Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, December 22, 2017

Brian Scott

Happy TGIF Everybody!!! Guess what came a little early today….??? That’s right, our annual Christmas swell arrived a little early today and the lucky few who knew, were on it!! Check it out.

Brian Scott

This is kind of becoming a tradition here in Nica-Land. One last epic swell to close off the year… and not a bad early X-mas present either!!

Brian Scott

Hang on there… John G see’s something out the back!

Brian Scott

Ohhhh, that’s just Lesther pulling into the set-wave of the day…

Brian Scott

And getting shacked off of his Holiday NutCracker!

Brian Scott

The tight SJDS crew even knows about this select holiday secret and made their way to this gem wave knowing they’d score.

Brian Scott

I say tight SJDS crew, because that’s my buddy Jersson Barboza dropping in on Rex, two of Nicaragua’s finest surfers from the city in the bay of the Emerald Coast.

Brian Scott

The only difference here is Jersson doesn’t go straight after burning their buddies like some other people in recent surf news. (haha inside WSL joke).

Brian Scott

Jersson spends most of his time behind the lens like me, but as you can see, he’s very skilled in putting the board to the test as well.

Brian Scott

El Jefe, Jamie K nicely bottom turning into what looks like a solid top to bottom wave that we’d normally have in June.

Brian Scott

The scene at the BC was throbbing with a lot of life tonight. Many people in town for the Holidays and spreading Christmas cheer with happy hour ally oops.

Brian Scott

Greg and Leah (pictured here) and the kiddos are back in town. Always good to see my amigos back from the snowy cold weather of Whistler, CA. P.s. How’s that black betty working out for ya Leah??

Brian Scott

I checked the surf periodically throughout the day, starting much earlier and by midday seeing some early little front runners after a nice lunch break at Pili’s to seeing this by the time I made it back down with my camera by late afternoon. If things are looking this good now… I think it’s safe to say, it might be pretty freaking EPIC mañana!

Jairo, aka “Come Pan” one of the original photogs from Nica, NSR & esp the all around SJDS Crew, locking in to some tight shots with his 600mil. I scoped some of his water shots he got a littler earlier and they were pretty mental.

Brian Scott

There were a few little lully moments in between those nice bigger sets, but the locals know exactly what to do in those moments.

Brian Scott

Phi Lou is a consummate perfectionist at anything he does. Here he is perfecting his pig dog. Wait til tomorrow grasshopper and you will definitely have plenty more juice to toy with!

Brian Scott

Black betty only speaks Spanish and she says “Buenas olas hoy ... hasta luego!!”

Brian Scott

Some of the finest conditions with an early Christmas swell… these are just a few of my favorite things!

Brian Scott

Gotta give a big Fat Feliz cumpleaños to this guy.. Happy Birthday DJ~!

Brian Scott

As the sun gives it’s last kiss goodbye, we say adiós por el día! Por favor regresa mañana para las buenas olas!!! ~
