Nicaragua Surf Report for Sunday, December 13, 2009

Hi everybody, this is Miguel bringing you all the action for this Sunday surf report.  Today we went to the beach in the morning to score a few good waves.  When we got there, we were stoked to see the new N. swell we had been expecting is already starting to show.  The waves were a consistent chest to head-high and there were glimmers of hope with some overhead sets!  If you can believe it, this is the same swell that rocked Hawaii about 4 days ago.  Check it out!

On the first shot of the day we have Mauricio from Florida, he was catching some good shots.  Due to the direction of the swell, the rights were dominating today.  Check out the wall on this one!

Here we have one of the many international surfers that we had out there.  The long interval swell also makes for some nice hollow sections.  This is Tadeo from Venezuela he is riding on this beautiful a little barrel.

Out there a lot people in the lineup trying to get a couple good waves.  This is Agustin from Canada, he's going right when he should be going left (or maybe even straight on this one!)

Today we had a couple people in the water used a few boogie.  On this shot we have this unknown surfer riding this small but fun sweet nugget.  Check out the intensity on his face! 

Our very own Carlitos Caliente made it out there and was ripping all over the place as usual.  Here he is going in with a cool barrel on this nice sized wave.

Here we have Luis “La Baloy” Chamorro busting a big air.  Luis was getting lots of airtime today and especially enjoyed the added punch of today's waves.

On this shot we have Augusto “La Gaviota” Chamorro.  He is also a fan of the right-handers and was catching the best set waves of the day.  Remember to stretch out before you go surfing!

Maderas Style Tip #1 - So what you do is first you put your back knee down, lean slightly forward and into the wave keeping your head over your front knee, drag your inside hand in the wave (this not only looks cool, you can use it to adjust your speed in case you get going to fast) and finally, wrap your outside arm around your back and try to touch your opposite elbow.  This is David from Philly, showing you exactly how to do it!

On the last shot of the day we have another unknown surfer having a good time and showing his ability.  Look at him walking in the nose of the board.  You can almost here him saying "Let's go surfin' now, everybody's learnin' how...." 

Alright folks this is all for today.  This N swell is supposed to peak sometime tomorrow so check back with us as we go looking for some waves!
