Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, September 14, 2018

Brian Scott

HAPPY TGIF EVERYONE!!! Brian here, checking in for the mega hot Friday surf report and I have to tell you, the waves were on FIRE today at Playa Colorado. Press that read more button so you can check it out!

Brian Scott

Chris Conner love this spot when it’s starts to show its real teeth.

Brian Scott

I shot around mid to low tide. As you can see its getting pretty drained out… which was making it really hollow.

Brian Scott

John Campbell, pulling into one of the heavy lefts that were up for grabs today.

Brian Scott

Imagine the view on this beach break beast.

Brian Scott

You know that feeling of being way too far down the line to even make it, yet close enough to feel the spit as it’s slap you in the face for missing such a beautiful wave.

Brian Scott

1, 2, 3 Say CHEEEEEESE!!!!!

Brian Scott

Lesther with a whole lot of real estate on this backdoor looking nugget.

Brian Scott

This gnarly looking sand dragon pretty much, best sums up todays conditions. A bit wild, until someone wants to try and tame one of these monsters. Kei playing hi Nica version of Dungeons and Dragons.

Brian Scott

Hey, look at the one out the back… No the OTHER ONE!

Brian Scott

Today’s rights looked eerily like backdoor, tapering over sand as opposed to reef.

Brian Scott

Either way, I’m sure Kai’s ok with practicing for Pipe here before the Hawaiian season starts in a couple months.

Brian Scott

Kelly Slater actually has a couple secret spots in Latin America I know about where he used to warm up before the contest at Teahupoo in Tahiti.

Brian Scott

Maybe this will be Kei’s warm up zone when he makes the WSL big leagues??

Brian Scott

Only time will tell.

Brian Scott

Luckily, growing up with waves like this, it can easily put you on the surfing world radar when you’re like, under 10; like it did here for Jackson.

Brian Scott

Sticker placement is everything, especially if you’re a barrel specialist.

Brian Scott

Jackson’s a great kid…. aheemmm, excuse me, I mean, fine young man now and he RIPS equally as much as he’s grown.

Brian Scott

Oscar’s backside no hand approach to these barrels are what made Andy irons legendary. It’s the little details.

Brian Scott

Even our laid back amigos were grinding it out with some Oscar the grouch, messy basura looking green nightmares.

Brian Scott

Chris Conner is always capturing his waves with his trademark GoPro mouth view. Here’s one of my many angles of him today.

Brian Scott

And here’s the another. I bet his Gopro “Boca” shots are just as ridiculous!!!

Brian Scott

This angle doesn’t really show you how hollow it is, but trust me when I say, it’s plenty hollow.

Brian Scott

Oscar, same wave, after coming out of a nice deep barrel, going for the 8, 9 or 10… cause kicking out is like eating half your filet mignon and throwing out the rest. Might as well eat the whole thing if it’s good.

Brian Scott

There were some really impressive turns today, considering it was really steep and hollow with not a lot of room for turns out there.

Brian Scott

Kevin loves to put himself in critical places on the waves.

Brian Scott

You might be thinking, well this doesn’t look too critical…

Brian Scott

but if you surf here enough, or surf anywhere enough where a wave does this and you try doing what Kev’s doing here…. you know very well, it’s not as easy as it looks.

Brian Scott

and he made it, with ease!

Brian Scott

Kevin is always watching, which probably explains why he’s so good! Unknown ripper showing Mr. Cortez what’s in his bag of tricks today.

Brian Scott

This was the last sequence I got of the day.

Brian Scott

It’s ridiculously long and incredibly impressive with how Jackson read, drove through and executed this not so perfect barrel.

Brian Scott

I’d say only a handful of any given surfers on this wave would made it. Jackson, always blowing minds anytime he surfs, putting the perfect exclamation point on a perfectly surfed wave today. Stay tuned for the whole sequence later on my IG @nicasurfshots

Brian Scott

Low tide, drained out, offshore, aqua-blue-green thick heavy barrels….. its one way to kick off a great weekend! RIGHT??

Brian Scott

So if don’t already know, we have some amazing swell lined up for a while, so definitely check back as often as you can, OR if you just can’t stand all this beautiful surf porn, book a trip already. Either way, we’ve got you covered!!! See ya mañana, SBS is out, for now!  Saludos ~
