful baby boy.  Congrats Dexter!

One last shot of the Aussie Mob!  You guys took partying to a whole new level.  We heard your bartenders actually had to suggest drinks because you emptied the tequila stocks.  Nice.  We are stoked you guys had a great time.
