Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, April 14, 2020

Brian Scott

Happy Tuesday everyone! We had some incredible waves today. Beautiful offshore winds and tropical warm water combined with some juicy swell made for the prefect day.. check it out!

Brian Scott

Here’s one of Dereks in and out barrels from one of his many epic sessions today.

Brian Scott

Anyone up for the mysto lefts???? Come on… it’ll be fun!! Haha

Brian Scott

Stoked to see a few of the regular Panga Drops peeps mixing it up and swapping out big reef drops to sick draining barrels. Yeeeaaahhh Bart!!!

Brian Scott

Some big bombs were coming in all day long. I think this is probably maybe our biggest swell of 2020 so far???

Brian Scott

It was certainly heavy. Who do you think is hunkering down in this army green grenade??

Brian Scott

If you guessed Carlos Perez, you would be correct!!

Brian Scott

Jenna was the only chica that I saw out there, at least while I was shooting. Here she is on her first wave right after paddling out literally less than 5 min before she caught this NUG!

Brian Scott

Daniel was out too getting his comfort level tested with the bigger surf today. Good job buddy!

Brian Scott

The paddle out wasn’t too bad if you timed it right. The really BIG sets were a little bit of a wait, but when they came, you wanted to be sure and be out far enough so you didn’t get cleaned up.

Brian Scott

There were a lot of big drops and big bottom turns. Here’s a couple for comparison. Derek leaning regular footed into this green gem.

Brian Scott

Followed by a stick little mini check turn stall right as the barrel threw right over him.

Brian Scott

How’s this backside no grab goofy footed bottom turn by none other than Mr. Hot Carl.

Brian Scott

Followed by this super sick sweeping backside turn with amazingly beautiful water color as his canvas.

Brian Scott

Like I said, there were some drainers out there. You like?????

Brian Scott

I have to say that the groms were absolutely charging it out there today. Totally fearless, like Yugi here. Of course when you have a small tight little pack of gremmy surfers to compete against out in the lineup, that always helps.

Brian Scott

That and having some world class waves to practice on every single day. Check out Koji’s late drop on this DOH set wave.

Brian Scott

If you don’t go then you’ll never know!

Brian Scott

and of course, like G.I. Joe said…. “Knowing is half the battle”. The other half of the battle is getting over that slight little thing that beats in your chest called fear!

Brian Scott

Dario knows a thing or two about fear. That’s because he likes to indulge in all kinds of ocean type water sports.

 

Brian Scott

The key advice I’ve ever heard from anyone who likes to mess around in the ocean when mother nature is willing to dish out a serving of humble pie…. is to always remember that no matter how bad things get or may seem…. just remember to keep calm!

Brian Scott

It is ok though to get really excited or even throw a claim if you feel the need after finishing a wave like this!

Brian Scott

Thick and juicy…. Yup! Let’s hope it’s still on for tomorrow. Come by to see what Baldo will have in store for you all! See ya then ~
