Somewhere in Nicaragua

Although it looks straight offshore here, the winds were certainly whirling around and aren’t any help to this place and the the dream wave machine that it typically is, you really need some proper offshores to help hold up those chunks of lots of water that come in on those sets.

The side shores make the wave more crumbly than anything. Thus making this guys disappearing act look like isle 9, 10 and 11…. heck maybe the whole entire store at Walmart after a black Friday holiday stampede! LoL

PD’s looked a little bit cleaner and more groomed, but I only saw this one solo guy out and time seemed to be flying by today with lots to catch up on since it is a Monday. Not a bad shot still, considering he’s a good solid 3/4 to maybe even a mile away from where I’m standing at the beach club.

Never be late to work on Monday…. it just shows you partied too hard on the weekend! Haha in all seriousness, I feel this guys pain even before his feet or whatever body part hit the flats on this one. OUCH!

Small… haha, not for long amigos!

If you like small, enjoy it now, because we have lots of swell lined up for the next while. Matter fact I have some good friends who’ve already past their COVID tests and are on their way here soon for a last minnute stealth trip down for our next round of Big Wave Charlie. That’s my version of naming the next swell…. heck if weather people get to name hurricanes, I think I’m gonna start naming our swells. How do you guys like Charlie?

There’s so much that goes into making a place (ie, surf spot) and it’s waves being even decent, let alone good, to even considered world class. This spot get’s all three of course as there’s not a single place open the planet that has a perfect wave 365 days of the year. But 300+ maybe a little less with an almost A rating makes this place one the best places to come for surf, if you’re a mathematician or a casino junkie and love try and figure out your odds playing with numbers and statistics.

Like the odds of this guy making the landing of this brow-away air.  I call it “Bro-Away” because he’s a bro and he’s throwing his air into the wind with the hopes like its a Hail Mary of surfing and if he scores the landing all HIS bro’s on the beach will be shocked and hooting and hollering and probably run down and victory chair him up the beach and spray and douse him with ice cold Toña’s for his valiant “Bro-away”air that nobody even thought he would even land. Even him! jajaja

See, I can easily persuade you into thinking this place is perfect almost on any given day. But that’s just not how we roll here. What you see is what you get. Pretty much!

This dude actually found (at least while I was down there shooting at this hour) a semi makable decent looking nice little barrel. Not too shabby eh?

Now that I’ve put the word out on the streets about the “Bro-Away”…. I think everyone will be trying them now, not for the glory, but I think for the victory chair and iced cold Toña’s! Haaaa~

Xan (pronounced) Sean, is from the Basque Country and came here to get ready for a big surf contest back in his home land. Luckily for him, he couldn’t have timed it any better as we’re about to get lit up with another juicy swell. But don’t be fooled by his full suit. The water is maybe a tad under the 80 degree mark. I just think that this kid means serous business and to surf in a full suit 100 percent makes you surf differently than surfing so freely in board shorts. I give him props, as he must have been roasting in that thing tho!

Looks like his rail game is sharp, now let’s see how his big wave and pull in barrel game plays out in the next few days. Pony up young buck! You’re about to see some more of that sweet Nicaraguan Calala nector juice also known as Nicaraguan Raw Ocean Power. It’s certinly sweet like the Calala, but be careful as you might get addicted and the next thing you’ll be asking (or quite possibly even begging) your mom as to when can you move here???

Ohhhh, here’s a Calala juice maker…. you like try some of da juice????
