Day 5 in Nica

Larry's patented backside bottom turn

Mysto Left doing what it does. Looks enticing.

My ribs were still really hurting and I didn't surf. I took photos of Larry and Matt. Got some really good shots. Matt was having a tough time getting into the surf. His hangover was not helping. Larry managed to get some massive rights and we all decided after viewing the photos that Larry has perfected the backside bottom turn. The waves were way overhead and barreling. We walked to the NSR surfshop to arrange the ride to the clinic for my ribs. I was offered the moto by the assistant in the office. It was tempting but I had no idea were it was and the last thing I needed to do was fall on a motorcylce in Nicaragua. I also heard Matt's infamous story "you guys want to see something amazing story." I ended up getting a ride to a clinic and and got some muscle relaxer and pain killers. It was $40 to get a ride and $25 for the clinic and pills. For dinner we ate pasta and then watched surf videos. We booked a boat trip to Manzanillo the next morning and were getting up at 5:00 AM. Matt shaved his facial hair into a fu man chu and asked Larry and I if he should keep it. That was a dumb question because he already knew that were we going to make him keep it. The night then led to a fu man chu photo session for the facebook album titled "fu man chu series." We played around with slow shutter speeds on my camera (Canon 7D and tokina fisheye lens) and got some awesome shots of the fu man chu. See Larry's facebook for the 20 photo portfolio.
