After the Storm

administrator — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:26:05 +0000

We had a CRAZY thunderstorm last night with lightning’s hitting just stone’s throws away from the house. Nobody was really expecting much from the surf knowing that a storm like that usually messes up the swell but guess what: another clean morning! We surfed some head high beachies and everyone got their share of waves again.. Other than that, it was just chill, chill, chill. Some beer and rum got consumed, and pizzas, chicken, and other deliciousness’s found their way onto campers’ stomachs. You’re happy when you’re full, right?

Just Beautiful

Let alone the fact that yesterday was a little grey. This morning we got spoiled with beautiful light and many many waves. Light off-shores were grooming the waves all morning, and around lunchtime we had a quick glass-off moment before the wind turned onshore. Right now the waves are still there but have a little onshore slop to them.. Still good if you want to work on your airs.. And check out the photos! Last one is of a local kid who was ripping the green and glassy waves with his buddy. Great to see some local blood in water too!

Overcast Day

Waves, reading, ding fixes, car games and rum, massages.. That is what our overcast days are made of. It’s actually really nice to have some clouds at times, as your skin doesn’t burn, and the temperature doesn’t climb up to ridiculous numbers like 100 Fahrenheit or 40 deg Celsius. Days like this are excellent for relaxing on the hammocks! The wind has been spinning around today providing off shores, onshores, and temporary glass-offs too. We’re expecting the wind to die again a little before dark, and are pumped for a little evening session.

Swell Is Back

We went through the somewhat standard daily morning routines, and after getting our stomachs filled with fruit and yogurt it was off to the boat again. The long period swell hitting us now, right now 3.5ft@17s, has a lot of power to it. We got to surf constant waaaay-over-head waves that were rolling over the sandbar, and everyone was getting their share. Home beach break is starting show some size too, and is great for body surfing right now..

Some other campers are trying to start a new “trend” of getting towed back into the line-up. We at Surf Tours Nicaragua think that this is extremely lame, dangerous for others, and against the surfing etiquette. If you were one of the people getting back towed back onto the line-up, shame on you. Please man up and stop being a wussy.

Pretty Lights

Sometimes the nature makes you stop. You get mesmerized by something that is more than your words can describe. Let it be the humbling force of a giant wave, or the first steps of an infant elephant, the miracles of nature can make anyone amazed. Today the waves were nothing short of epic but the moment we paddled back to our home beach, tired from all the surfing, was when we had to take a break and just admire how the sky was slowly changing its colors. The sun sets every night, and every sunset looks different. Thank you for Mother Nature for the incredible light show we just got to witness. And happy Mother’s Day for all the Mommas world wide!

Buenos Vientos

Let’s take a look at our luxury camp for change. Right now the guests are enjoying empty line-ups combined to all day off-shore winds. Nothing to complain about there. Add the luxury accommodation and amazing food; the package is starting to get unreal. Would I dare mentioning that we have another rather large swell starting to pound our coast tomorrow? Yep, I think I just did. Sorry for making it look like everything is so good over here but it really is. Luxury package is just what you’d expect it to be!

Locol Loggers

administrator — Sat, 12 May 2012 00:03:56 +0000

A great amount of good surfing was witnessed by our camera guy today on the nearby waves. But it was not so much the surfers with their boards that impressed him the most this time. There were two locol guys who decided to take on the waves with the 4000 pound logs they found.. As pictured below, these men had no fear. Duck diving a giant piece of wood can appear to be really hard but it did not seem to stop these dudes from having fun in the ocean. As a notice for our readers: please don’t try to fly here with a log as the airline company may charge you a crazy sum for overweight. If you really want to surf on a log, we’ll promise to find you one at no cost.. For those who prefer surfboards, remember that we have our ever changing stock of quiver at the camp too.. Right now we have some 30 boards to choose from!

A Zoo

administrator — Thu, 10 May 2012 23:58:19 +0000

In case someone was wondering how our animals are doing, don’t worry: they’re fine. Deano tha Dogg is being spastic as usual; trying to outgrow his everlasting puppy stage. Miss Piggy is doing what pigs do best: eating and **. We get occasional visits from other animals too. Featured in today’s photo update is an unrecognized bird, a member of a species that appears to be the most common around here. Any ornithologists: please share your knowledge and tell us what to call this black tit. The tiny deer likes to spend time on the little boat we have. Seems like it provides her shelter from all the cruelty and hassle around. Meanwhile, the Kitty is always taking relaxing to the next level, and our guests lying in hammocks have hard time trying to keep up with Kitty’s ultimate chilling abilities. Speaking of guests, we just had three new ones come in, and they got to enjoy some nice clean waves this morning, – and are actually surfing as I’m writing this. Surf is good, life is good. And yes, the animals are doing well..

The Only May 9th This Year

It’s true. There’s not going to be another May 9th this year. Did you spend yours the way you wanted?
We most certainly did. Small but glassy.. Everyone had fun enjoying the walled-up little waves the ocean was treating us with today.. Keep on checking the blog, thanks heaps for reading!!

Searching

A big part of a surfing experience is finding the right wave. Let it be that mushy onshore crap you have to shuttle your way through the horrible morning traffic or a perfect glassy tube that you need to sit on different transport devices for days to get inside, traveling is an essential part of what could be called as surfing lifestyle.
There’s just something magical about the very moment when you arrive at the spot and see the (perfect) waves rolling.
“This is what I came here for – this is why I surf.”
That passing moment one spends just looking at the reward of one’s travel is just as valuable as the time spent surfing the wave. Travel and search, look for it. Sometimes you may find exactly what you were looking for.
