Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, July 23, 2018

Javier Baldovinos

Hey everyone, welcome to a new week of great surfing here in Nicaragua. This new swell started to really filling in today, take a look.

Javier Baldovinos

High tide was coming up really quick so the waves were a little bit bouncy.

Javier Baldovinos

Check out the water! It was so blue and clear, really cool!

Javier Baldovinos

Bryan was one of the few surfers out at this time of the day. He was going for the barrels on the big ones.

Javier Baldovinos

But as you may already know, Colorado is a fast wave and you just need to pick the right one.

Javier Baldovinos

And you need to try and keep trying until you find the right wave for you.

Javier Baldovinos

Now let Bryan show you the right way to get barreled at Colorado… *disclaimer: following this steps won’t warranty you getting barreled.

Javier Baldovinos

Depending on the wave, you need to drop in kinda straight to wait for lip to curve and then you do a strong bottom turn to reach the face of the wave.

Javier Baldovinos

Then you put the breaks to stay close to the breaking part.

Javier Baldovinos

Then find your line and stick to it until the barrel covers you.

Javier Baldovinos

Or until you fall.

Javier Baldovinos

And then you try again. Here comes Bryan on a nice bomb.

Javier Baldovinos

Nice looking wave, and Brian’s position is right on the spot.

Javier Baldovinos

Full cover!

Javier Baldovinos

He totally disappeared for a moment.

Javier Baldovinos

Sadly, he disappeared completely.

Javier Baldovinos

Just a little bit North the backwash was doing some serious damages to the waves.

Javier Baldovinos

Felipe from Brazil was also surfing today.

Javier Baldovinos

He was not catching too many waves so he got excited too soon on this one, and the backwash made him lose his balance.

Javier Baldovinos

And lost control of the board and the wave did the rest.

Javier Baldovinos

Right after Felipe’s wave, Bryan went for another one, check him out.

Javier Baldovinos

Finding his line and focusing on the way out.

Javier Baldovinos

Locked in!

Javier Baldovinos

Passing through that little section.

Javier Baldovinos

Fully covered.

Javier Baldovinos

And coming out like nothing just happened. Nicely done Bryan!

Javier Baldovinos

Here is Maria reenacting the barrels she saw from the beach.

Javier Baldovinos

Right after Bryan’s barrel the tide got too high so I decided to take a break and wait for the tide to drop a little to check out another spot.

Javier Baldovinos

Around 4 hours later I went to check this other spot and look who I found… Bryan again, this time going for these long lefts.

Javier Baldovinos

Gray was the other surfer sharing the session with Bryan.

Javier Baldovinos

Damn goofy-footers and Nicaragua’s perfect lefts.

Javier Baldovinos

That’s it for today, come back tomorrow because it’s going to be even bigger! Don’t miss it!
