Nicaragua Surf Report for Thursday, May 17, 2018

Javier Baldovinos

Hey everyone, welcome to another good day of surfing from Nicaragua.

Javier Baldovinos

The waves were pumping today, way over head with good wind almost all day.

Javier Baldovinos

This is the biggest crowd I’ve seen on this spot but, who cares about the crowd when you can score big time… check out this guy’s sequence.

Javier Baldovinos

After taking off outside, he rode the wave for a few yards doing some turns and then put on the breaks aiming for the barrel.

Javier Baldovinos

And a big barrel he got (sorry, I chair got in my way).

Javier Baldovinos

A few frames later he was still there, dipper than before.

Javier Baldovinos

He came out clean and super stoked.

Javier Baldovinos

I bet he felt like Super Man after that barrel! If any of you know this guy, send him this way to check out his wave.

Javier Baldovinos

While the lines were appearing on the back, the front had a perfect spit.

Javier Baldovinos

Nothing better than dragging your hand on a glassy surface.

Javier Baldovinos

This guy got a nice barrel but his last name was not Florence or Slater to escape from that fast section in front of him.

Javier Baldovinos

The crowd was full of tourist but the local cavalry showed up to represent.

Javier Baldovinos

Two of the Santana beach rippers were more than ready to catch some of these beauties (I can't remember this kids' names!)

Javier Baldovinos

Instead of go sit and wait like the rest, they went for the insiders and started surfing wave after wave right away.

Javier Baldovinos

Yes, the insiders are smaller, but they have a better shape overall.

Javier Baldovinos

Arriba Nicaragua!!

Javier Baldovinos

When I said “represent” I meant it. Check out this kid (I still don’t remember his name!) going vertical.

Javier Baldovinos

Throwing the fins out.

Javier Baldovinos

And bringing the board back down the wave, awesome!

Javier Baldovinos

These kids are improving their surfing really fast.

Javier Baldovinos

A big part of their improvement is that they support each other on every wave all the time.

Javier Baldovinos

Here is another barrel from one of the tourists on one of the set waves.

Javier Baldovinos

Everyone is still working normal, just ask Maria who is in charge of Casa Brown (from where I was taking the photos).

Javier Baldovinos

In case you don’t know, Casa Brown went through a whole renovation and is ready to be rented, we are taking the new photos this Saturday so please check it out really soon, it turned out awesome!

Javier Baldovinos

Even though Nicaragua is going through very serious political issues, with protests in many cities, here on the coast is very calm.

Javier Baldovinos

I decided to change location looking for another angle, so I went to Casa Rock for a closer look… by the way, that infinite pool is the perfect spot to be checking this wave.

Javier Baldovinos

Sadly, the tide started to get too high which means that the waves get closer to the reef, getting even sketchier than before.

Javier Baldovinos

It was time to get on the boats and head back home for lunch, then a nap and later a sunset session. Let us help you have an amazing surf trip, contact us to reserve one of our houses right in front of Rosada beach and you won’t need any boat to surf here. Saludos!
