Somewhere in Nicaragua
OK, we’ve got a possible clearing trend developing. We’ve still got chest high junk in SJDS, and the beaches are a mess from all the rain. Here is Lester, making the most of it.
Here is young Rex, giving Luis a run for his money busting big airs.
At least the stormy conditions make a killer evening sky…
Check out the “Cara del Jairo”, I mean “Indio” in the background.
When the surf is like this, Agusto breaks out the skateboard.
On a serious note – Kambute – good friend and captain of the Dirty Sanchez had a bad accident last night. He wanted me to tell everyone it was a shark attack at Colorado to help thin out the crowds, but it wasn’t. It was a bar fight here in San Juan Del Sur. He punched through a glass window and a giant shard fell down on his bicep, cutting everything down to the bone. Really, he cut 3 veins, a tendon and almost his whole bicep. It was gruesome to say the least. The good news is that after 50+ stitches, he is recovering in the Rivas hospital. The bad news is that he’s out of commission for the foreseeable future – at least a couple of months. Heal up fast my friend – we need you back in action.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s plus-size swell report from Colorados. There were some good windows throughout the day, but you still needed to be patient and in the right place at the right time. Some epic ones to be found though.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday’s report from Colorados. The swell definitely showed up in force and was even bigger at sunset. A lot of water and sand moving around out there. Check out the size of this wave relative to the surfer going over it.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday morning’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller than yesterday and smaller than forecasted, but it was still clean and playful this morning.
