Somewhere in Nicaragua

The early morning saw some super clean conditions with nicely tapered barrels. There was a lot of Houdini acts going on for sure!

Like this..! How’d you like to wake up to some of these in the morning?

Quentin was up and at it early as well. He’s been ripping while visiting here. I hope he has a good amount of quiver since he still has a few more weeks here to explore a lot more of surfings nooks and crannies here in Nica.

Some people enjoying waking to the smell of bacon, or coffee.. I actually think Lesther and (younger bro) Oscar can smell when the waves are good, because they’re always on it. Always ready for desayuno!

I always know when Mike is back in town. He rips hard like a grom and he surfs as much as one too, if not more

Case in point.

Oscar warming up for the day. This kid surfs every level here. Big, small, barrels, airs, you name it. He’s got them on lockdown.

Oscar – Exhibit A.

Oscar – Exhibit B.

Lesther with a super crusie cut back. Check out the amount of spray and he barely turned his board. His surfing is effortless, maybe because he’s been surfing this wave his whole life.

As the tide began to push in from the super low drained out morning, the afternoon sets started to pick up a bit in size.

Peter is here visiting from Redondo Beach, CA for a few more days. Sick bottom turn buddy! I bet you’re not missing the wetsuit and onshore’s all that much?

The wind actually decided to swing from offshore and it turned side shore while some of the biggest sets of the day were coming through; catching a few people off guard.

So, there was actually some pretty good carnage today!

We had fly-aways…

Some going over the falls….

I’m still trying to figure out what might have happened on this one?

Señor Martin, you ok buddy??? Looks like maybe you got a fin to the ear or something? Glad to see you’re walking it off and actually smiling about it. Mike and John probably bout to go cool off with an ice cold Toña!

Here ya go André, I know I had to give you a redemption shot on here since I used one of you going over the falls haha (sorry). Now that’s a nice man carve amigo!

I’m seeing more and more little Nica groms out in the lineup. I remember with it was just a couple and now the community of “real” locals are starting to take to the sport. It’s a beautiful thing… surfing~!

It’s always a good day when you see this many people in the same lineup, sharing and all still managing to surf and share respectively.  Nobody like an aggressive surf spot. Keep it fun and remember surfing is about having as much fun as you can. We need to be good role models for these kids coming up here.

Hi five’s and straight over to Toña time, I bet is what’s next for these two amigos.

Don’t forget to head on over to Casa Anana’s tomorrow for their Sunday home made Lasagna with special musical guests and live music from Tanga Drops. It’s gonna be a good party!

Well that’s it for today friends. Time to close for another great day and start making your trek back to eat, wash, rinse and repeat and do it all over again for hopefully another great day at the playa tomorrow. Hasta entonces te veo mañana!
