Welcome to my Friday (well its really Tuesday, but it’s like my Friday cause I get the next two days off after today) surf repot! Haha – and you guys are in for a little treat too as the swell picked up a few feet today and it was another gorgeous January day all the way around here in Nica-land! Enjoy ~

I like to creep out of the bushes (ya, I know that sounds a little weird), but I do like to peep around the corner, or even come up over the sand dunes with my camera already in my hand when I see little moments like this!  It just makes you wanna run and grab your board so you can go play too!

Alberto making a run for his money on a really long and clean and did I already say long right? He get’s the luxury of taking off super deep on his SUP, where he’s already up and riding the wave whereas most regular surfboard surfers are paddling their arms and kicking as hard as they can and you either get lucky and it lets you in, or you get to have that true love Pangas pat on the back where she says, “Yaaaa buddy, this one’s just not for you today”. You all know what I’m talking about too! haha that’s the funny part!

Jenna zoning in on her paddle out spot, and after that she’ll find her zone out there in the football field sized lineup. It’s literally that big! The playing field out there.

Beauty of a late afternoon surf wouldn’t you say? Mmmmm… gives small kine chicken skin when I see perfectly groomed waves like this with hardly anyone out. Very reminiscent of the early 2000’s here.

Solid walls that don’t normally closeout but can give you leg burner runs and be your best friend if you need to work on your rail game. Cause we all know, anyone can get barreled. That’s the easy part, well, having the cajones to pull into big cylinder fast moving water surrounding all of you and beat downs and hold downs that can sometimes make you see stars…..  No biggie right?  Jaja

Remember that very similar empty wave I posted on yesterdays report? Looks very similar, but again could be 1-2 or 4-5 feet. Who knows? Well, only you or me if you happen to be down there this afternoon.

Señor Harrison I can imagine how much it flipped his lid when he got back down here to see his kiddos, expect they’re not quite kiddos much more. They’re like little mini men. Watch out Pops, they’re gonna surpass you’re surfing soon. But I know that’s been your exact plan from the very first waves you pushed them into. Good job Papa Bear!!!!! Nice hack too btw….. don’t worry, I don’t think they’ll grab that torch too soon from you buddy….. However…..

I’ve been keeping a close eye on them, like I have the same with the Springfield boys (ahem) – who are actually real full on Men NOW! It’s a trip watching all the groms coming up here. They are ALL SO unbelievably LUCKY….. I wish I could put that in type font size 100…. everyone here is so blessed and SO FREAKING LUCKY to get to be surfing this place with the current situation that we’re in right now. It’s super special and I hope everyone recognizes that this is a once in a lifetime thing. Enjoy it while it is what it is. P.s. don’t forget to jump on my new year monthly subscription (inside thing if you were here all last season). I’m running it again, so hit me up if you’re stoked on the deal of the century!!!! 🙂

The sunset was so moody tonight I don’t really even have words in my vocabulary to properly give it a proper send off as it fell off into the Deep Pacific Blue ocean. Farewell you hot fireball that give us all life, warmth and one of the best vitamins on the planet. Sweet dreams all you sleepy surfers out there….. Hasta mañana ~
