Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there NSR surf fans. Can I just start off by saying today was FREAKING amazing! The surf, the light, the water, the lighting of the water & the color combined… oh and did I mention the surf….INSANE!! November never EVER felt better!
Usually as a photographer we need to do a little adjusting in post to help with the end product.
Let’s just say, today was a magical experience in all departments.
Carlos, on a leg up advantage of his barrel prowess skills…. once again.
There was so much ripping and shredding going down…..
I pretty much forgot that we were even in November.
Stop and Go, thinking about wether or not to “Stop or Go!”
Oscar just decided, the hell with it, and took the first direct flight to Liberia.
Meanwhile, up at the reef… there were a few fisherman.
Overhead, glassy, insanely warm tropical water…. remind me how good your surf spot was today?
Nam balls stalling on a midday nugget.
Grant’s been super stoked on the end of season surf here.
If you need a good example of this fact. Here ya go!
I get asked a lot about when the best time to come here is… and I usually end up explaining, in detail, how each month works here; from March to September.
But even after living here for 7 years full time.
I good schooled by mother nature and here endless nature of unpredictably-ness.
Tony will always take good pictures of you and for sure, salute YOU in the progress!
Not only did we have beautiful lighting today, but we also had some beautiful surfers in the lineup. Get it Rutci!
What’s better than dropping into sick wave, than in front of your wife. Carlos showing Rutci, and us viewers, how a surfing power couple work well together here in Nica.
Like I said, the lighting and water color today was insane! Oh and btw that’s Costa Rica in the background.
Ripping!!!!
How well do you know this feeling???
Carlos on a runner… backlit and ribs in the face added bonus.
Rutci on a Colgate frothy looking one!
Hows your air game in surf trunks, over 75+ degree water? If yours includes rubber and booties, deduct 20 points of your life game. I don’t care what Surfer, Surfing or Stab Magazine says. They’re lying.
Carlos, about to pull into a November dream of a wave today.
John’s been getting ready for our annual chompipe surf contest that’s gonna take place a little later this month. Looks like he’s in well form!
Come on, don’t lie, you mind surfed this and you knew exactly what you were gonna do, exactly off this bottom turn.
T-Nizzle dropping in on this left, like he’s done for nearly the last decade.
Like they say… local knowledge is key!
Tati, all though doenst have as long as a history here as TZ, yet she shows her extreme passion for the love of this wave we all call home. Sick one Chica!!!
Rutci, backlit, on a picture perfect, sheet glass beauty of a cutback!
Her husband fowling up with a backside pig-dog gem of his own.
Antonella, much like a lot of the others mentioned here today has put in a lot of personal time to accomplish this wave. Looks like she’s well on her way… wouldn’t you agree?
Mystery man of the day goes to…..
You can’t fly any kind of bird without soaring as good as the best. TZ is the flock of seagulls!
If I have to give a good example of the surf today… this would be it.
and this would be the exclamation point!!!!!!!!!!
Water color perfection all wrapped up in a (what most of us surfers) would call the best surf size we all call FUN!
Mike Doan, respectfully gets my parting surfing shot for today…. as perfect is it was, this shot of his turn gave me a photographic boner! Epic light, sick wave and sick turn amigo!!!!
Alright my surf brethren and sisters. I hope you enjoyed todays special report. This was a really incredible day here in Nica Land. We do thrive to give you the very best every single day, but today was simply magical. I hope you enjoyed! PEACE ~
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The small “gap” days are here! Funnily enough there were still some mini-drainers at Colorados this Wednesday morning.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
This is a wave from one of the sets, what do you think, a little bit bigger or not? At least they still have a good shape.
