Nicaragua Surf Report for Sunday, August 22, 2010

It was raining cats and dogs during the whole night through this morning, so all the rivers and water falls were flowing as hell.  This is been one of the most rainy months so far but we are not complaining because we needed it.  Thanks to Frank (Tropical Storm) we are getting lot of changes in our winds and it is making our waves look a little weird.  Check it out!!!

There still was lot of swell in the water so we definitely had to charge out there to score some fun ones.  This is AJ about to climb down that giant water mountain. 

This is Jason with a solid and deep bottom turn on this nice sized left.  Way to go buddy!!!

Miles was killing it as always.  Check him out going big with a sweet round house on his 5'10. 

This is Andrew picking up one of the cleaner set waves of the day.  He scored a couple of fun waves at this spot and now he is ready to shred out tomorrow.

There were some pretty sick sets rolling in with no takers.  Who said we do not have good waves when we have some storm patterns around!

 A few unknown riders were out ripping all over the place.  Here I caught this one with a solid frontside turn on this peeler.

We literaly surfed until dark tonight.  It was almost pretty hard to keep taking photos and you can see it on this shot.  It's a little dark but it still looks kinda cool, isn't it?

Here's a couple of the fellas, chillin' out and talkin' a little story after a good session.

It wasn't quite as big as yesterday, but we definitely still had some strong waves coming in.  It was still enough to make some of our seldom surfed slabs break.  We headed back out today with the intention of getting some good photos...and we would have, except that it rained almost the whole time and we couldn't bring out the camera.  Regardless of "getting the shot", good waves were had by all - even if it was in the rain.  By the time the skies cleared, the tide was getting bad and most of the waves had stopped...most of them, but not all of them.  Here's one of the many empties that went by unridden.

Sean grabbed a few solid ones today.  He was the only backside surfer out and he was charging.  This wave stands up so fast and hucks huge barrels on a shallow reef.  You can see on this shot that most of the wave is well below sea level.

Here's a funny shot of me on the inside of small one.  My best waves went undocumented today due to the inclement weather but I liked this shot for some reason.

Here's a cool shot of another empty growler passing right underneath us.  It was hard enough to line up in the right spot for waves like this and some of these things were impossible to catch no matter where you were sitting.  Where would you drop in on this one?

That's all for today folks!  We hope you enjoyed he photos.  We've got some insane waves coming for the next couple of weeks, so definitely check back with us.  The wind is supposed to be variable, but I'm sure we'll be able to find some waves in the mornings.  Pancho out!
