Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Hey guys and welcome to the surf report for Tuesday.  The waves are still super fun out here today.  We've got some bad weather brewing and it's been pretty rainy down here.  The conditions were best in the morning and if you surfed early, you probably scored - after that the wind came onshore.  Check out this guy doing a killer "Soul Arch" and setting up for the barrel.

The waves weren't that big today but there was plenty of power and lots of little barrels for everyone.  This guy was getting shacked all over the place (whoever he is, because we can't see him).

 Another fun little peak goes unridden.  The crowds were light today, probably because of the bad weather.

There were more rights than lefts today.  This shot is a good indication of how things were - kind of grey and overcast, only a few guys out, small but fun waves coming in. 

Meanwhile, Pancho, Heather and Gretchen were back in action with the crew from VA Beach.  The baseball field we are helping with is right in front of a great rivermouth/beach break.  Check out our new "Chocolate Milk" sandbar that just formed this year!  Even the whitewater is brown!!! 

Here we have Willy Fluharty posing with Gretchen and Heather.  Willy and Heather worked pretty hard to organize this project and it was really cool to watch it all come together!

Isn't it nice to see high school kids working!  These guys got down and dirty today and even turn a little concrete by hand!  Nice work you guys! 

This shot was towards the end of the day - putting the last post in place.  Today was a long day and we accomplished a lot.  All the posts for the backstop are now installed, the pitcher's mound has been improved and all we have left to do is fasten the fencing.  I think we are going to try and get a game going with the local team when we are all done, so be sure to check back for that. 

Here's one last wave before we sign off.  The winds are looking bad for the next few days but maybe we'll get some good morning sessions...thanks for checking NSR and please check back tomorrow.
