Somewhere in Nicaragua

Koji, Yuji and Sensai himself Papa Brett! Always ready to surf, golf, or play an intense game of volleyball and not in that particular order. (well maybe surfing still reigns numero uno for this always smiling trio!)

Splitting peaks here is as common as how often you would see a gas station in the big cities. They’re abundant.

Our only problem here, is there are lot of gas stations (metaphor in this case used as the waves of course)  and only so many cars and people (another metaphor for people and their surfboards) to utilize all those filler up stations. Jenna going for Full-Full today….. in other words, “Fill’er UP!”

Brett gettin in on some of the goofy side of this split peaking action… and on his trusty log of a mini tanker that guaranteed him way over his optimal quota of waves today.

Not bad for a regular short-boarder, eh mates? See I can say that… he’s Aussie!

Another fun spectacle of the high tide and shooting during this time is the very occasional big wave backwash that can either buck you off the wave, or enhance the wave sometimes making it look twice as big. Scotty’s got this one under control, whereas I think most people wouldn’t have made the 8 second bucking bronco!

Emily had her own peak waaaaaaay down the beach almost directly right in front of her front doorstep. Nice turn Amiga!!!

Does your daily surf spot have a cool backdrop behind it like here? We have quite a few here in Nica-Land and each wave has its own personality that even goes with it. Mostly lefts, but we have some really sick secret slab rights somewhere within close proximity too!

I noticed there were quite a few beginner youngens out there this afternoon trying their hand at the ever addicting activity we all love so much…. “SURFIN’”, but this little one seemed to be advancing rather quickly to intermediate pretty fast. I saw all the waves. This one is naturally talented, I can tell!

But in reality surfing is pretty easy… you just got hang on for the ride! The secret ingrediant……. Ballance!!!! You got this dude!

You see what a few years of everyday practice turns out to look like!

Two sick turns from two of todays best gremmie shredders out there in the lineup. Nice ones my dudes!!!

It’s like art imitating life, or in this case life imitating life. We all are born the same way (pretty much) we all enter the water and part the beach the same (pretty much).  Here’s me parting out my last shots for the day and the weekend as well. Hope you enjoyed hanging out this weekend with me.I will see you all once again tomorrow as I’m on report duties for a bit until our other favorite surf comic / reporter and all around chill duder, Mr. Chris comes back.C-ya Mañana  ~
