Somewhere in Nicaragua

The early bird gets this!

Although it was barely head high on most waves out there today, Yuji here, making it look quite macking (if you’re a grom), still super sick drop little man!

Koji, Juji’s big brother taking off on a similar wave setting himself up for a little tube time and it’s not even 6 o’clock in the AM.

Lane Johnston, one of the amigos I was out shooting today getting his pig dog on for breakfast before he and his amigos take off for Managua.

There’s nothing quite like that early morning light, especially on the rights here in Nica-Land.

and there’s nothing quite like that feeling that gets your heart going early in the morning, when someone yells “OUTSIDE” when you’re sitting way inside not expecting a set like this to roll through.

Kojo and his bro have been getting groomed on these waves long before today, which is why you can see their style is already transforming into some pretty nice form.

Their Papa plays a big part in that! So good to see Brett out surfing with his little mini-me’s today.

Here comes Max. He’s another one of the guys I was shooting today. He’s been surfing his brains out. They arrived with good swell and are leaving with still some pretty incredible waves.

One single cloud passing by could make all the difference of how nicely lit this photo looks. Luckily for this guy, me and you viewers, no clouds attempted to harm our viewing pleasure.

Mike D was out in full force too! Killing it my man!

This wave, particularly the right has this double section of the main bowl, which sometimes makes it hard for some people to make it around that second section hence leaving the wave empty for the better part of of the rest of the wave. Scott, however, knows this wave pretty good. Notice where he’s taking off.

After about 3 or 4 good turns and some fast pumping… he ends off this wave with this nice little lip bash. Because, like G.I. Joe who said it best… “and knowing is half the battle”.

Yeaaaaahhhh BABY!! My amigo and all around super cooler than cool people, BIG Barry “BEAR” dog. aka Todd.  Stoked I got to see link up with you at least once on your shortest of short trips here, EVER!

B-dog making the stealth trip to Nica, while his spring break pubescent teens do, well…. whatever pubescent teens do?? I bet he surfs better than 98% of his class. Hows that mathematical statistic, Señor! jaja

Shane, the other amigo of the amigos getting his last salty Nica-style breakfast quesillo in before that long drive back to the big city.

Koji enjoying every moment of his Sunday funday!

It’s only small for now…. but come Tuesday, we WILL be back in action with what should be some really good surf! Keep your panty hoes on!

Alright my weekend appreciating surf amigos, that’s it for now. As always, thanks for popping by and browsing the surf goods. See ya this week when it’s PUMPING!!! Adíos ~
