Nicaragua Surf Report for Saturday, June 30, 2018

Brian Scott

Hey everyone, welcome to the Saturday surf report. Today we had some super fun surf out there, so I decided to jump in the water to get some up close and personal shots. You’re in for a “double” treat today, so hit that read more button and keep scrolling to find out why!

Brian Scott

The morning started out with some beautiful barrels, lighting, offshore winds. Pretty much everything that makes this place so special all of the time.

Brian Scott

Barry loves to dawn patrol.

Brian Scott

Let me rephrase, Barry loves to get shacked while surfing dawn patrol. Yah, that’s much better!

Brian Scott

My amigo and one of the guys I was out shooting with this morning, Eduardo de Meo, setting up for nice little cover up.

Brian Scott

Ohhhh, but wait, isn’t this the same shot, but different angle you ask? Why yes it is!!

Brian Scott

Jasco making himself into a human sushi roll. You are what you eat!!! BTW, the best sushi in Nicaragua (IMHO) You should definitely try “Jaco’s” when you come here! You won’t be disappointed, promise!

Brian Scott

Ok, so I’ll let you in on a little secret. Yes, that’s me in the water shooting. How is it I’m getting all these amazing double angles??

Brian Scott

This is my other amigo, Rafael de Lucca, getting super shacked, while flying the international bird in a deep barrel. Don’t worry, it’s a surfer thing. Kinda like a “shaka”, but not.

Brian Scott

Hsiang Chu, one of the other rippers today in my crew taking off on a absolute gem!

Brian Scott

“Chu, giving me the “O” face!

Brian Scott

and of course a proper “shaka” after one of his many waves today.

Brian Scott

Last but not least of the crew, Lucas Tamiazzo, AKA “Rasta”, bout to pop up and drop in on a nice nugget left.

Brian Scott

Here he is with the sick land angle, which I missed from the water.

Brian Scott

Rasta is so stoked to be here with 3 of his best friends for the first time in Nica-Land. Bienvenido amigos! looking forward to getting many more shots with you this trip.

Brian Scott

I pretty much swam all day, so there was photo ops all up and down the beach. Here my buddy Esteban getting shacked off his melon. Can you say ridiculously shacked?

Brian Scott

Eduardo, taking off on a gnarly, mutant, icky looking beach break monster.

Brian Scott

I’d say the water angle makes it look a little tamer? What do you think? All I can say is, I got my a$$ handed to me when this white water hit me. haha!

Brian Scott

Rafael was determined to get as barreled as much as possible today, since I was in the water swimming.

Brian Scott

Sometimes you line up easily and sometimes, not. Let’s just say, shooting water isn’t a beginner way to start out with your surf photography. 

Brian Scott

Luckily for me I was shooting with some guys who surf well, which makes a big difference with your scoring ratio of good to not-so-good photos.

Brian Scott

Eduardo, cracking a sick one off the lip, shot of course by my mystery photog from the beach.

Brian Scott

Lesther, cracking a sick one off the lip from my perspective.

Brian Scott

There were a lot of my good friends out in the lineup today. One of them being my buddy Rob Dull. Ya amigo, lets get some more shots like these when the next juicy swell comes in later next week.

Brian Scott

Marcos is pretty big dude. So head to toe, you can see the sets were throwing out some nice size waves today.

Brian Scott

This unknown surfer was taking a lot of barrels and getting really deep. Wonder if he knows he’s on one of the most widely viewed surf reports of the day today?

Brian Scott

Speaking of people who like to get barreled and know a thing or two about the longest running surf report in Nicaragua. Say hello to the man, the myth, the legend. Hola, Pancho! Good to see you out in the lineup today!

Brian Scott

Unknown guy, dreamy, glassy prefect wave. Looks like a cover of Surfers Journal or something.

Brian Scott

Enough barrels, how about a commercial break with a turn already.

Brian Scott

Mike is back and literally jumped right into something like this. “Feels so good to be back”, I believe were the first words I heard from him out there today.

Brian Scott

Ohhh, the ocean giveth and the ocean taketh. She’s a unforgiving lady, for sure at times. But she can be your best friend for life if you treat her right!

Brian Scott

My new buddies, Chu, Rasta, Rafael and Eduardo. Good times today. Have fun touring around the country for the next few days and I’ll see you when you get back next week!

Ok, see here’s that weird "ground hog day" double angle thing again? Alright, here’s the skinny…. I’d like to give a huge shout out and gigantic thanks for my partner in crime, Claudia for helping me out each and every day. She’s been a huge support with my work and especially helping with shooting the surf. If you see her out there throw her a shaka! You can’t miss her contagious smile a mile away! Every story has two sides to it, sometimes it’s like a breath of fresh air to see a different perspective from time to time! Remember, a surfer or not, always keep the Aloha alive!! ;)

Where would you rather be??? See ya next time… or tomorrow. Dulces sueños ~
