Laser Wolf: Nica day 1 and 2

So, we made it safely to Nicaragua. The flight was good and Marc picked us up from the airport, which saved us $100 on a taxi ride to Madera. it took a bit longer to get to the beach this time because we had to make a few stops so Marc could take care of a few things. It was nice to be able to see a bit more of Managua and we got to get our groceries at a bigger market than last time. $1 for a 6 pack of cervesa Tona by the way, and about $6 for a liter of Flor De Cana rum.)

we got to our house (the Buena Vista Surf Club) just before 5pm and were able to catch a few waves before dark. it was chest to about 2 feet overhead and glassy, no wind at all. we were also the only people in the water. It was a nice way to end the day for sure.

yesterday, day two, we surfed in the morning with Marc and Marielle before they left on their vacation. again it was about chest high with some bigger sets and clean. we came back to the house to get the lowdown on our duties as the dog watchers/house-sitters and had some lunch. we waited out the low tide after that and just got settled at the house and sweated for a few hours. It takes a few days to get used to the heat. then hit the beach at high tide again. it was another fun session, chest to head high and clean.

we also ran into some friends we made last time we were here that run the concession on the beach. I swear i will remember the guys name before we leave. i feel bad but i cant pronounce it so its hard to remember. we will most likely eat lunch down there today and hang out for awhile then surf the incoming tide. the waves look smaller today, about chest high. no wind... (sucks right? ha!)

any-who, stay tuned for more updates and photos. here are some for now...
