nicaragua nights




lights went out for a couple of hours, we decided to have a fire on the beach.

keith decided to try to take these picks with the shutter open. the pic turned out great, the writing is actually with a hot stick from the fire, and it took about 30 seconds. this shot was probably the 20th shot, i thought it turned out pretty cool. if you notice, the stars were insane that night.

part 1 nicaragua




escential wetsuits went to nicaragua for 10 days. lucky for us, a south swell hit. it was a great trip, nice weather, and offshore winds everyday.



we started in playa maderas, and stayed at a hostel called parque maderas. nice place and cool people. the walk was about 200 yards to the break, but it was a dirt road on an extreme hill.

playa maderas (look at the left)



we were there for 3 days, and we left to go north and meet up with the rest of the party.



the trip up north took 2 hours, and the drive was eye opening.
