Somewhere in Nicaragua
Oh no, here we go again with onshore winds. Man, we’ll be glad when hurricane season is finally over. We’ve got a fun sized swell running today, but the conditions aren’t so good. This is Playa Santana.
We caught some fun ones, all things considered, but the real name of the game today was “Fiesta”. Yes, today Mr. Brown celebrated his 35th with a shindig fit for a king. Here is the fam.
No detail was left unplanned for this occasion – this is 30 lbs of wahoo steaks from Lance’s and Jeff’s catch yesterday. Thanks Lance and Jeff!
Plenty of drinks were had with the open bar – Here is the recipe for a Nica Especial, the drink of choice for Mr. Brown.
Happy Birthday was sung twice – once in Canadian…
…and again in Spanish (at least I think it was Happy Birthday) Check out the Birthday Cake, complete with 35 candles!
And the party went on until the wee hours of the night and climaxed with a 30 minute display of fireworks (you see, there are advantages to being close with communist China)
Mr. Brown has a lot to be happy about this year having convinced his wife and two children to make the move to Nicaragua so he could surf everyday. Congrats Mr. Brown, you are a hero to us all – We’re looking forward to the repeat next year!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves had a little bit of push, but were still fairly soft and mellow. It was all about finding the set waves.
Hello and Happy Monday, This morning was a nice surprise as the forecasted was predicting smaller surf and we had better than expected. Fun lefts and rights when you were in the right spot. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello and happy Sunday. The surf is in the waist to occasional shoulder high wave, but the winds were brutally strong and side shore most of the day. @tonyzphotos reporting.
