Always really easy going and stoked in and out of the water, big barrel standout and friend Mel Young heads down to Nicaragua during the peak swell season every year and always goes big, whether it’s in big gaping tubes, or normal sized, fun, rippable waves. Photo: Brian Scott/Nica Surf Shots
My name is Brian Scott. I am a freelance photographer from California and recently relocated to Nicaragua, Central America. I enjoy shooting surfing, portraits, empty waves, landscapes and animals of all kinds that are native to this beautiful part of the world. I really try to focus on capturing the surfing lifestyle and essence of Latin America in all its raw beauty–be it locales or explorers alike. I have been coming down to Central America for the past eight years now, and people have always asked me why I choose this of all places. My images show why Nicaragua, to me, is the most beautiful surfing destinations on this planet. Enjoy!
