Somewhere in Nicaragua

Light show, wave show, magic show of one of the many perfect empty lefts roping in today!

The rights were just as perfect!

One or two things that can bring a surfing down is either a broken surfboard OR a really gnarly wipeout. Well Jenna had both just the other day. But she was back in saddle today with a fresh tabla and an even bigger hunger for waves! Surfers are quite possibly the most resilient people on the planet when it comes to perseverance.

Photogenic atmosphere was one of todays hottest topics. Tony Z’s surfing, well lets just say it was a greatly added feature to the days epicness!

Ryan on one of the many super sick barrels out there this morning.

Family 3 pack? Party of three for a table at your finest dining experience? It’s safe to say…. the bellies were full of plentiful waves today for any surfers hungry appetite!

Devon has been reaping the rewards of this place with an almost empty lineup every single day. Time it right, you get your shot at any waves you like.

Nacho has been on the exact same page.

Show up and blow up has never meant more in the history of this place, because if you played your cards right… you got down here just in time to be stuck here; where it’s been pretty much epic ever since the world went on lockdown.

Dario, cashing in on todays winnings!

Not just once….

But a few times!!!

Chris McKinley is an incredible entrepreneur, but he’s also an amazing waterman. Chris perfectly slotted in one of the best places he now calls home!

It’s actually really hard to not try and blow this place up… because we all know as surfers, the golden rule is to do just the opposite. But when you see this on the reg and it’s my job to give you a solid surf report…. well, I cannot make this Sh!t up! It speaks for itself.

If I had to downplay this wave of my buddy Colins today… maybe he got smashed by this emerald beauty. But I betcha $100 I can show you so many other shots that’ll get you looking at flights, just as soon as everything opens back up!

In case anyone was wondering if the offshores were back…. YUP!!! What’d you think… the season was already over when it was just getting started?

It’s going to be like this for the next few months. You ready??

Sure there are a lot of other special tropical destination surf spots all over the world, but there’s a reason why you always come back to check the surf report here every day. Bertie showing you exactly why you LOVE Nicaragua!

Danny has only been surfing for a very short time here (in surfing years). When or how long was it before you got your first “real barrel”???

TZ, living it, loving it, no matter the unfortunate circumstances the world keeps throwing at us!

I heard a rumor recently that surfing here may go on lock down too… luckily it was just a rumor. But then again, I remembered surfing is like a very modern national right of passage here in this beautiful country.

I’m really going to be sad when my new amigo Ty leaves in a few days. He’s personally showed me over the last few months while he’s been here, what it’s like to be a real pure and true surfer! I love everything about him and his approach to tackling waves. BIG or small!!!!

Oh, did I mention today was pretty much all time!?!?!

Hayden might be my new eye candy favorite (for photos) he’s been on a freaking tear with his surfing and his approach to getting better literally ever single time he paddles out.

There’s a reason why this place is so special. I think for the majority of you who have been here and may be reading this; you get it. For those of you thinking about trying this place out or heard from a friend about it. Make no mistake… you should definitely put it on your bucket list.

Here’s one fine example of what it looks like when the photography talent here goes out and tastes the goods for himself from time to time. TZ letting his camera rest for a minute.

If you see something like this from the beach here… most people are usually holding their breath. If you make it. You’re almost always guaranteed a huge round of applause!

Well overhead today and a good chance of maybe even bigger tomorrow. You down???

Bianca was maybe the only chica out there today while I was shooting, mixing it up with the boys.

Her fearlessness to get barreled was A-game status as well!

Kid brother Robin won’t take second stage if he can help it.

I’m absolutely in aweee of watching the kids out here ripping every single day. I’d say by end of season we’re going to see some pretty insane surfing from all these lads!

Ok, well here’s my parting sunset shot. That’s right.. I shot pretty much the entire day. I didn’t have time to upload the PM session footy, but rest assured, you’re in for some really good surf reports for a while.  I’m tired but so incredibly stoked for witnessing some of the best conditions this place can offer the last two days.
