Same wave, but pulling in under the curtain on this backdoor-esque looking macker.

You can wear your heart on your sleeve or you can wear a Colorados lip on your back. Both are evenly admirable for the efforts in showing good character.

Here’s what perfect clean and glassy CO’s looks like from a more scary angle. Of course this guys not scared, just hoping his board doesn’t break if he wipes out.

“hmmm, that right down the way looks a bit better”, I bet that guy is saying to himself.

Ok, I sit corrected as I write this… Parker practicing his pig dog on this other left. I guess that makes two today.

Make that two waves, for that in fact.

Here’s what a rarely seen perfect bottom turn looks like (being that this wave is so fast, there never really is time for a long drawn out bottom turn on this wave).

and here’s the reward for said nicely executed bottom turn. Tube time!!

and sometime you lose some.

Sometimes whether it’s makable is all in the eyes of the beholder, aka surfer in this case.

Much like the current situation here in Nicaragua, this wave might look like a bit of a mess….

10:27 PM
Brian Scott

Nicaragua Surf Report - Report Photo 05/18/2018 10:27 PM
but when things come together like the passion of the people here, there is a lot of beauty here everywhere you look here in Nicaragua. Much like this wave Tony Z is on.

. . . . . . . . . . I don’t even think I have to write it, I’m almost certain the caption made it’s way right to your brain without even having to say it. But for those who I might have lost… think of a surfer dude named Turtle and one of the most quoted lines from any surfing movie ever. :)
