Somewhere in Nicaragua

Had the pleasure linking up with one of Nicaragua’s finest surf guiding expedition companies today -@Chicabrava& double tag teamed it with my other set of good eyes@Clauflakita. However what set’s them apart is they focus on female surfers and not just any female surfers, but ANY and ALL. . . meaning every skill level you can throw at them. Hurry up and get them boards off the racks so we can go HIT iT!!

As always, part of the allure is always taking the road (or in this case) path less traveled.

We got down there pretty early (round mid morning) but the swell and waves looked to be perfect as this group is mostly in the beginner to semi intermediate level.

But make no mistake about this group. They’d already tasted some of the goods the day before and today they were frothing to get out there and make some more magic happen in these beloved Nicaraguan waves!

From far out takeoffs all the way to the inside sections. The gals were having a BLAST!!!!

Uhhhhh – OHHH!! YEAAAH, then the ocean really appeared. The so called front runners were roping in and especially with that high tide creeping quickly, the Cliffs of the Dogs was detonating like it was the 4th of July!

But that didn’t stop the chicas from turning tail and getting scared out of the water…. I think it almost made them want MORE!!! Reagan on a well sized wave (for what this particular part of beach is touted as “beginners bay” for our little stretch of beach here).

Fanny, “ALL IN” and it’s not even poker night!!! Jaja

Ok, who was pulling my leg today….. beginners Haaaa!!!

Just taking a quick peek down the way at Proper Pangas, Robin getting in on some of todays beginning part of the NEW SWELL!!! Yeaaaahaaaaa!!!

I think we’d all have to give Val the medal of honor out there today . . . she was going NUTS! I mean, this is supposed to be beginner to a little bit intermediate, but zoom in and look at her face (crazy HUGE smile) as she paddles like a maniac for this behemoth!

Shiloh as well. This place usually is a closeout, but there was so much west (or maybe even some combo) there were some really sick makable waves out there.

And the gals who you’d think would have been out there surfing knee high dribblers, were doing the complete, exact opposite!

Well, you can’t be a surf guiding company and not join in on the fun. Claire coming in after missing lots of really fun waves while pushing her ladies into some really fun and memorable (I imagine) waves today!!!

Like the saying goes, “You can’t make dreamwork without the teamwork”. Nicely done Chicas!!!

Swell’s gonna be bigger tomorrow, so we’ll have to see where the Tuesday report will be held tomorrow. Until then, rest up and GET READY for Mañana ~Remember, even if you didn’t make the highlights you can always look at the link here for all theDaily Surf Shotsfrom each day, there might be a good chance you’re in there!AND don’t forget to follow us and always check out our current happenings on our daily Instagram stories hereNSRor my photography hereNica Surf Shots
