This is kind of becoming a tradition here in Nica-Land. One last epic swell to close off the year… and not a bad early X-mas present either!!

The tight SJDS crew even knows about this select holiday secret and made their way to this gem wave knowing they’d score.

I say tight SJDS crew, because that’s my buddy Jersson Barboza dropping in on Rex, two of Nicaragua’s finest surfers from the city in the bay of the Emerald Coast.

The only difference here is Jersson doesn’t go straight after burning their buddies like some other people in recent surf news. (haha inside WSL joke).

Jersson spends most of his time behind the lens like me, but as you can see, he’s very skilled in putting the board to the test as well.

El Jefe, Jamie K nicely bottom turning into what looks like a solid top to bottom wave that we’d normally have in June.

The scene at the BC was throbbing with a lot of life tonight. Many people in town for the Holidays and spreading Christmas cheer with happy hour ally oops.

Greg and Leah (pictured here) and the kiddos are back in town. Always good to see my amigos back from the snowy cold weather of Whistler, CA. P.s. How’s that black betty working out for ya Leah??

I checked the surf periodically throughout the day, starting much earlier and by midday seeing some early little front runners after a nice lunch break at Pili’s to seeing this by the time I made it back down with my camera by late afternoon. If things are looking this good now… I think it’s safe to say, it might be pretty freaking EPIC mañana!

Jairo, aka “Come Pan” one of the original photogs from Nica, NSR & esp the all around SJDS Crew, locking in to some tight shots with his 600mil. I scoped some of his water shots he got a littler earlier and they were pretty mental.

There were a few little lully moments in between those nice bigger sets, but the locals know exactly what to do in those moments.
