Nicaragua 2012 - Day 1

After 12 hours of traveling (airline delays and long car rides) we finally made it to Nica. Our driver, Elvis, made sure we knew he was not the rock and roll Elvis. He had a small taxi car and we had to strap our boards to the roof. They needed adjustment half way through the drive. We stopped at Pali for groceries and there was no peanut butter. Vince and I will have to make due with PB cliff bars. Our Condo is on the North side of the beach and we are staying in A-9, right next to the pool. We hopped on a boat and headed to Manzanillo to surf the spot while there is still West swell in the water. It was fun with head high sets rolling in. We were the only guys out. Mateo from Tica Time is hooking up the whole trip this week and he joined us in the water after taking some water shots with his camera and water housing. The wind was really side shore at panga drops and Colorado, but it was really offshore (almost too much) at Manzanillo. We met some of the people staying in the condos around us. There is a group of younger guys from Venezuela and a family from florida on both sides of us.
