Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Tuesday folks! It’s been quite a while since I’ve shot a sunset session, so I thought I’d mix it up after taking such a long hiatus from shooting one of the best times of the day at our beloved stretch of beach here at Hacienda Iguana. But in actuality, the real reason is because the wether this season has been so all over the place, the morning times have been almost the best and usually ONLY time to shoot, as it would normally be raining or onshore anytime after midday. So here’s to a nice change up and a beauty of a sunset show we had, as always!
The water was like sheet glass with just a tad of light offshores. Not too big, but enough swell to make about. . . .oh I’d say at least 30 + people out in the water.
I know what you’re thinking. . . 30 people, but it’s November. I know, I know. This place or year for that matter has a been so unpredictable, it’s maybe one of the most craziest years I’ve seen here.
Well, it is Tuesday and what’s better than a good old “Two for Tuesday” mix ups! Here’s a few for your double vision pleasure!
Great to see Hot Carl out there again after mending a little knee injury. And it looks like the recover was well worth the sit out time of plenty of good swells, as you can see him here driving down the line and popping up and onto this chunky closeout section with a perfectly executed floater! Yeaaaah Boss Man!!!!
Photos are so singular and it’s actually a lot harder than you might imagine trying to tell a story with just one photo, when there’s actually always a really good sequence with lots of photos to choose from sometimes from just one single wave (like I do every time I sit and cull sometimes through hundreds maybe on really good days, thousands of photos) looking for the ‘Best of the Best” to fill all of your eager little eyes and minds with Latin American surfing splendor galore!
Everyone had to duck and cover out there today, unless you are a surfer and under 3 feet!
This tiny little mermaid wasn’t out there to tackle any barrels, however, her stoke factor with just this simple single image alone pretty much sums up how epically friendly and active happy the vibe was out there this pm session.
I was taking a pretty good risk rolling the dice and shooting for the afternoon sesh. . . BUT it was clear, the water was perfect and everyone was having a GREAT GREAT time!
I mean just look at the contrast of those soft pastel 4:30-5pm colors between the sky and the ocean and that fast speeding panga crossing the path to hurry and get back so that surfer crew can get their grub and drinks on after, I imagine what was probably a long day out on the water!
Light offshores, crispy and clean, just how we love it here which is waaaaay more than 3/4 time of the year.
The reef. . . we’re comin’ for you soon Ol’ Gal!!!! Looking super fun and inviting as the sun started to slip away ending this beautiful Tuesday.
