Somewhere in Nicaragua

Josh taking all of his knowledge of this place and putting in on every inch of that thin rail!

The swell had a lot of west in it, hence most of todays photos will be mostly all rights. But If you surfed this place well and chose your waves appropriately, I saw quite of people making some seriously deeeeeeep barrels.

Kevin, making this wave his Beeyaaaaaatch!!!!

Well, this one too! Kev was on fuego!!!!

I felt bad for not even making the trip over to shoot the lefts, but it was 95% all big hollow thumping rights. This left however off the North Amarillo point breaking over the outcropping of rocks was nothing short of spectacular to watch!

World class waves is a pretty demanding title to put on a surf spot. This place earns it…. and a lot of, if not, almost most of the year when it comes to its consistency. This unknown hombre just paid for all of his airfare, accommodation, and any other expenses he threw on his AMEX with just todays session alone!

Offshores were on point. A frame factor wasn’t quite a 10 today, but it was way up there. Now all you had to do today was make the paddle in and the rest was a cakewalk!!! jajaja

See, like BIG Scotty here, making this 4-6 foot (that’s what days forecast was calling it) cramming his 6’5”+ or around there body size in that Nicaraguan drainer! Yeah Scott, good to see you back in you element!

Ohhhhhh, this place can really make you crazy if you’re a surfer. Froth factor can and will go of the richter scale, epically on days like today.

My good buddy Chris D has been having some really bad shoulder issues (as surfers we all can relate and feel for our brothers who are otherwise hindered when it comes to our most beloved activity), but I told him, todays the day if you wanna get super shacked. I was really stoked he even came out, considering his ailment. Yewwwww Chris!!!!

Derek, always making it look easy out there. But that’s what happens when you surf places like Nias, Maldives, Indo, Mysto outer reef breaks all throughout the entire Hawaiian island chain. Let’s just say he’s well traveled when it comes to serious wave of consequence. That and he can hold his breath for like 6 min. WTH?????

I think volleyball will end up taking a backseat today. But Muchisimas gracias for the rad texture that makes this image all that much cooler looking Mr. Volleyball net.

Like I said in the introduction, WOW, what a BANGER of a day of waves!!!

And to think I only shot for maybe 2 hours or a little more late this morning. I think it was firing pretty much the whole day.

When you see an almost perfectly empty wave go by unridden like this….. what do you think??? Really?

I can’ account for the whole day, but one broken board with how solid todays swell was, is a pretty darn good carnage ratio.  Hope it’s as good tomorrow as it was today. Rest up just in case. Mr. Chris will be down there so keep in mind as you’re paddling for each and every wave and you might just make his surf report mañana.
