Somewhere in Nicaragua
Today’s report from Puerto Escondido brings more overhead waves and tired arms from surfing too much. This is a beach where a 7’0″ is considered your shortboard and nobody wears leashes – opting to swim to the beach after every “unmade” ride. They claim that it prevents the boards from breaking so much…hmmmmm. We’ll have to see about that one. Anyway, not to many pics today.
Hey this is annie with the report for today. We got some swell in the water and the winds are blowing offshore.
First we have local ripper Roque. This kid can surf. He’s that guy in the water, the one that glows, you know.
And this is Juanito the regulator’s amigo Chris. They know each other from back in the good ol’ days in Southern CA.
Roberto man, I know she is cute and all, but don’t you think she is a little too young? Ha ha, just kidding, that is his little girl Dagne.
Here is Roberto showing us his new skills in the editing room.
And here is Roberto showing us the first one I took off on…so much for trying to air drop it! There’s nothing like a good wipeout sequence. (Don’t worry mom, I’m just fine, I’ve had some way worse than that, ha ha). Check back to see what we’ll be showing you tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from French Fries. After a long streak of very fun waves, the conditions were finally sub-par. Still ride-able at French Fries though.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s surf report from Pangas and French Fries. The swell didn’t drop nearly as much as forecasted, but it was a little bit smaller. It was very clean and pulsing while I took pictures.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. Surprisingly, the past couple days of swell were just powerful enough for some decent waves to break at our favorite spot.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
We’ve got some small but fun waves coming through at Maderas today. It’s about chest high, with offshore winds.
