Whatup guys. Better late than never eh? Kevin here with today's report. There's really no other way to put it, Playa Colorado was firing today. I guess you could say the first solid swell of the season hit yesterday and into today. It was messy and disorganized, and the sandbar isn't quite 100% finished, but it's getting there. Has Colorados awoken from its slumber? Hit the jump and decide for yourself.

Set wave.

check the shorebreak.  This is in like three feet of water

I can tell you one thing, this guy was stoked

I mean, if Playa Colorado is throwing a makeable barrel, does that mean that it's on now?

For those of you in the states, lack of swell is not really a concern in Nicaragua. That's the beauty of this place.

This is Hayden, Sidebar is his.  

Wherever there are good waves, there are Australians. Brazilians too, I've noticed.

Looking deceptively good here,

nice style

check out his foot, it's levitating.  

soul arch ftw

Dude made the right call in not going. Don't let the pics fool you, there were a lot of closeouts

On many waves, the swell overpowered the sandbar, and it was running too fast

When conditions were best, it was big, and it wasn't glassy. It was foamy, there was some backwash, and it was heavy

Beauty, but it's empty for a reason.

this guy was lucky enough to make the drop. Detonated right behind him right atter this shot

Gnarly out there.

Nice stall for the tube

Hayden on another nice wave

Definitely some tubes out there on the best ones if you were lucky

sick drop, this guy was getting some good waves

That feel when you look up and you see wave

Heavy

That stance when you're trying to go as fast as possible

Literally the opposite of that

What a show. I Wonder what these two guys are thinking. Wonder what those guys otutside were thinking.

After barrels, the stoke was high

Look at this mutant wave. Insane

One of the smaller ones. Nice wave

God i love this place

So there you have it.  Colorado was DEFINITELY on today.  Swell dropped rapidly throughout the day though.  Checked Colorado in the morning and it was good, and then checked it again a couple of hours later and it was literally half the size.  It came and went fast, but it was pretty good for the first swell of the year.  Excited to see what comes next.
