We'd like to send out a big NSR Christmas welcome to Carlos Caliente's family - mother Charlotte and sister Molly. It seems that the surf stoke runs deep in this family as despite very little experience both mother and sister were up and riding on their very first waves. Here they are sharing a good one. This is their second visit to Nicaragua, they are loving every minute of it and were overheard giving high praise to Remanso, ceviche, piñatas, Reina, 3am kazoo parades, gallo pinto, Bambu, El Pozo, and Hotel Piedras y Olas. So far Carlos is dominating the scrabble battles. They all wish Agneta, Jim, and Carol an excellent Christmas - hopefully the rest of the clan will make it down soon.
