Somewhere in Nicaragua

** Spoiler alert** – this is the only left wave from todays session.

My buddy and all around hard charging amigo, Fábio nabbing one of todays many gems.

Same wave, but pulling in under the curtain on this backdoor-esque looking macker.

Different angle, but closer look to show the size we had out there today. Nice one Hermano!!

Unidentified, getting just as slotted.

Local barrel master, Carlos Perez knows his way around these parts… all too well!

This is what putting in your time looks like.

You can wear your heart on your sleeve or you can wear a Colorados lip on your back. Both are evenly admirable for the efforts in showing good character.

Here’s what perfect clean and glassy CO’s looks like.

Here’s what perfect clean and glassy CO’s looks like from a more scary angle. Of course this guys not scared, just hoping his board doesn’t break if he wipes out.

Here’s what perfect clean and glassy CO’s looks like PART II.

Oscar is another stand out local that has the pigdog position on LOCK.

If you’re in need of secondary reference, here ya go!

“hmmm, that right down the way looks a bit better”, I bet that guy is saying to himself.

The reef was alive and well…. WELL OVER HEAD!

Ok, I sit corrected as I write this… Parker practicing his pig dog on this other left. I guess that makes two today.

There was a little room out there today for some above the lip action.

Make that two waves, for that in fact.

Here’s what a rarely seen perfect bottom turn looks like (being that this wave is so fast, there never really is time for a long drawn out bottom turn on this wave).

and here’s the reward for said nicely executed bottom turn. Tube time!!

Jackson Obando on one of his countless barrels from today; and not a drop of water out of place.

Sometimes you win some….

and sometime you lose some.

Sometimes whether it’s makable is all in the eyes of the beholder, aka surfer in this case.

Much like the current situation here in Nicaragua, this wave might look like a bit of a mess….

but when things come together like the passion of the people here, there is a lot of beauty here everywhere you look here in Nicaragua. Much like this wave Tony Z is on.

The reef bowling up and looking like… well a pretty nice darn reef break!

. . . . . . . . . . I don’t even think I have to write it, I’m almost certain the caption made it’s way right to your brain without even having to say it. But for those who I might have lost… think of a surfer dude named Turtle and one of the most quoted lines from any surfing movie ever. 🙂

Ok, my friend Sergio says “WOW que dia de ondas! Eu vou te ver lá amanhã com certeza!” Dale Pues ~Today was a pretty magical day out there, so if you think you might have been down there and would like to see all the photos from todays session you can take a peek here :www.nicaraguasurfshots.com/may_18_2018_colorados_main
