Somewhere in Nicaragua

Despite the lack of pumping swell. The conditions were all time. Go ahead and ask Katie as well. She only has positive things to say about this place… but then again, if you knew Katie… you would know, she’s the positivity MASTER!!! Nothing can ever bring her down. Simply stoked on the daily.

Skatepark like conditions would be an understatement.

For both boys and girls alike today.

Sprinkle in some super lunar high tide-ness and this is what it looked like on the rocks.

My vecino and surf stoked amigo Luis loves surfing no matter the day, weather or conditions. Lucky for him and me (too) we live in a very wave rich environment.

This guy came so prepared for the nuclear sun that is common down here…

He has absolutely no excuses for bogging with his surfing due to sun stroke. Nor does it show. Thank you to the person who invented the rashy & sunscreen!!!

The last two slides apply 100% to this guys turn as well.

JS, with the afternoon surf check. If it’s not flat, you can always count that he’ll be out there.

I didn’t quite get my “mystery barrel rider of the day” today, but this will suffice just fine.

John Martin is a good friend of mine. He also suffered a pretty heavy wipeout during the bigger surf season here. All that being said, I’m so stoked to see my amigo back on a surfboard. Never take for granted what the ocean can throw at you… it can all change in a millisecond. Yeaaaahhh Big John!!!!!

Surf Stoked face says it all!!!

What’s better than a nice warm afternoon at the beach than watching some fun surfing going down, waiting for yet another epic Nicaraguan sunset. I can count a couple things in this photo… how about you??

Luis with his eyes on the prize.

Mi jefe, Ceasr getting his 4:20 shred on, before his big poker night tonight.

Scott may, or may not play poker, but I can always count on him making the surf report, since he surfs so good.

Just a trusty dog, your fantastic lady and a lagoon. What else do you need to complete your late Sunday afternoon walk?

Justin is a local worker here in Hacienda Iguana. Ok, that title doesn’t give him enough credit. He is one of the many hard working Nicaragüense here always making this place safe and doing it every single day with this infectious smile, day in and day out.

The Sunday Funday foam party days in SJDS maybe have been put on hold for a little bit… but they’ll always run 7 days a week here in Tola. Guaranteed!!

Sunset with direct sun, backlit, lens flare, many things many photographers would disagree with….

I beg to differ.

Cesar on his millionth sunset wave here…

and still counting!

The good thing about airs… there isn’t an exact time of day to do them.

With the spray coming off this wave and the slower shutter speed of my camera, it looks like Cesar is going about 50 mph. Maybe he is??? Either way, he’s stoked to be surfing every single day here in Nica-Land.

Jeison, with a super sick blast off for the parting shot and my time to say its been a fun weekend!

Okay devoted friends across the globe. Thank you for hanging in there with me for the last few days (aka) the weekend. I always enjoy trying to bring you the best surf shots from Nicaragua. You have my heart in mind when I do each and every report. Te amo ~
