Somewhere in Nicaragua

This shot could very well be from 2005, or it might be from what the future holds and it could be a shot later down the road in 2055. The only thing that might change between that huge gap in years would maybe be the surfboard and the trunks this hombre is rocking, but the wave will always still look the same!

One thing I wish I could fast forward to and take a little sneak peek, would be Jett here, 10-15 years form now. I’m sure he’ll be one of the top doggies out in the water by then and probably surfing the outer reefs and beyond by then!!

With turns and style like this now, can you imagine what he’ll look like when he’s a teenager OR (gulp) young adult?!?!?! (****MIND BLOWN***)!!!

Roastissary Chicken is what’s for lunch today!

And the barrel fest continues on. . .

And on. Heres Jett’s papa, Emi. Getting slotted before they all head to Costa Rica soon where Jett will compete AND I’m 99.9% sure he’ll take first again like he does in all the contest he enters (also which consists of teens much older than him, since most contest don’t really have that many kiddos that he can even compete against).

I remember when Jackson was just a little guy, like Jett. He had these long “Colocho” style blond curly locks and was blowing minds and even sponsored by Quiksilver at the time. Maybe this here would be a good example of where Jett’s heading. . . . the sky’s the limit OR beyond!

That’s what happens when you have a world class wave as your backyard and that’s where you practice every single day. Lesther is another product of a very special and unique place to be a surfer growing up!

All the other “Grown Ups”, whether it’s their first time here, or their 20th, have at some point seen this view. And it definitely ends up making that Nicaraguan stamp in your passport multiply A LOT!!!

Like my good buddy here, Joey “Coco-Bananas”!  Yeaaaah hermano, so GREAT to see you back!!!

I’ve been throwing up a lot of little mini sequences (just a few select shots, pulled from their completed anywhere from 30-75 + total frame count sequence) Why? Because the waves have been so sick, and so is this couple of frames of Jacksons backhand right.

So deep. . . well Ya’ll know, Ice Cube said it best! You now rest!!! 😉

Chele’s seen more tube time I think than anyone here. (if you’re counting that he started surfing when he was like 5).

This wave isn’t the easiest on any given day either. To get that deep, even just the drop-in alone, takes a special skill set, but back to getting that deep, you have to really pump and drive in those barrels all while practically riding the foam ball the entire time.

Make no foam ball about it, Jackson has pulled more rabbits out of the hat that I can even count!

We’ll give this unknown “chico afortunado” (lucky dude) the parting and last sequence of the day. Here’s that special drop. The key is YOU HAVE to take off sideways OR you better have an equally sufficient bottom turn like Mark Richards.

This is not missing the barrel, as a matter a fact, the sequence in it’s entirety has a whole lot of cover ups, (a few times) but this one shot I thought was one of the best out of the bunch! There were just way too many, so it was a hard decision to pick from all the rest.

But for him, the body language here says it ALL!!!!! That was one heck of a wave DUDE!!!! Bravo!!!

Fist bumps here are equally as excepted as the shaka is in Hawai’i!!! “How was your surf sash son”, “Epic Dad, can we go back out for another few???” And this is what makes this place so AWESOME!!! How bout another round again tomorrow? You all in???? I will see you then mañana ~Remember, even if you didn’t make the highlights you can always look at the link here for all theDaily Surf Shotsfrom each day, there might be a good chance you’re in there!AND don’t forget to follow us and always check out our current happenings on our daily Instagram stories hereNSRor my photography hereNica Surf Shots
