Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, April 19, 2017

Hello amigos and amigas! This is Parker welcoming you to today’s surf report for Southern Nicaragua. Check out the fun that we have to show you!

I apologize for the late upload- we were too busy enjoying a fun boat day. Besides, today was a special day because…

Today was a special day because it was Hace Queso’s birthday!! Sooooo what did we do??? We took her to her favorite wave to enjoy the afternoon.

She may not like the shootouts and the attention but I’m going to brag on her for a minute. This woman carries so much weight behind the scenes to make NSR’s operations possible. More importantly, she is a loving Mom and highly respected by many.

All smiles on her day!! I mean, what isn’t there to smile about when you score these waves for two hours and then go home to watch the sunset with your family.

Pancho Sanchez deserves some love today too! He has planned Hace Queso's epic birthday day from start to finish. I know he isn't backdooring head high wedges or dropping in on double overhead bombs, but this is his favorite day.

If you didn’t pick up on it yet, we went to a rippable left point. Were the conditions epic? No, not quite. Was it an epic day, empty lineup, and fun people to surf with? Heck yes!!!

Yeah… fun people to surf with!!

Hace Queso invited her friend Alison Phillips. Welcome and let’s see whatcha got!!!

It was Alison’s first time here and she was loving it! She was catching tons of waves, working her way down the 300 yard line, and showing off some turns.

She was charging and taking all the sets that swung wide. Therefore, I didn’t get as many shots of her as I would have liked to. Do you know what that means Alison??? We need to do this again!!

Speaking of wide swinging sets… clean up on isle 4!!!!! Make the sprint and catch the next one- you'll fly down the line all the way to the beach.

Look again at this photo but don’t touch. This angry jellyfish means that the seasons are changing. You can expect softer offshore winds, warmer water, and some hot sun for the next few months. I’ll take the sting with a grain of salt (besides, that jellies will be long gone soon).

I met a couple guy staying with Chris and Renato at the Surf Lodge. This is Paul from Hermosa Beach and yes, he was throwing buckets the whole way down the point!

My friend Dario was out guiding a group. We've had an ongoing discussion for the past couple of weeks for the best pizzeria in Tola. I’m biased towards Nico at La Calabria (Limon 2) but he leans towards Tati at Casa Ananas (Hacienda Iguana). That means you should check both out and enjoy both styles!!

Pancho was shredding today and made plenty of room for his dinner tonight. What’s in the books for Hace Queso’s birthday dinner?!?!

Thinking past dinner, for Hace Queso's birthday, you should (or maybe shouldn't) shave that stache.

Hace Queso, can I throw in one more shootout and I promise I’ll be done? Ok, I’ll take that as a yes. Thank you for always looking out for me, giving me necessary blunt advice, and opening up your home to me. Those are a couple of many reasons why I love working for you guys.

Reason #4: SHWACKKKKK!!!!!

Look who we found!! We love hanging and sharing waves with the Surfari Charters crew. If you’re looking for an all inclusive surfing and fishing package, don’t look any further.

Those boys will get you on some waves and some fish. Here is Señor SUBU saying buenas tardes to an unsuspecting lip.

This just in: Alison Phillips still catching tons of waves and smiling the entire way in AND the entire paddle back out!!

Even if big bad Mr. Pancho wasn’t playing nice #rookieinitiation

Pancho always sticks his tongue out for pictures- evidently while he is spraying friends too. Don't worry Alison, after I put the camera on the boat, Pancho enjoyed watching me lay down a big carve in front of him.

You’d think things would get slow and redundant surfing a rippable wave for three hours but no, it doesn’t. Let me set up your boat to time it against the crowds so you and your friends can trade waves until you can’t paddle anymore.

BUT, it is about time to wrap things up and enjoy the Wednesday pizza deals at Don Eloys! Thank you guys for checking out today’s shots and I hope you enjoyed the report. Stay tuned for this weekend swell (and then even more on the radar!). Feliz crumple Hace Queso!!
