Somewhere in Nicaragua

Very few waves today were makable, but the few surfers that were out were charging super hard!

Like this kid.

Pulling into an absolute churned up sand monster.

I think his wave was wave of the day. . .

Same wave, ending on a high note. (Pun intended) right after this he came in and said he needed a “bigger board”. Looked like he was doing pretty well out there on whatever size that thing was!

Mr. Chris happy to have his mom in town, while they were sitting at Pili’s enjoying and spectating the incredible late morning to almost mid day show.

And it was pretty spectacular!!!

Here’s a great size reference for all you who couldn’t be here to see it in person.

And here’s another even better example of what the ocean was sending to everyone sitting out in the lineup. . .

Yeah, there were some pretty good lulls, but when you see the indicator, indicating this, everyone starts to scramble for the outside; and for good reason!

It was super gnarly and just needed to clean up a little bit and it would have been all time. Check out this green pit viper spitting the hole way down the line as she was breaking. Like I said, it was heavy out there.

That lip ain’t no joke and I gotta give that dude some credit for pulling into an oblivion of a closeout wave and in such shallow water. Super peligroso!

Yeah, that there is the reef, going bonkers! Derek (who was standing right next to me) we both looked over and saw probably the biggest set of the day coming from the furthest out I think I’ve seen out at the reef. And it had maybe 5 or 6 waves in that set.

Unfortunately a lot of this. . .

And this. Chris told me he saw 3 other broken boards earlier and another buddy told me two other guys had their big guns snapped like twigs out at PD’s earlier in the morning. A lot of people payed to play today for sure!

Beautiful lighting, amazing swell, we just need those storm systems to go bye bye and get us back into our norm of nice offshore clean and dreamy groomed waves, without the morning sickness from the evening rainstorms.

Haha look, it’s a a double take! Adios from the perros and los Perros! Thanks for popping in to see todays waves. I’m back on shooting details for the next 5 days, so I’ll be on the look out for the best windows and times of day for the best waves!
