Somewhere in Nicaragua

Remember over the weekend I was keeping a close eye on the amount of water we were getting from the rain and how close the sand in-between our Colorado lagoon and the ocean were to connecting. Well they finally came with the big tractor and put some man power behind mother nature to help give her a little boost and waaahhlaaa, we now have a river mouth!  Yeaaahhhh!! Now if we can keep getting enough rain to make this thing about 10 times wider and blow out all that sand, its going to get really good straight out possibly!

in the meantime, surfers like Ray here from Florida is cruising on his mini log having a blast with our so-so surf.

Until our next big swell, that is!

Our beaches here are picture perfect for families to enjoy just about 365 days of the year here. Despite the rain (which was about to come down pretty good a few shots after I took this) but you’d never know. Because who doesn’t like playing in the rain sometimes too?

Dale getting in some fun ones before the day’s end.

The locals know how the weather system works here, better than any meteorologist. Looks like they’re bout done for the day, but they’re actually just about to paddle out.

Another unknown rider logging (pun-intended) some nice beautiful warm water wave time.

Check out that wind on the horizon… the wind started to whirl and the thunder clouds (which you can’t see opposite direction inland) are brewing up something.

Then that calm before the storm. It’s like clock work when you know we’re about to get some dump-age aka rain.

DJ without a care of the rain.. me on the other hand had to take cover since the rain was pretty much blowing in sideways. I can normally shoot it out in any rainy downpour under a palapa, but the sidewinds I can’t compete with. My clothes were soaked, so I had to take shelter… and I was glad I did too!

and this is what our heavenly aftermath always looks like. Simply, beautiful every single time!

Now I can get back to the important stuff.. surfing action!

The swell is definitely in our XS zone right now, and it will continue for a couple more days, but hopefully well see how the weather holds up for this next good size swell we’re supposed to be getting. We’re supposedly getting some bad weather with it too, but we’ll see. Try and stay optimistic!

For now, we’ll just enjoy some clean, glassy, little rip-able waves. How many times have you been psyched for even these kinds of waves just at your home break? I’m sure more times than not.

Like I said, this is a GREAT place for families to come enjoy. Like our new friends, the Menden Family, whom we had the pleasure of meeting and is staying at one of our rentals through NSR. Bienvenido’s & incredible family you all are Craig, Beth, Connor, Austin, Chad, and Blake. We hope to see you down for many more years to come amigos!

Speaking of familia, here’s one of the two ripping groms who put in their fare share of practicing their surfing. I can only image how proud both parents Brett and Miki are. Wouldn’t you agree Dan and Stacey. There are like mini Josh and Johns, not to mention your vecinos as well.

The cost of having, raising and putting your kids through education… $$$$ who knows now-a-days. It’s pretty astronomical, I’d say. But getting pushed into a super fun wave by your awesome dad. Priceless!!$$

And to be a good dad, sometimes you must lead by example, by teaching and showing how to have fun in life.

Ron and Ray, a funny and infectious smiling father and son visiting here from Jupiter, Florida. The smiles say it all!!!

Well, it’s that closing time once again. The days here seem to go by so quickly. Not sure if it’s because our sun seems to set early (usually between 5:30 and 6:30pm) like this all year round, never changes. But the upside to what would seem like a short day, means the next one will come that much sooner! So We’ll see you back here more than likely a bright and early one, since Señor early bird Hotstickshannahs is back at it this week and I’m sure he’s been missing you guys oh so much here in web land just as well! So get your sleep on and we’ll see what’s in store for mañana’s surf report soon. Lets hope there’s some good waves! Buenas Noches ~
