Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there everyone, Happy Tuesday!! We had some really micro fun sized surf this afternoon, with another great big fat high tide making things rather interesting on the inside shore on all that sand that’s built up here on our believed beach break. Come take a dip with me!
Sand tubes anyone? What’s that saying about there always being something better around the corner?
Everyone was getting their EVERYTHING on tonight. This guy obviously was in the “Schralping” department.
Hey, what time is it anyways…. it’s selfie time! That’s what time it is.
This should be the image when one googles surf stoke, all-be-it, brotherly competitive surf stoke, further more.
These two monkeys are doing EVERYTHING completely right with surfing. Who knows, maybe this could even be the next Andy and Bruce???
As some of you surf fans visiting here have had to adjust from that nonsensical time change recently, and although (THANKFULLY) Nicaragua does not recognize or practice this bi-annually conundrum event; it looks like Gaven went ahead and decided to switch it back an hour just for fun, from High noon to 11 o’clock!
Uhhh Oh! Look who’s bout to get Jiggy wid it on the soft top… yours truly, El Capitan (AKA) Hot Carl!!! Let’s see them dancing steps Hermano!
Speaking of El Jefe’s, Jamie just informed me right after I took this shot that he had sand in orafoces he didn’t know existed. That’s pretty CRAZY, especially coming from a guy who’s surfed the North Shore for years.
Hey there chica! I’d yield to Jamie’s disposition of sand and watch out when you return later in that shore pound. Just a friendly, courteous tip. 🙂
Maycol has been “the man(kid) – on fire” as of lately. I’m not sure if he’s been introduced yet to the weekly poker events (something tells me he might be really good) but anyhow, here it looks like he’s going all in with his chips; poker face and body language and all!
Nothing beats a super fun later afternoon sesh with that nice warm golden light.
1 foot, no problem. Just remember, people really do surf in lakes and it’s freezing!
By the looks of it, we had a bunch of NEWBIES out there this avro session.
Beginner, intermediate, advanced… we all share a place in that surfing world. The ONE thing to always remember is EVERYONE started as “A Beginner”.
Check out this guy perfectly driving though the inside parking lot.
John G always sits outside no matter if it’s 10feet or 2 feet like today. Either way, he ALWAYS get’s the bomb set wave. Here he is cruising right on by everyone after the big clean up set of today; showing everyone how a long board is ridden.
This is Joan, John G’s wife. They’re both some of the ultimately coolest people living here in Hacienda Iguana, for sure. Heck, even their doggie Chloe is Super RAD!
Koji – steezing with style each and every session.
This guy was making these 1 footers look way too easy.
What time is too late to paddle out. My guess is, as long as there is still light, then it’s never too late!
Yoji trying his best not to run over Uncle Carl!
Now, I can’t really speak too much about this train wreck that’s about to go down??? How do you think this all worked out??? hahaha
Ya know, there’s a flip side to surfing big waves. You can have Great Big Balls of Steel to paddle out to some of the hairballiest (is that a word?) places on the planet. But it’s really all about how you conduct yourself on a freaking soft top, that shows your true integrity of a surfer!
Carl has a set of said “hairballiest Great Big Balls of steel”…. but man, look his face right there! He’s just as stoked on that 2 footer as he is when it’s 15 feet plus at outer reef.
I’m so psyched to see my good friend Colin back in the water. There’s only one thing truly this guy loves more than his his wife Aga and his adorable little tator tot Ryder, and that is being in the ocean surfing. Glad to see you’re back at it brother!
Gerardo Alexis was out there getting his ultimate shred on! He’s from El Salvador which is real close to here, which explains why he rips to hard!
Gerardo Alexis – goes very fast!!!!!
and these guys go even faster, so they can make it back to the bay where they came from; probably so they can go have some dinner! I bet they’re starving after being out on the ocean all day.
See what happens when we slow that shutter speed down really slow…. we can actually analyze Hot Carl’s sick side stepping mastery. Dude, I think you might have a place on Dancing with the stars, buddy!!
Jamie was out there enjoying the glide with everyone else! Freeez girl!!! I gotcha!!!!
Aga was out there cruising as well on her Softy. Mama bear and Papa bear getting on it, tag teaming with Ryder… such a fun session!
Yup, that’s Papa Bear, coming out of hibernation!
Gavin says one thing and one thing only… EVERY SESSION IS A GREAT SESSION!!!
Ok…One last wave of the day and that’s it… promise!
Okie Dokie my favorite surf people! It’s that time to call it a day. Thanks for taking time to read my silliness tonight. I was a bit delirious from a long day of work, but it was fun! Hope to see ya’ll back mañana! Cherrios ~
