PLAYA COLORADO

Hello everybody from around the world back to this beautiful part of the world that we call home here in Nicaragua. The swell is receding like a 40 something year old’s hairline but there are still some rippable waves to show how good an onshore afternoon of surf can be.

What if the sponsor is on the top of the board? No problem cause Jackson can launch it whichever way.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.

Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
