Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, December 04, 2017

Javier Baldovinos

December is here and that means family and friends gatherings, lots of food and presents for everyone… and Santana was bringing some really nice presents today, check them out!

It was a barrel fest right at high tide… for around 40 minutes, 10 wave sets, set after set, barrel after barrel.

This guy with the rasta traction pad got ton of waves, and really good barrels.

There was a big difference in size between yesterday and today, and Etienne from Las Plumerias was enjoying it.

Now that Emeline, Lady Plumas, is living almost in front of Santana she is always at the best time of the waves.

You can tell the Christmas spirit is near when, after dropping in on a surfer, you get a big smile and a double shaka from him!

Javier Baldovinos

This lonely surfer was at first peak, waiting and waiting for those sets that never came his way, but he knew exactly how to keep himself happy while waiting.

Here is a little sequence of the rasta pad guy inside a nice barrel (I missed the first part of the barrel).

Javier Baldovinos

But who cares about missing the first part of a barrel when you got the best part of the barrel? Super deep!

Javier Baldovinos

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

And he came out clean as a whistle.

As you can see, the lefts were the ones throwing all the barrels, and most of them breaking at the same spot, it looked almost like a point break for a few minutes.

Lady Plumas went too late on this one… she takes the Wipe Out of the Day award!

I’m going to tell you a little story about Crouching Tiger…

… and Hidden Dragon (formerly known as rasta pad guy).

There was a fight between these two characters to see which one was the master of the magic cave.
