Here local stand out from SJDS Roque Lopez displays how much power and energy he puts into his surfing. I’ve been coming down here for the last 8 years or so and I’ve seen how crazy the Nicaraguan local force has been growing over that time – and they only keep getting better and better. It won’t be too long before you start seeing Nica kids on the world stage, especially with surfers like Costa Rican Carlos Munoz helping pave the way. Central America altogether is blowing up with talent right now. A lot of traveling surfers leave their boards behind for the local kids when they leave, so I think that’s helping them out tremendously as well. 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!
