PLAYA COLORADO
Hello everybody and welcome to the NSR surf report with Parker! It isn’t even noon yet and it has already been an awesome day of surf. The waves are filling in and everybody is scoring! Check it out primos.
It was a touch windy today. However, that’s perfect because it’s straight offshore!! The wind held up the wave perfectly.
Not to mention how the offshore helps the barrel. This surfer caught the first tube of the session. Yeww!
Nice tube my friend and I bet it looked cool from your GoPro mouth set up! In order to capture the entire wave, hit us up for the other angle.
Derek lives in Gigante and decided to take a short vacation in one of our Casitas. I can understand why he visited becasue we have the best barrels!!
On the next wave, he showed us that he can do more than just riding a tube.
Some friends from Florida and I watched the right peak all morning. Come on guys- y’all need to get on it!!
As soon as we looked over, we saw Lesther walking out scoping out the tubes. Shapeshifters, an extremely versatile board shaping company, is sponsoring him. The interchangable tails are perfect to mod a surfer’s board depending on the tide’s conditions.
Derek’s sweet stache must give him super powers in the barrel. No wonder two pretty ladies wanted to travel with him……
Shine lives close by in Amarillo. He is known for finding a set wave and taking a dangerously close drop in.
But he is just as famous for tucking into the spot… Yeah man!!
Mando is a super cool local and a great surfer. Out of the water, he also knows how to tear up the dance floor! No wonder the ladies flocked to him, Elvin, me at the NSR party.
Here is a beautiful left to leave you on! Man, image yourself on that untouched gem… Make sure y’all check back with us later because I am trying to find a ride to shoot the incoming tide at Outer Reef. Thank you for checking out the sick shots from today! Adios amigos!!
After lunch, we headed up north to Popoyo and arrived at high tide. Unfortunately, the wind was a bit strong on the Outer Reef so we surfed the inside reef. Check out the shots!
Left to right: Jameson (our master of party hype), Carl (a still stoked Golden State fan), and Chris (some guy who needs a hair cut) headed out to catch a few big ones! Get some guys!!
The wave at Popoyo has soft faces that are rippable. Carl is showing us how it’s done.
It was slightly cloudy today but when they let up, the water showed off its pretty blues. Carl is also helping throw some water around too!
After jamming the lip, Carl popped a floater. I’m not seeking a raise or promotion, but he does do it all…
Jameson did a killer job holding down our party’s music last Saturday. When he’s not jamming, he likes to throw some buckets off the back of the wave!
When we called Chris to jump in the car, he shot his hand up like this. Maybe he just wanted to wave to me on at the perch?
Some locals were out there throwing a fat cutback. He almost threw his fins out!!
Carl is use to taming barrels (especially Outer Reef) but I guess he had to settle for some man turns.
Being from the East Coast, I had no idea what to do with such a long left!!
But I think I can get use to surfing here. Thank you Carl for loaning your board to me and Chris for holding down the camera!
Jameson has been so stoked to surf warm water with great waves. Next time you visit us, we will charge Outer Reef!
Chris ended his session on a screaming left. In the next photo, he acted like he was claiming a stand up barrel… Kids these days…
Alright guys thank you for looking at our session from Popoyo this afternoon! Make sure you keep your browser loaded so you only need to refresh and see more great swell tomorrow. It’s almost Parker’s bedtime so buenos noches primos!!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.
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.
