Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The size was less than I expected and the wind was stronger. That being said there were still a few fun waves on the sets.

Yuji surfed with grace and precision today. Aiden was the one to point Yuji's precision out to me. Both he and Koji are so good at rail to rail surfing, that I had taken it for granted. But upon reviewing the photos I gained a greater appreciation for what Aiden was saying.

Yuji found the higher quality waves, but Koji made the most of what he found out there.

I told you that Yuji found the gems. His foresight and composure can be seen by his patient check-turn down the wave to setup for his bottom-turn.

Perfect technique on display. You can really see the bottom of his board here. That means he's aiming for a sharp, near vertical bottom-turn.

The sharper your bottom-turn is, the more torque you can generate up top. Toruqe is power, but style and composure add to Yuji's aesthetic.

The section was still fairly flat, so Jeison chose the correct move. A carve, not a snap.

The photos make it look better than it was. The sets were decent, but the wait time was prolonged for what should've been a day of pulsing swell. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s late-morning surf report from French Fries. The wind was very strong as forecasted, not quite as ridiculous as forecasted though. French Fries was relatively protected from the wind-chop though. Plus I was graced with a star-studded lineup.

Hi everyone. Welcome to Monday’s surf report primarily from “Spot X”. The size of the waves was a bit smaller today, but the main issue with most of the peaks was the vicious wind.

Happy Sunday folks! Just another offshore windy, but beautiful day here in Nicaragua. The water’s now just starting to get a little more chilly, but still tolerable to trunk it and no rashie (YET!!!) Enjoy ~
