Somewhere in Nicaragua

Hola amigos Happy TGIF to all you frothers out there! Today we had some of the most beautiful water color and incredible lighting, thanks to all this onshore and occasional rainy weather in the PM. The winds weren’t too bad (side shore / onshore) when I got down there to shoot and there actually some fun little corners. I think it may have been the “green light” little window for the day….. I’ll let you guys decide! Jump on in!!

OK, that last photo was truly one of the best waves I saw all day. However, Ernan was out there making it look easy with his surfing like this.

Looks like Hawaii or something with those different shades of blue eh. His surfing looks like it could be up there on the North Shore as well the talent.

I caught up with Chris right when he was about to paddle out. I know he’s always keen to find himself a barrel or two.

If you zoom in you can see how happy he is to be surfing with hardly anyone out and getting all these waves to himself.

A little changing of the guards has been the norm here with minimal surfers. Grant taking over for Ernan, who always surfed for a couple hours.

And what a force he is going to have to be reckoned with. Turning moves like this, just like his big brother Keven Cortez. It’s definitely in the blood!!!

The chica power has been climbing the ladder here at the Playa Colorados, steadily this season. But that’s what happens when there isn’t about 60-80 international tourists here crowding the lineup and the ladies can finally get some waves to themselves. Enjoy everyone…. THIS PLACE IS SUPER SPECIAL RIGHT NOW, and this might be the last time you ever see it this empty possibly ever again. Enjoy!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

The cover up that nobody saw coming, but luckily it sure came right to Dario. He caught this wave literally right after he paddle out.

Ok, it might be time to go re-group. Or at this point it might be time to go and check the waves again for the evening session. I’m gonna go down and check it… maybe I’ll see ya down there! Yewww ~
