Somewhere in Nicaragua
Before we get to today’s surf report we wanted to post a community service activity we participated in this morning. NSR, in conjunction with Morgan’s Rock and some other sponsors, was out there picking up trash and teaching the kids about the importance of recycling. It’s amazing that we now have this opportunity in Nicaragua, where people regularly throw plastic and trash in the streets. This event goes to the root of the problem and helps the youngest folks learn better ways to dispose of their trash. It was a big turn-out with over 400 people cleaning about 50km of road. In the end, there was a big party with games, music and drinks for everyone. Special thanks to Morgan’s Rock for organizing the whole thing!
In addition to the kids, we had support from the local police and fire departments.
The water was a little bit chilly and there were a few jellyfishes here and there but that didn’t stop us. Here we have Carlos Caliente picking up probably the best set of the day with his classic, cool style. Looking good man!!!
Pancho Sanchez was able to pick up some nice ones as well. Check him out styling on this sweet left hander. The waves were small but we all had a good time out there.
Waves should be about the same for tomorrow so we’ll be back out there. Until then…
Our affiliate photographer, Mike Dennison, also sent in a couple of cool shots from the Tola region. When the waves are small like this, only a few spots are working. This is one of them. Nice shot John!
Here’s one more shot from Mike – Guru Donald, riding the big board and getting slotted. Thanks for the shots – keep ’em coming. If you guys want to check out what John and Nicawaves are all about, click on the photo and go to his website.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi folks, today in the morning the Peace Passers crew organized a soccer clinic for the local kids at the “The Comunidad Connect” court to give them some pointers on how they can improve their soccer skills. All the kids were super stoked because Peace Passers gave them some new soccer uniforms and now they..
It looks like we are not going to have bigger waves for a long time. It’s chest high on sets out here at Maderas but is still pretty fun, the wind is offshore, the water is chilly and we have some jellyfish around. Check out the lineup.
