Somewhere in Nicaragua

Welcoming in May with a special report actually from super early this AM. As things go, even in paradise, not everything always goes as planned, BUT that’s the beauty (sort of) by not having to be on an exact  schedule like back in zombie work-mode land, we get the luxury of “taking it easy” or much like “Hawaiian Time” Nica time is very similar! Anyhow, getting up at the crack of dawn and shooting some new amigos started the day off just fine….. check it out!!

It was our good friends last day here, so we hoped for the best, even though there departure time was scheduled well before most people were even up and the tide was at dead low.

Unless we have some legitimate swell and it even helps to have a little combo mixed in, todays morning session was a little frustrating and walled up; but even though this was their first trip to Nicaragua. they all felt the potential and promised to be back soon!

After living here for so long and seeing or meeting new friends from around the globe, it’s hard to see them catch this place in it’s mediocre level.

PLAYA COLORADO

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.

Happy Friday people! Here’s another kickoff to another fun weekend. Today here in Nicaragua is the Holiday recognizing National Work Day. Kind of ironic, since most people are not working right now. For everyone who’s out there risking their lives, taking time to be away from loved ones and doing the good deeds out there..
