Hello surfers and surfistas!! Welcome to the Humpday report with Hotsticks. If you do not like looking at barrel shots, do not click “read more…”

I linked up with my buddy Kai DeLorenzo this morning. He’s going to hate me for calling it this (but his dad will like it), but today is the “Kai Report.” Enjoy some shots of this ripper!

So the DeLo family (Andy and Kai) have been coming to Nicaragua since the old days (before we were family friendly, had a bunch of restaurants, and nice roads). As you scroll through today’s report, you’ll see that Kai’s surfing has benefited from the years logged down here.

He is an absolute tube hound!!! He sat on this morning’s right and dominated the peak.

Still in it… maybe that pre trip buzz cut is making him surf even faster?

No, the wave doesn’t just feature a sick tube. Keep scrolling down to see him unleash it on this corner.

Ok. Respectable stamp Kai…

He muscled it out and threw a man fan. A hundred something pound kid throws water like that?!?! Sick tube and spray bro!

If you haven’t noticed, today was marked by the rights. The direction slightly switched to change up the peaks. Us regular footers have been anxiously awaiting this…

However, some fun lefts still came through. Hit the gas, draw a high line, and make it through the section!!

Brett, I mean Jose Luis, was happy to go right. He probably packed enough left bombs in the past two weeks…

Being the guest service rep, clients always ask me when the waves are best or the most consistent. I can give them plenty of information of what to expect in certain months but the DeLo’s have learned how to do it: save up, travel on a budget, rent one of our rental properties for a month, and get barreled everyday. Just email [email protected]!

On days, more like weeks, like this, it fires. But when it was small before these back to back groundswells, they took a day trip. No stress because they are here for a month so they catch all the windows. Other groups have to strike it on an impulse or enjoy whatever Mother Nature decides to send them for that week.

Check out the photo above again: Kai was in the pocket. Look at this photo again: a strong pump to make it to the next section.

And now check this photo out: reaping the benefits. Because he spends so much time here (reread those comments above), he reads the wave so well.

One of my buddies Cameron (whose last name won’t be mentioned) from Florida told me he doesn’t see this wave spit. Need more proof primo? I’ll send more proof if you bring me a chick filet sandwich in August.

Kai Kai Kai, ok I get it. But I really like this kid. Yes, he surfs well and yes, his family is part of the NSR family. But do you know what else is awesome about this guy? Besides surfing, he has a lot going for him academically and personally. Well raised, ambitious, and a shredder- not a bad combo (especially for a surfer).

Maybe that’s why all eyes (and more sponsors) are keeping tabs on him?

1:24 PM

He’s a similar 6 foot something guy so help a brotha out dude!!! Show me how to slip out of those tubitos unscathed. Side note: I only wanted to post this one picture of him making it out. It's a given he stuck the other waves...

Forecast wise, get out there the next couple of days! This swell is one it’s way out so we should have some fun smaller days for the rest of the week and into the beginning of next week. I’ll let Brian or Baldo tell you what’s coming next week/weekend :)

Kai, when are we going to link up for some water shots? If you can surf like this, give me a call and let me hop in the water. It'll only cost you a six pack of cold Tonas.

I'm a sucker for right barrels so here's one more. I hope you're a sucker for them too...
