Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, June 01, 2018

Brian Scott

Hola everyone and happy TGIF surf report. Checking in a little late today, but for good reason…. I was out playing in some fun surf up north with some friends visiting from Japan today. It was good, so you definitely should keep scrolling on down to see how it went.

Brian Scott

Like they say…. the early bird gets the worm. Well in this case, the early surfer gets the nuggets.

Brian Scott

And so we’re off!! All the while still many were still sleeping in.

Brian Scott

Rolling up to a spot and seeing the look on the faces of your friends faces who have never ever surfed this place, just brings back the same tingling feeling I once had at all of these spots many years ago. Who said surf exploration is dead? Not for these 4 amigos!

Brian Scott

Tatsuro, laying down some mighty fine lines in the early am this morning.

Brian Scott

Smiles for days too after surfing this new wave for the very first time.

Brian Scott

Masayuki, was hyped to surf here too. I’ve love to go back to Japan to see where these guys surf regularly, because I can tell they must have their home break dialed; they came here and surfed this place like they’ve surfed it their whole life.

Brian Scott

The key is to be in the barrel, but I thought this pic was super funny. If you’re gonna go…. GO BIG!! I give this one a 9 for the cartwheel attempt down the wave face just outside the barrel.

Brian Scott

Taka decided to take advantage of NSR’s board rental quiver, over bringing his own personal board down this time around. He said he felt a little off being that it was a different board, but I’d say by the looks of it, he looks like he’s doing just fine… and he has an extra couple hundred bucks left in his pocket instead the airline he flew down on. WIN / WIN!

Brian Scott

3 of the 4 guys were goofy, like this nice turn by Masayuki, so this spot was like a dream wave for them.

Brian Scott

$2000 + dollars to fly from Japan. 20+ hours to get here. Watching your buddy take off under the lip while you paddle back out…. Pricele$$!

Brian Scott

Tatsuro speaks mostly Japanese…

Brian Scott

but somehow we were still talking about the surf, even over our language barrier.

Brian Scott

International face for ‘Stoked”!!!

Brian Scott

Happy turns

Brian Scott

for happy people!

Brian Scott

There definitely were some well overhead sets coming through.

Brian Scott

and like I tell all my surfing amigos, watch that inside section for the rocks. They eat shins, toes and noses of surfboards.

Brian Scott

Luckily Masayuki surfs well enough to heed enough caution to my warnings.

Brian Scott

Sho was sitting the deepest all day.

Brian Scott

so he got some pretty sick turns in throughout the day.

 

Brian Scott

Taking one that far in like he did on this wave certainly credited him a little claim.

Brian Scott

and a big stoked grin on the paddle back out.

Brian Scott

Big turns like this…

Brian Scott

makes for really big smiles like this.

Brian Scott

Big backhand off the bottom turns like these always feel so good when nicely choreographed.

Brian Scott

Especially when it sets you up for a couple of nice backside top turns like this.

Brian Scott

Well, I’d say all in all, it was a pretty epic day out on the open ocean with my new buddies from Japan. Kanpai!!! Saludos amigos ~
