Hi there, it´s ¨Lucha Libre¨here with the saturday surf report. Today we have one of the best swell we´ve had during this year and Nicaragua is going XXL. We have solid triple overhead on sets and the wind is perfect offshore!  We've even got Corey Lopez and Chris Ward in town for this swell, but I guess they didn't know about this spot today.  Here's one of the clean-up sets...ouch!

Here is Oliver ¨El Monito¨ Solis going big on a sick wave.  Oliver is hungry for the biggest sets and charges as hard as anybody.  Hey buddy, now you know what i was talking about.

Shot 2 (after the above)...Oliver, come on man, you have to pull into these!  Really though, take a look at this photo - that's a solid 10 footer, breaking top to bottom too!

Really though, we show a lot of photos of him falling, but it's only because Captain Moss CHARGES this place, always nabs the biggest and best waves and pulls into some mean barrels over shallow reef.  This was one of the best waves of the day, inside section.  JJ, where are you man!

Pancho Sanchez managed to take some time off from working and catch a couple of fun ones. Here he is, relaxed, safely out in front of the barrel section.

Here's one last shot of Oliver (the kid takes lots of waves...) slotted on a set wave. Check out Lance, chilling out in the impact zone. Hmmm, now that's what we call a predicament. Actually, the wave closed out, and even though it detonated on Lance's head, he was stoked because Oliver straighted out and didn't kill him.

We surfed a reef in the morning, so it's time to surf the best beach break in Nicaragua. Is it really working?

Here's another shot of Chris, putting on a clinic and making it look too easy.  After watching a few waves, it's easy to see why he's currently ranked #16 on the WCT - he flat out rips.
