Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola fanáticos del surf! Todays surf was a tad smaller. I guess I could use the old adage of surf lore sayings and say… “well, you should have been here yesterday”, but in reality, there’s always something fun to ride here in Nica-Land. It just might be better some days than others.
That being said…. who opened the box of gremlins and plopped them smack dab at the beach in Tola today?? I mean seriously, where the heck did all these people come from overnight??
Dario was a bit scared and sought some cover in this fine little inside barrel.
Hot Carl and I spoke earlier today about yesterdays epicness of waves and how we should plan on not missing todays session. So we made sure to link up for todays round two. Not a bad looking green gem on the tide coming up at around noon.
Don’t get me wrong. There were still some punchy nuggets to be had today for sure.
and if you timed it right, you could be pulling maneuvers like this.
It’s been noted time and time again about the importance of the first bottom turn for setting up your entire wave. Well, as text book as it may sound, it all makes sense since Hot Carl used to be a school teacher.
Natasha wasn’t the only lady surfer out there today, as the crowd was obviously well mixed, gender-wise, age-wise & surf experience-wise. The only difference is most guys like to see how well the lady surfers look on the waves.
Antonella, post surf and sun kiss-stoked for a fantastic Saturday. Now go grab a yummy Pizza at Anana’s tonight, where she’ll serve you up with a delicious real Italian PIE, made with love from Tati and her crew.
Hot Carl writing the books today with his text book form and stylishly good looks. Ohhhh come on ladies… don’t deny it!
He has all the stereotypical “Alpha babe on the ladies needs list”. He’s tall, dark (very tan) and handsome. BUT don’t get your hopes up too high… he’s taken. Sorry ladies!! You can look all you want, but you can’t touch!
I give you…. Handsomely “Hot Carl”! I don’t think I know of anyone more stoked than him after todays surf sesh.
Ok…. I gotta say, I think Oscar might give you a pretty good run for your money, Carl!! haha
Oscars hermano, Angel Zacarias giving a nice little grab rail late entry clinic for Natasha.
Tati’s been putting in a lot of time out there with her surfing this season. I betcha I can guess one of her new years resolutions…. Get the biggest baddest barrel of her life, once Colorados comes back to life next season. Did I guess Tati, did I guess???
Dario can already claim some of the best tubos of his life here at this amazing stretch of beach… now he’s working on his gliding game, including the infamous “Helicopter”, but only because it’s the off season.
This is where the term “Nicaraguan Aerodynamics” was originally created. Don’t believe me, this is on the merriam webster google search engine:aer·o·dy·nam·ics /ˌerōˌdīˈnamiks/ noun noun:aerodynamics 1 the study of the properties of moving air, and especially of the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving through it. i.e. a surfer catching a wave at Panga Drops, in Latin America, Nicaragua.
Hayden has only been back for a little while, as he is newly married to the love of his life, Uli, where they tied the knot back in their motherland of New Zealand recently. Love really does give you wings!
Grant was one of the lucky few who scored yesterdays much talked about session. I saw him bolting down the playa looking for a round two score.
It wasn’t as big today, but he was still ripping regardless; and with his signature smooth style!
I don’t want to jinx it, but I think we may have one more little hiccup of a swell that might grace our beaches before the end of the year. I only hope!!!
If not, it’s ok if we see a bit of this until everyone say’s “Cheers to another Year!”
