The anticipation is at its end, as the first day of surfing competition in the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship has arrived.  Today’s competition schedule was the following: Qualifying Round 1 of Men’s Masters (Heats 1-12) and Qualifying Round 1 of Men’s Grand Masters (Heats 1-12).  Mother nature blessed us with some sick conditions for the first day, chest to head high waves, straight offshore winds and warm water.  No more you can really ask for!

This is what all people was thinking about when they decided to bring this event down.  Ronald Reyes from Venezuela getting pitted on this sick left.  There is not a better way to start a contest than having a sick barrel, uh!

We had a great vibe on the beach all day long.  And we do not even have to talk about the vibe in the water after seeing all those surfers getting some fun waves.

A couple of chaser barrels jumped out in the water down the beach, and they all scored.  Classic Playa Colorados shot, from far down the beach.  You gotta love the view on this one!

I got kinda surprised when I saw Glenn Martin using one of my photos as an example for one of his killer draws.  This is Rex Calderon smacking this section over Playa Maderas last year, right at sunset.

We left the contest for a little while and headed up to Wastomate, one of the closest communities around Hacienda Iguana to give away some baseball gear.  All the boys were super stoked and Carlitos gave them some tips to hit the ball good and perfect.  HOME RUN!!!
