Somewhere in Nicaragua
Buenas tardes amigos! It was a fun but windy Friday. Winds were screaming offshore and we had a little bit of swell, what else could you ask for?
How offshore do YOU think it was?
Just ask this guy. Jaja – can be pretty frustrating at times.
If you go left, you’re going pretty much with the wind, like here.
Try going right, or even doing a cutback and you’ll feel like you’re going against about 100 mph winds in your face.
I’m seriously not even kidding. I was shooting from a monopod today right near the waters edge and I had sand hitting so hard from the feet up. Almost lost my hat 3 times, so had to lock it down to my monopod. Blew shooting a couple of waves because I couldn’t even stay still from the sudden winds gusts… oh the life of offshore windy places haha!
I looked back over my shoulder to see this incredible eye candy.
That last image was from my 100-400mm lens on my camera. This is with my iPhone and still couldn’t get a wide enough shot. That thing was HUGE!
Is it me or does this shot and the water just look incredibly COLD?!?!?!
But believe me when I say, the water’s still ironically very warm, considering how many days we’ve had these NUTSO winds!
T-PEE A-Frame wind swept waves all over. With only 3 or 4 people out. Mmmmmmmm!!!
This little grom has been out quite a bit. Anyone know his name?? I’ve heard he’s “French”?? That’s about all I know.
But I reckon this isn’t all he knows, when it comes to surfing. Little dude’s been ripping!!!
NMRK is a 4:20PM staple at any one of the many afternoon breaks along this stretch of beach.
Really doesn’t matter the angle I get of him….
He’s always ripping!!!
Yeaaaaahhhhhh BUDDY!!!
