Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, November 07, 2007

Hey folks, Pancho here with the surf report for Wednesday. We've finally had some good swell AND weather conditions for the past couple of days and it's good to feel surfed out! We spent the day up in the "Tola Surf Zone" today and scored some of the best waves we've had in a while. The whole crew has been hungry for some waves and it shows. Check it out! Here's a cool line-up shot by Lucha.

We've got some strong, long-interval swell in the water today and it's been THUMPING! This is Michael from Limon about to find out how heavy it is.

Of course we had a Mr. Brown sighting, albeit only in between tube rides. Here he is setting up for another long on.

Check it out, we've got a new member of the NSR Team. His name if Carlito and if you recognize him, you probably know one of the places we surfed today. Really though, this kid is self-taught and has been surfing for less than a year and already he is ripping. Gotta love the young guys!

Did we say it was firing today?

Here is Gray from So. Cal - fully skipping work and going surfing. Don't worry Gray, I'm sure your dad understands.

...and here is one more of Gray - about to get WORKED! Should've pulled out of this one a little sooner man.

Speaking of getting WORKED! Our "Best Wipeout of the Day" award goes out to Olli from the Vamos group. You have to give him credit for charging, but the timing was a little off on this one. Shot 1...

Olli - Shot 2. Come back and see us again soon.

Actually, we can't let today's report go without giving Olli a little credit. He was charging and getting into some nice ones today. This is part of a sequence. (Roberto says it's for sale if you want it Olli)

Everybody say "hi" to Megan who is living down here doing Massage work in the Popoyo area. After a long day of surfing, I'm sure business is good. Look her up when you visit!

Did we mention it was FIRING today?

JJ's just a freak of nature. Every shot we have of him looks good. Here he is pulling an off-the-top-360-thingy.

JJ again, making it look easy. He was trying to tell me how to do this, but it just doesn't translate the same. Maybe I'll try it next time!

Last one for JJ - fins free and back foot off. "Yes", he pulled it. We are glad to have you back man!

Oh wait, who's that? After 5 weeks out of the water it sure was nice to catch a few of these!

How about a big shout out to our good friend Scott visiting from Colorado. Hey man, you're charging out there!

We'd like to take a quick time-out from the report to thank this beautiful lady for supporting NSR. Last year she made a generous donation which enabled 4 local surfers to compete in the International competition in Costa Rica. Thanks and nice to see you!

Mr. Brown doing his thing again. We've got so many barrel sequences of this guy it's hard to pick which ones to post. This is about halfway through a long one.

Have we mentioned that the waves are FIRING today!

Let's not forget our #2 photographer Jairo "Come Pan" Ramos - taking a break from the camera and getting into the action.

Yes D-Lite, I got a couple of waves too.

The afternoon session brought on stronger winds (of the offshore variety) and some bright sun. This is "DAD" down here surfing with his son Eric. He was ripping as hard as any of us.

Hey Eric, we've got a bunch of good shots of you and your dad. Let us know if you want to take some home with you and we'll hook you guys up!

PUNT!

Damn, is that Mr. Brown again?

Here is old man Kenny Kozak showing he can still lay it down with the young kids.

This guy was so photogenic he had his own photographer following him around. Actually, he was ripping and we'll probably see some of these shots in the mags next month. That's all for today. We've got some more swell tomorrow so it's time to rest up. Check back tomorrow! Pancho out.
