Somewhere in Nicaragua

This guy… or the one who I know is gonna do something big. Mike Doan, always making me like my decision process.

Colin hates birds… J/K, he loves pretty much everything in life, especially birds. Oh and monkeys too! But if you ever doubt his sincere niceness, and confuse it with weakness, he might just show you his personal bird. He owns’ two!

The photos from today certainly make it look a lot more nice than it was; and I only say that from a loudness perspective. It was very loud and way more windy than it looks here.

Mike’s down here a good enough amount of the time that I noticed recently his tans are still on him from the previous trips before.

But then again, he surfs about 4 times a day, multiply that by a week or two and he’s in the sun surfing maybe about 75% of his surf trips. It’s a good thing he’s always looking for shade in any kind of barrels. That or Megan must lather him up head to toe with choke amounts of sunscreen before each session, because he’s devilishly handsome for his age!

Pop quiz question number two for todays surf report : How often do you ever find yourself looking back towards the beach when you see the occasional ripper in the lineup going for another wave and you want to see how big his spray is out the back or what kind OR how big his air might be??? Be honest. I definitely look.

Lesther is one of those guys, who gets the look from most people in the lineup. Usually it’s to see if he came out of the giant barrel he scratches into.

Based on this image alone… one could easily asses that it was “pretty accurately” a few feet on the average sets.

The kids were flipping out today. Literally.

Barrels, or attempted barrels, clear water and offshore winds are always a good combination, anywhere you want to find yourself surfing.

If the entire southern region of the EEUU didn’t already have the establishments, I’d say a great name for a restaurant or bar here would be “Cracker-Barrel” because it’s two of the most commonly found things here in Nica-Land.

The third option, of course would be Cinnabuns’. Unfortunately, that one’s already taken as well.

Here’s a guy who knows a thing or two about the proper full use of his rail bottom turn. I always try and imagine myself surfing like him, like I do here. (anyone who remembers the ol’ VHS flip-flop days, see’s exactly what I’m sayin’ here)!!!

Remember kiddos…. if you want to invoke anything with your surfing (aside from the stoked part)….. style isE V E R Y T H I N G ! ! !

It was a good day out there! Nice to be back and dust off the old image maker. See ya’ll later in the week. SBS a la orden ~
