Hola and happy Thursday ummmmm, I mean, make that super mega windy Thursday that is! Today the winds were the strongest yet (I think?) and it will get even more windy with wind gusts up to 40 mph +, so today was a good indicator for what we have to look forward to for the next couple of month. Lots of wind which mean kicked up polvo (dust), then comes with it the pica. Little pieces that shed off of a certain local tree this time of year (think of it kinda like a dandelion) but its little particles are so small you can’t see them, but when they get on your skin, it feels like little needles all over and itches like crazy…. so JOY to that! haha So Welcome and come on in.. I have some really nice scenery photos for you to look at since (spoiler alert) not one single surfer I saw out surfing there today.

Nobody up at the North end of the beach… so let’s go check somewhere else.

Here’s looking at Panga Drops right in front. Way too much wind. Can you believe that. There’s waves, but it was just too windy for anyone to want to go get blinded by 30mph wind gusts of sea salt into their eyeballs! Good call, I say!

Getting pretty bored, so I had an idea to go and get maybe one last snap of this surf camp, hotel, all inclusive beach setup place (if you’ve stayed here you would know) the ever Iconic “Mark & Daves” has officially ended their long standing run as one of the longest running surf boutique style all inclusive on the beach hotel in Nicaragua (a very popular I might add) with a lot of really big names (in surfing and from the Hollywood side of A listers all the way down) have stayed at this icon joint! Sad to see it come to an end….. but like all things in life, it’s a new time for a new chapter.

Mark and Dave’s has been a Nicaraguan surfing institution for over a decade. From it's beachfront location at Playa Colorado the small boutique all-inclusive surf resort has treated hundreds to their first surfing experience in Nicaragua and ensured it was a positive one. Their attention to detail and stellar service helped all who came fall in love with the country. As of today the business has been sold and this little gem on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua will be reinvented.

The new incarnation of this beautiful property will be Oneness whose mission is: to create life & health span-lengthening living sanctuaries where the power of mother earth and thousands of years of knowledge promote happiness, compassion, abundance and infinite health for ourselves, our collaborators, the community and our customers. The new owner/operator team are long time members of the community and we wish them success in their effort to make a positive impact.
