Somewhere in Nicaragua
Before we get started with today’s report, we want to give a big shout out to our good friend Timmy Gras, who hasn’t been here in a while. If you live and surf anywhere near SF, you probably know TG – either personally or for his shapes. He’s a classic guy and this is a classic pose we just had to post. Nice tan TG!
The swell has come up overnight and we’ve got some nice, overhead, crossed-up peaks out here at the beach today. The good news is that it was finally “NOT ONSHORE”. I won’t call it offshore all day, but it was definitely light to no winds and offshore and the waves were fun – all day long! Finally! It looks like the next couple of days could be good as well so stick with us. This is an unknown pale-rider, taking off on a nice set wave.
This guy was ripping all over the place today. If the light would’ve been better, we could’ve had some sick pics of him. Here’s a cool shot (taken as I looked out over the pool of the “New NSR Beach House” (stay tuned in coming weeks for more on that).
Here’s a cool line-up shot from one of our beaches in the SJDS zone. When we get these crossed up swells, almost all of our beaches are super fun and peaky. This shot is from EARLY in the morning…
I said before the lineup was not very crowded today, we only had about 4 or 6 guys in the water including a few locals. Here we have Jose “El Corage” hanging five off the nose. Jose was crushing it on the big panga today.
Finally, some other surfers woke up and decided to catch some of these uncrowded waves with us. Sometimes you just want a couple of friends to paddle out with you.
It’s good to see the local kids getting stoked on the waves. They are dedicated, often waking up to 5 miles to and from this spot – just to get a surf.
This guy was taking advantage of the empty line-up and scoring some good waves today. (Hey man, we have a couple of good sequences of you if you are interested – email us at[email protected]). He almost got barreled on this one. Killer background too.
Here we have this unknown surfer he was catching a lot of waves this morning. He looks super stoked going big with a cool back side maneuver. Good job dude!
This pelican is taking off and so am I! Check back with us tomorrow because we are supposed to have favorable conditions and good swell for the next couple of days.
