Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there, it’s Pancho out at the NSR Beach House today. It’s been raining a lot recently so we’ve got an empty house and an empty lineup to go with it. Actually, we have a couple of Aussie rippers in town filming a video and about 5 others. The waves are pumping and there are plenty to go around. This is Hot Carl, drawing the attention of the guys on the beach.
Unfortunately, Hot Carl didn’t make that one…check out what he missed. Did I mention it was FIRING today?
Here is Aussie ripper #1 with a nice off the top sequence in front of the camera. Shot 1.
Shot 2
And just to show he landed it, Shot 4.
We’ve got an election coming up in another week or so and everybody is waiting in suspense. Surfing is the best thing to cure the anxiety of an uncertain future in paradise. This is Popoyo “Boy Band” Jeff, feeling pretty relaxed.
They all weren’t fun and playful out there today. Here’s the Aussie again, going for broke in front of the camera.
ay mate, I don’t reckon you’re goin to make this one. The NSR House is already getting booked up for next year so if you’re thinking of coming down and staying here, you should make your plans soon! Roberto is up next with the report from Maderas.
This is Roberto reporting from Maderas. Hey Pancho I’m so glad you are enjoying your trip at North. We also had pumping swell out here and all the locals guys were out commanding the show. It’s solid over head on sets, sometimes we get some double overhead and the wind is blowing offshore. Here is Kambute at Machete pt.
Oliver El Monito Solis was out of control today. He was ripping, flying and getting some barrels too.
This is Harley from Pavones,CR. Taking the sandy wave.
Ahh, we had a good day. Here is the proof.
Here is Gerardo El Mope Miranda with a nice spray. All of them were surfing and relaxing for the next election.
Here is Codo going left at Machete pt. That’s a nice size wave buddy.
Here is Oliver again with a big bottom turn. That guy was charging everything coming trought.
Here is Ashley with a cool shot. Hey, Where is El Peluchito?
Oliver one more time, getting into a black and white shack.
Luis La Baloy Chamorro was surfing until the sun set. He had a fun session today.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. I saw some of the biggest sets of the year today. There were epic moments, but it was still a bit slow between the high quality waves.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for a few days. The swell today is the largest it has been in about two weeks. It was still slow between the sets, but there were a few one hour windows and pulses.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Today was one of the most beautiful days ever in Nicaragua – not too hot, a slight offshore breeze and perfect blue skies. The only thing we were missing were waves, which after a month of bad weather, were nonexistent on this marvelous day. Nevertheless, it was a beach day and people were taking advantage.
