Somewhere in Nicaragua

It was a an early start, like a 5am start; but that didn’t slow Sérgio down one bit.

You’d be surprised to see how many people are still gracing our surf breaks that are accessible only by boat. The first place we checked had a pretty good pack on it, so I decided to take my amigos to a better spot where they had the waves all to themselves.. and as you can see, with some size too! This is where local surf knowledge pays off!

The photos actually do make it looks a bit better than it was (we’ve had this onshore mess for a bit). But when you have a surf spot all to yourselves, who can complain?

Fábio laying it on a rail at about 6:30am.

Sheet glass is what it looks like, so we’ll take it anyway we can get it, right boys!?!

There were a few growlers that came through. Here, Sérgio contemplates his next move.

With the tide getting just about right for us to go check another spot, we figured it was time to head to and move on to maybe some bigger and better waves.

Arriving to the next location, we were lucky boat number 3. Rafael didn’t even re-wax up, and was out there nabbing a few of the first few waves.

Chris with a nice looking bottom turn…

coming at me on the inside section.

Nice one buddy!!

Guilherme with some nice looking form on one of his many lefts today at this spot.

Good times hermano!

Sérgio isn’t small by any means, but he certainly make this wave look pretty small. If you need a recap ref, look at image number 7 again. That’s a good sized wave!!!

Yeah buddy, rock n’ roll!!!

Gabriel was tied for sitting deepest along with his amigo Danilo, so the distance was all them if they could connect one of these classic 200 yard lefts; which he was doing on this very wave.

Here’s another shot of Gabriel floating a big section trying to make it around to connect for that perfect 200 yard ride.

Smiles for miles after paddling back out from the noodle arm maker.

Rafael, with a super sick giant roundhouse carve.

How’d that one feel?? The looks tells me, maybe it was pretty nice!

This is Danilo, the other one I mentioned who was sitting pretty deep out the back.

I forgot to mention that a little while back, the two other boats left so these guys were surfing this place all to themselves for the rest of the day.

Last but not least, here’s Fábio taking a really nice, well overhead wave… all while having his eye’s on the prize!

BOOM!! I meant this PRIZE!

Or if you like to mix it up, here’s another angle of thus said prize!

Killing it Fábio buddy!!!

I know this report seemed too short haha! So here’s a few shots from back at the homestead after I got back.

Business was as usual, still onshore, but people making huge man carves with spray.

And like always, anyone and everyone looking to get pitted…

It’s what we live for anyways, right??

Ok mi gente… that’s all I got for today. Hopefully in the next day or two we should start to see our next really big swell start to come in. Unitl then, hope you had a GREAT weekend and look forward to posting up some good pics this week if this swell delivers. Nos vemos pronto ~
