Somewhere in Nicaragua

I asked John today if he’s had enough (sorta jokingly) because we all know everyone has been maxed to the brim with insanely epic waves with this (what seemed to be never ending swell). He quickly replied with a very eager and excited response that we we are due for yet another really good swell this coming week or very soon again.

And it don’t STOP!

Well, maybe for Liam, since has to go back to Managua (actually when he got out of the water, he said he was trying to run home down the beach as quickly as he could because they were leaving back for the city right then). So talk about milking your surf last sessions down to the very last minute. But he said he’ll be back in a week, so I think he’ll be ok and completely withdrawl free!

Peter on a really milky frothy one! Kinda hard to put your pig-dogging to test riding on complete foam. And no I’m not saying he’s on a soft top ether.

Hey John, so tell me why you chose Nicaragua as your retirement home again?

This guy might not be retired, but I bet you he’s gotta be pretty tired from all the surfing he’s put in over the last few days.

Same with this guy too. If you came here and it just so happened to be your first time to Nicaragua, you will most definitely feel that rush and sudden urge to start plotting your way to make a living down here. It happens A LOT!

You would think Hernan is pretty much a certified Iguana’s long time local. He actual makes the super hot and long traitorous walk every day over to PC’s anytime this place has any hiccup of swell. He’s also a good friend of mine and surfs this place better than most of the actual people who live here and surf it daily, which is saying something.

I keep him in the loop when its good here, and he does the same for me for certain secret little nooks and crannies over in his neck of the woods. Luckily we don’t have to send smoke signals anymore…. since Claro came along a few years ago we can now chat via WhatsApp… jaja!

Don’t know who this guy is throwing down one heck of a seriously badd a$$ turn, but buddy, sick one!!!

This place is so consistent, I actually just looked back at an earlier image thinking I had used a duplicate shot twice. LOL Nope, its just another shot very almost identical to number 7.

Obviously the swells finally one its way down, but there were still some pretty big sets out the back the late afternoon on the higher tide. This guy had about 6-8 solid frames of this barrel and I could only choose one, so this is it. You should check the sequence dude! It’s Pretty rad!

Taking left barrels at this time of day is literally blinding. Looking down the line of perfect barrels but only to be temporarily blinded by that 5 o’clock sun. Beautiful shot and angle from this side tho!

Hernan’s milkshake brings all the froth to the yard
And they’re like, it’s better than yours, Damn right it’s better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge! Hahahaahaa

No but for reals, he does charge!

Doc Hunt, always on the hunt for the best waves of the day. Don’t be disillusioned by his longboard. When he padres that thing out be it Colorados OR Panga Drops, he’ll be the one sitting out there deepest and has a zero pull out policy.

Some empty and clean right eye candy for your Sunday Funday gratification.

If… that’s if you can pull off a top turn this vertical, you know exactly how damn good it feels… but it’s even more rewarding when you see it after your session and know that, that feeling wasn’t a disappointment.

Last light, last glimpse through the trees of sweet mother ocean and her greatest gift (at least for us surf fanatics). Hope you all have a great week ahead… here’s to our next juicy swell! See ya mañana ~
