Somewhere in Nicaragua

Todays crew and a picture perfect day!

Riley kicking things off showing us just how perfect the size was for todays point break decision.

I watched Jack pick off quite possibly the most waves as he chose to sit a little further in, towards me. I’m sure his arms are like noodles tonight!

Petey definitely had the soul board of choice out there in todays juice, and so many waves because the interval was super fast and the waves were coming in bulk while the tide was still low enough.

Brooke, who’s one of the only two I think in the crew who’s been to Nicaragua multiple times… I’ve been shooting with her as she’s traveled and climbed the difficult totem pole of professional surfing. As you can see her surfing speaks for itself!

Derek was on point, literally, he was the one who helped put the whole trip together.

Like a point guard on the court, only this is his playground and he’ll dance circles around you to take the ball to the hoop!

Elle, sitting way super deep and waiting for the real bomb sets to come through.

All I can say is I’m glad they decided to go today and not yesterday, as todays current was enough work out for me until the next time I decide to swim jaja. I spoke with some other friends who surfed here yesterday and they said it was “out of control”

You’d only know how big this really is unless you’ve surfed here, but I’m literally at eye level with the flats and that wave is well overhead Cole’s head.

And there were plenty of even bigger sets out there too!

If Loooooong roping lefts are you jam, then you would have had a really fun time out there today!

I just barely made it back and above the wave in front of this one after I got rolled and tossed by the whitewater…. just in time to catch Petey on this outside bomber.

If you notice the cliff in the background (as it’s a key place for lining up your takeoffs – or in my case where I try and sit) but that current was sweeping north pretty hard, but stoked I got this sequence of Riley…

Doing this!!!

Sharing is caring…. especially if you’re Elle and Brooke. They were having so much fun on this wave!

Robbie’s a big dude, so you can see how big this one was, but what you don’t get to see is me getting it on the head. Hey…. but it’s all good!

Rounding out one last wave before the tide got a little too full for this place, Rodrigo in the group (is from Portugal) so he’s stoked to be surfing in board shorts and tropical warm juicy waves.

The smile says it all..!!!!!

Alright you weekend warriors (well it’s almost that time) I hope you enjoyed today’s expedition surf report. Let’s see how things look around here maybe tomorrow. It’s pouring rain now, like it has the last few nights like clockwork, but it could be total magical tubos out front mañana! Hope to see you out there ~
