You heard it here first - By making the Quarterfinals of the Pipe contest, Mick Fanning is the new 2009 World Champ!  Parko had a chance to win, but lost earlier today, making it automatic for Eugene.  Congrats Mick!  By the way, if you aren't watching the contest, click here and go check it out.  Waves are 6 to 8 feet and perfect!  Now, back to Nicaragua... 

It is Lucha Libre here with the Saturday surf report.  Today we headed out to the beach expecting to ride some small but fun waves but when we first got there surprisily we saw some sweet waves coming in.  It was running about chest to head high with some sporadic over head waves on sets here and there.  The wind was offshore and the water is still pretty clear and chilly.  Check it out!!!

We thought that the waves were going to be small, so Pancho Sanchez grabbed one of his big boards and made it out.  When we arrived to the beach we found some head high waves coming in and he had no choice, he had to paddle out on the big panga because he didn’t bring his shortboard.  Check him out looking good on this sick right hander.  Hey buddy, next time you should try to do some backdoor barrels on that thing!

Randy “El Bambino” made the same call and took a big board out.  After a while they made a phone call to Carlitos Caleinte but it was too late when he got to the beach because the waves got smaller and soft as soon as the tide came in.  Anyway, Randy gave it a try on the big board and scored some really fun waves.  Here he is setting up for the barrel section!

Lot’s of locals were out destroying every single wave they had.  This is Rex “La Bestia” Calderon with a cool spray on this section.  He’s just back from Hawaii and it looks like he got better surfing skills now.

We had a couple waves barreling today but they were really hard to find.  We always say please respect the locals but this time we are going to say PLEASE RESPECT THE WAVES.  That wave probably was going to be the sickest barrel of the day.  Do you want somebody to do that to you?  I don’t think so, uh!!!

Augusto “La Gaviota” Chamorro was one of the many local rippers we had out there taking advantage on the nice waves.  Here we have a cool shot of him expanding his wings to make this round house look easy.

There were some international surfers out as well, scoring many good waves.  This is Gas from Australia looking down the line of this beautiful right.

This is Caleb going off the top of this small but nice wave.  He’s one of the local gringos that enjoy the Nica waves every single day.  What a beautiful angle, don’t you think so?

On the last shot of the day we have Norwin “El Chulin” Estrella with a sick shot, looking into the barrel.  That’s “La Gaviota” on the shoulder, hoping to be inside there.  We hope to have some good waves tomorrow as well, never know.  Hey Panchito, do not forget to bring your shortboard my friend!!!
