Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi folks, this is Lucha Libre bringing you the action of the Saturday surf report from Maderas. The waves were kind of small today running about chest high on sets, with off shore wind and the water was cool. Today we took out our new intern who you are going to know in the next picture so look forward.
Let’s start with the action. On the first surfing shot of the day we have Augusto “La Gaviota” Chamorro with a sweet snap on this left. This guy is a great surfer and he is still looking for somebody who wants to support his surf.
A couple of girls paddled out today and were riding some fun looking waves. Here is one of them going all the way in to the beach on a clean one.
Here we have Grant “El Cunado” on the last shot of the day with a sweet backside move. The swell is supposed to pick up tomorrow, so check back with us.
Later on, on the way back home we decided to take a look on the new Skate Pit we have at Los Miradores in San Juan del Sur. Here we Have Caleb who was one of the 3 guys that built this thing to have fun.
This is little Brent who was testing out his own Skate Pit. He was part of this building as well. It took them a week to make this dream come true and today they were enjoying it for first time.
Augusto “La Gaviota” was representing his girlfriend Lindsay who was the other person who contributed to make this Skate Pit. Even when he’s doing skate, he keeps flying away.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome back to the surf report out here at Maderas today. It is running about head high to overhead on sets and the wind is offshore but we have a tons of jelly fish in the water.
Still in Puerto (man, it’s tough to leave this place)- we’ve still got big, perfect barrels coming in out here. A couple of them get by unridden and create classic photos.
OK, so we’ve got some killer water shots sent in by Brent at Arena Caliente. We are taking a vacation this week (read: we are not in Nicaragua), but we hope to have plenty of pictures and reports sent in from our affiliates. Thanks Brent! We’ve got chest to head high sets today at Maderas..
