Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, July 08, 2020

Javier Baldovinos

Hello everyone, welcome to another Wednesday of surfing in Nicaragua. Today I will dedicate this report to the luckiest man in the area, check him out... even the waves think that.

Javier Baldovinos

All of you have seen his name but none of you have met him, I'm talking about Chris Russell, NSR's new Concierge and Surf Reporter.

Javier Baldovinos

I said Chris is the luckiest man because he came to Nicaragua for his new job right before the world shut down due to COVID-19.

Basically Chris quarantine himself in Paradise, surfing uncrowded waves, and because of social distancing and lack of tourists, his Concierge duties are almost none. So, what to do? he's been learning a bunch of things, one of them is a hang ten handstand!

Javier Baldovinos

Don't get me wrong, he's been working a lot, specially with Social Media duties... have you noticed all the NSR's Instagram content with tons of posts and Stories every day?

Chris is also working on his style, as you can see here... just chillin' before going to work.

Look who was also surfing today... Kenny getting a nice right and finding a bit of cover.

Seth was also out there enjoying the small conditions before work.

One of our regular visitors Dr. Nicolas Ibañez, a physiotherapist from Managua getting his own therapy session at Colorado. Check out his practice at @fisiomednic.

This is interesting... unknown surfer getting the barrel view, without getting in the barrel :)

Going back to the luckiest man... besides getting to play on the waves every day, he also gets to play with a drone every day! He's been dedicating a lot of time to learn how to fly the drone to get aerial videos, then learning how to edit those videos... and he's getting good really quick at both!

Everyone knows that working at NSR is super fun and Chris is definitely enjoying this job, he's committed, thankful and loving this experience.

Imagine Chris' face in the future when his grandsons and granddaughters ask him about how was his life during the pandemic... Chris, please promise me that you will show them this surf report when that moment comes.

Javier Baldovinos

"kids... it was a difficult time, the pandemic put the world up side down... or was it just me and my hang ten handstand?"

Javier Baldovinos

Oh uh! looks like Chris overrotated on his handstand!

Javier Baldovinos

He's still holding tight on that nose! Impecable overall performance, dominating the lineup with his longboard skills! Check out his leash hahaha!

Why I'm not surprise to see John finding a perfect little barrel?

Well, now that you know who the "new Parker" is, it's time to plan your next vacation as soon as the international flights to Nicaragua open up, so you can meet Chris in person, and share some waves with him. Have a great week everyone!
