Nica Update

The blog will be postponed and updated as a journal entry...

Day #1
just arrived in nicaragua the flight was fun and i got some sleep...
hustling to finish the job for CBS which was a fun. Surf was good today when we arrived... Nice to surf in warm water and trunks.. it was beautiful to watch the face of the wave fold for 4-5 seconds and remain open in the sunset... i like being inside the tube...

More to come....
Reflecting on the surf Garrett walks up with a scorpion on his face.. One time i wish i had a camera.. pretty funny.. it didnt have the stinger attatched but it was cool none the less...

I like the area and after a good meal and shower its nice to chill and relax..
it's only 8pm but its late for me as the surf will be up for the next couple of days and the sleep on the red eye flights was pretty nonexistant..

Its cool to see the volcanos as u fly in..
Evening session was fun and I got a great 4-5 second barrel ride.. woohoo

DAY #2
Surf the beach break til it got walled and closed out with the low tide..
Still fun and got a few real good barrels .. I like Nicaragua and the offshores all day..
Surfed fun little reef break in the evening with just the crew.. Nice to be in trunks..

DAY # 3
You have NO idea.....
Colorado was a mission today... AXLE deep in mud.. real mud...
after we dug ourself out after an hour of running through the cow fields looking for mushrooms and sticks to put under our tires... sticks need i remind u that would have scorpions underneath them...

Now i have cuts on my arm and hand and waiting to see what happens..
at least it was clean mud... as in natural mud... not really cow shit or runoff...
