Somewhere in Nicaragua
What a DAY Wednesday! Got down there pretty early and found some pretty good Nugs for the early birds, only to be denied by one of our “Third World Problems” when I got home all excited to offload the photos and actually have an early day report, to find that we had a scheduled power outage from 9am-3-4PM (pretty normal thing for around here) – but it helps if you have a back up generator which I don’t. Then once the power finally came back on, I get struck by lighting bolt number two for the day and to my demise having my surge protector (which served me well for over 10 years actually) finally had its last day today. Soooo, I had to quickly run to town and buy a new surge protector, hence the super tardy report. So my apologies, but needless to say, I’m open and I’m honest and that’s my story. . . but besides all that nonsense, let’s finally take a peek at this mornings Bliss!!!
Nothing like getting down to the beach early (especially when the tides rolling right with the timing) and seeing stuffs like this!
The lighting was epic and the swell was still in the perfect head high plus range..
For those who believe in the “early bird gets the worm” can be certain, that the old adage proverb lives strong here in Nicaragua.
It may be a little hard to tell, but there is actually a dude, stuffed super deep in that there, barrel.
Mater a fact, there were plenty a people getting shacked off their melons this morning.
This one just so happens to be Carlos de Colorados. The king Pin of the place!
Following in the footsteps of the real locals here, Kevin Cortez has put in so much water time (not only here – but I think his passport supersedes mine actually) with all of the amazing places he’s been (both competition and free surfing-wise) putting all his local knowledge to use all over the globe.
And do I need say more???
And to think we still haven’t really received our first legitimate swell of the season. Scott looks pretty comfy in our “normal wave height conditions”.
Carlos again on another intimidating banger that MOST would have nothing to do with.
But always reaping the rewards of taking the bull by the horns! Yeaaaah Hermano!!!!
The non-local talent (especially these days) get to come here and not be spotlighted, but often times, overshadowed by the surprisingly 1st generation surfers that absolutely dominate this place. However, not to knock down any newcomers or seasonal pro’s or well sponsored surfers that do frequent this place. Having a lineup full of super high performance surfers (wherever they’re from) is like watching a WSL event LIVE here, minus all the (imho) really awful commercialized surfing and commentary that is obviously dictated from the elite rich and entitled people who bought and paid for what was once one of our most favrote sports to watch, but obviously these days, don’t really even surf or care anyways. eeeeesh, muy triste!
McDreamy. . . OR McNaaaahhh, I’ve seen better????
Perfection to surf is what subjectivity is to art. You can look at it a million different ways, but in the end, it’s really how it make you… YES YOU. . . feel deep down inside! I’m pretty sure Carlos here is feeling pretty darn good!
The old man and the sea. Great classic read/book by Ernest Hemingway. It’s not really a comparative to this image, but in a sense, there is a man in the frame and the sea. Get out there and write your story!!
Jenny with her good morning Aloha shaka! Good vibes all day, sorry for the super late report, but. . . sometimes, in other parts of the world, time does slow down (or in my case I was driving around like a madman) but as long as we keep the narrative going, then we’re always keeping everyone happy, right!?!?!Deacachimba ~Remember, even if you didn’t make the highlights you can always look at the link here for all theDaily Surf Shotsfrom each day, there might be a good chance you’re in there!AND don’t forget to follow us and always check out our current happenings on our daily Instagram stories hereNSRor my photography hereNica Surf Shots
