Somewhere in Nicaragua
Welcome and Happy Hump day surf amigos! We had some pretty fun surf out front for this Miércoles… hit that “read more” button and lets get to it shall we.
It was like peak season today out there, minus the peak season crowds. We even had a catamaran with a little dingy cruise up and drop anchor.
There was definitely a little shred fest going on out there.
The water was super warm and had such a nice color to it too.
We had amigos and amigas out there sharing wave after wave.
Maycol… BUDDY! This is day two for two that you’re killing it out there. Stepping it up mi amiguito!!
Look who showed up to join in the Miércoles hump day fun! I swear I did a double take on my phone to make sure it wasn’t actually a Sunday Funday today.
Talking about and oddly good day today we had down at the playa. I turned to look back to see what was thundering off in the distance and I saw this thing looming in on us.
and the tide was peaking high, so I thought, maybe it’s about to get interesting.
Ironically, the shredding was still going down, while the sun was still beaming as nice as ever.
We had the occasional cloud that the sun hid behind for a minute or two, but that dark storm that looked like it was gonna wreck some havoc on our happy hump day seemed to dissipate the more it moved closer to being over the ocean. Thierry here didn’t mind either way. He was having a blast out there on his log catching tons of waves!
Hace Queso aka “Abeja Reina” (ok, I just made that new one up – long story about knick names here on the Ol’ NSR) was out there trying a new setup (board) with a different volume, which looked to be working out really well! Go Heather!!
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship…. Yeah it was one of those kinds of afternoons!
and it was definitely one of these kinds of days too! People out happily shredding the gnar!
The you look up Websters definition of “Awesome Surfing Dads”, this is the image that normally pops up.
Speaking of another cool Dad here, Marcos (who isn’t really a small dude) just about to get barred by this high tide, inside double up, backwash, funky nugget looking thing.
I’m a little bummed nobody bothered to tell me “Guns and Roses” was gonna be here this week… cause obviously Slash was out in full force today.
This must be his solo part?!?
So I have to say, I was pretty impressed with little Soleil’s eagerness to get out there on the boogie today. (p.s. Also nice coaching pops!!)
I’ll say, I was so impressed, I had to give her one of my coveted 9 image sequence spreads for the day! Check out this little amiga!! Smiles for miles all the way to the beach. (*ed note – notice how nicely she recovered from practically doing the scorpion on the take off too!)
There was actually a lot of muchacha representation out there today. I’m personally a fan of this chica’s board shaper of choice. Nice Aftermath, Ian is actually a really good friend of mine and you might recognize some of the big names he shapes for, one being the Big Wave surfer Keala Kennell. So, good to see you’re riding for a legendary shaper like my buddy Ian Wright!
Abeja Reina this tabla might be just the right dims with this new whip you’re dialing in. Now lets get you in some barrels to see how that thing really fits being in your quiver!
Let’s check back in on little grom charger Soleil… Yup, the stoke level is at an all time high!!!
Proud Papa Pancho showing the fam how it’s properly executed. Looking down the line… eyeballing that oncoming section.
Coming off the bottom with the wind up…
and Bammm, smashing that high tide, inside double up, backwash, funky nugget looking thing. (*ed note – you wouldn’t know it by looking at the photos, but Pancho took a pretty good little stab to the inside ankle from a friendly little sting ray and still managed to pull it together to get out there with the fam for a fun surf. Way to go Pancho!!!)
Like they say, the family that _ _ _ _ _ _’s together… well, you know you can fill in the blank with just about anything, but the difference around here is that a lot of families lives revolve around the ocean; which is a lot to say about how these kids will grow up and will be doing lot of good in the future with this kind of upbringing. The youth is our future.. and their future relies on us. So, smile often, live life, love and be kind and the rest will follow… and if you want the bonus ingredient, SURF!! SBS is out ~
