Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi and thanks for joining us for the Saturday surf report. We are the NSR family bringing you the action from out here at Playa Maderas. Today we went to the beach hoping to score some fun waves and we did. We took a couple of longboards out and Lucha Libre was able to take a few water shots too. The waves were super fun for big pangas and we really had a good day. Check it out.
Later on, D-lite let Lucha use his surfboard but Lucha Libre didn’t get any good waves in the lineup because Pancho Sanchez wanted to ride all the waves that were coming in. Here we have a shot that D-lite took while Lucha was trying to catch a couple on the longboard.
Afterwards, we headed over to the first ever Summer Bar Olympics Games at Mango Rosa. Chad “Cowboy” Unser and Greg “La Panga” Bamford did an amazing job putting this event together. The place was absolutely going off with people there from all over the world eating, drinking and participating in the games. Here is a shot of the scene.
This is NSR’s very own “Pelo Bonito” stretching out for a third place finish in “Beer bottle walking”. NSR dominated the competition with two different teams and placed #1 and #2 overall. We want to thank the Mango Rosa crew for throwing a killer party and inviting us. We’ve already started training for next year…We are supposed to get a nice little bump in the swell tomorrow so check back with us! NSR OUT!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Pancho here with the surf report for Thursday…somewhere in Nicaragua. We’re stoked to have a bump in this late season South Swell. We’ve got consisent overhead sets coming through and the winds stayed light/offshore until about mid-day. Today, we continued to explore the nooks and crannies of the coast and what we found, well, why..
We’ve got Roberto
Not much in the way of waves for today. In fact, you might even say it’s “dead flat”. No big deal though. It’s still super nice at the beach. Here is a group of tourists working on suntans. (notice the flatness in the background)
