Somewhere in Nicaragua
Thank goodness it’s Friday everyone (aka TGIF)! You wanna know why..??? Well, for one, it is the weekend… and two, we have some new swell arriving. So It’s going to be a good next few days! Yeaaahaaaa!!!
Yeah, this is typically our “Hawaiian Style” version of small.
Although we’re not a cluster of islands out in the middle of the grand ol’ humungous Pacific Ocean, we are however in the direct line of anything swell related that brews anywhere south in the big blue.
There is only 1, just ONE little thing that came make or break a particular south swell from detonating it’s bombs on our beaches and reefs and that little thing or in this case, island is called Galapagos; but don’t worry, the swell angle that it needs to be to shadow our entire line of site for Nicaragua is very small, so this place pretty much get’s anything from South America all the way across to New Zealand that the ocean brews up for us surfing our primetime surf season, which is and has been firing since April!!!
Chocoyo with a super sick tail slide that does good things for Nicaragua, in terms of the surfing here and in particular, its local talent.
Hunker down and get ready people, hopefully the next few days will see this same wave all nice and clean with this shape and even glassy too….. but in Extra Large!
Today’s small(er) fun zone surf was good for everyone to just get out there and enjoy themselves.
At least before we go back to “survival mode” size. Sophies ready… she’s always ready!
Not sure who this little niñita is but she really impressed me with how well she handled herself in hollow waves today!
Young and the young at heart… everyone was out there today having a great Friday surf day!
Mi hermano, the D-Man is back, after a much much long surf injury, which seems to have finally worked itself back into place (pun intended).
Looks like the timing couldn’t be any too! You’ve paid your dues with missing those other swells, but glad to see you back brother! Sick surfing today and sick turn to btw!
So, I don’t usually find things that often on the beach (things that usually belong to people who have lost them), but I saw this thing floating around on the inside whitewash area. I managed to make it out far enough to not kill my phone that was in my pocket while holding my camera at the same time trying not to get that splashed by the waves either, but I managed to salvage someones surf hat. After going through the photos, I actually think its the kid in the introduction photo. So if you’re reading this, OR if anyone knows this kid, please pass along the info to him. The hat is at the NSR office and you can pick it up there. 🙂
Waiting…. waiting for lunch? Waiting to go to work in a few hours? Waiting for that new swell. I think all apply to this pic! Hope to see ya out there tomorrow and hope the swell comes in too!
