Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everybody welcome to the tube festival, we are Lucha Libre, The 40 year old intern and Come Pan Panic with the Friday Surf report from one of the sickest spot in Nicaragua. The waves were super fun today finally after a couple of bad days with onshore wind. The line up was a little crowded today but everybody was kind of mellow out there and all the surfers were sharing the waves. It was head high to over head on sets with off shore wind all day long and the water was warm Check it out.
We are going to start the day with a 40 year old intern shot, who was able to paddle out today and scored a couple fun waves. Here he is caught getting deep.
On the first surfing shot of this crew we have Nick “Chiltotipinyuki” Nelson getting shacked on one of the many barrels he had today. He adapted very well to the conditions on one our favorite breaks.
While I was taking photos from the beach we had Jairo Come Pan doing his thing with the water camera. Here he is catching Jared “Al Dentro” Vandegriff on a nice left tube. Jared told us that this is the best photo of his life and he was super stoked.
Corey “The Belly Jiggler” Oswald showing off his smooth California style with a deep shack. We had a hard time deciding what picture to post because he had so many good photos.
Between Jairo and Roberto, we took over 1600 pictures today, so if you were in the water today there is a good chance that we have good photos of you. Make sure to check out NSR Surf Shots to see if you got the photo of your life. We had so many barrel pictures to post that we wanted to show everyone that the waves were super playful as well. Here is shot of Chiltotipinyuki to prove it.
Here we have a shot of Mr Brown doing what he does best. Getting deep all day long!!!
Jairo got a sweet sequence from the water. This guy is super stoked to take all these shots home with him.
Here is one our friends from Surfari Charters with one of the best barrel shots of the day. We wanted to leave you with this final shot to show how good Jairo is getting with the water camera. Tomorrow the waves are supposed to be a little smaller, we will wait and see. Check back!!!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
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.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the onshore surf report from Maderas. It’s chest to shoulder high on sets out here and the wind isn’t that well. Anyway we made it out in the morning and catch some rideable mushy waves.
Roberto with the surf report and spanish class for today. It’s head high on sets and the wind is blowing offshore. All the beach is crowded but everybody is getting so fun out there at Maderas today.
Another day, more perfect waves. I tweaked my neck two days ago and swore I would rest it…after this swell. Today we’ve got slightly overhead sets and morning offshore winds – the wind turned around in the afternoon. It didn’t matter because we’d already surfed for 5 hours. This is Kike, a Las Salinas local.
