Somewhere in Nicaragua

Mr. Chris, we have a few Chris’s here, but mi otro amigo Chris M seen here packing a pretty sick and kinda gnarly shifty and wedging left! Yeah buddy!!!

A few chica’s out there too, getting some nice cover ups!

This is when that morning sunlight was about as nice as I got it, before the rain came. There’s always a clinic going on out there, rain or shine!

My (who once was little buddy – now all grow’d up) Andrew “aka Nemo”, looking like he’s put in quite a bit of time at the ranch, the Kelly Slater Ranch that is, only because this wave looks eerily similar to the fresh water perfect wave, and also since he works for Firewire/Slater Design surfboards, I’m sure he’s put in more wave time there than any other regular surfers. Yeaaahhhhh Nemo!!

Kevin playing in the kiddie pool today. He always loves it when it’s bigger, the better type of scenario. . .

But surfing is surfing and be it, big or small, getting out there is always way more fun than sitting it out just because it’s not super big.

Kinda started to get frothy and chunky with the tide draining out.

But this young lady was surfing like she was in a full on heat, minus the jersey! Hows that Wooo-man Fan!

Jaja – I love Nemo’s new term, I’ve never even heard it used, but when he’s texting me, he’s been calling the small but fun barreling days “fun little taquito barrels”!

But then once he took his 6’ 0” (maybe bigger now?) all I know is he’s, like I said, all grow’d up, this is when he turns his taquito fun barrels into crazy Jordy Smith size man carves!

Kev’s really a freak! haha and I say that with the most respect. Just look a him instead of backside grabbing rail, otherwise known as “pig dogging” he’s stalling backside with his arm behind him up almost in the roof of the lip. Kev, you’re a freak of nature!

Sometimes you just gotta hit the eject button. Low tide and drained out and jumping off in about 2 feet of water.

Not sure if your can see the double up this waves is forming into, and how vertical and out of the wave his board is sideways, but the turn this kid’s doing on this wave is super sick! He stuck it too btw!

And then the rain came so I ran up to the safe shelter of the palapas, while this mystery barrel surfer found his own shelter.

Ok mis amigos, that’s it for the Tuesday report. I wish I could have stayed out a little longer, but the strong offshore winds were actually blowing the rain sideways into the palapas and my camera bad was getting soaked, so I had to pack it up and jam, but hopefully tomorrow will be sunny and nice (crossing fingers)!!
