Somewhere in Nicaragua

Beautiful eh????

The winds kicked up early, so I knew the timing had to be based around that higher tide. Its been the same this way for over a week now. Check out the crew paddling hard to the south as they kept getting wind swept north toward the point, that’s how strong the winds were out there today!

Quinn was one of the magnificent 4 out there today.

The waves are still small, but still surf-able as you can see. We just need one little hiccup of swell! That’s all!

Cam taking the more serious and more short boarder approach style even though he’s playing around on the mini log / egg board. The style is getting there buddy!

Emily the only chica in the crew was showing the boys it’s not just a male sport.

Matter fact she was holding her own…. against the dudes and those stiff offshore winds trying to hold her back on this super wind swept right.

Ahhhhh but them lefts are so forgiving when it comes to those devil winds. Right Em?

Pretty easy swapping wave after wave with each other like a conveyer belt when you have the whole lineup to yourself.

Ok Cam, now lean hard into that bottom turn like you mean it and then you can blast off the top of that upcoming section with all the power and energy you put into that very important bottom turn.

Yaaa that’s the ticket. I know it’s easier said than done, especially with a board with that much volume. But you’re getting the hang!

Uhhhh ohh…. Looks like the Nicaraguan Navy was coming in pretty hot, despite they’re driving directly into those 30 mph winds. By the look of the bow it looked like the boat was gonna flip over if they weren’t careful.

Ohhhh… there was another surfer way way down the way. I didn’t even see him until I saw him paddling for this nice little right peak.

Hahaha, my bad…. it was just some fishermen coming from WAY out at sea. Looks like they’re maybe jamming back to Gigante with probably a really good catch for todays sales in town and or personal family meals or both.

There were actually a couple others that came out to play. Here’s Jaime getting a pretty rad little right, right in front of his condo.

Surfing that wave (pretty well too) all the way into the sand and almost right to his front door.

Not joking. He’s literally just the distance of the sand to his front doorstep. Nice wave buddy!

As I making the trek all the way back from where I started, I caught big John (who was selflessly giving everyone else out there today almost all of the waves) stoked I caught him on this last minute little left right before I lost him completely out of view.

Because this shot was epic and I was super stoked to make it my parting shot for today! Yeah buddy, riding the wave completely backwards. What a stud!!! That’s it for today amigos. Thanks for stopping by ~
