Nicaragua March 2011 – riding the 5’11” Ripstick
Kaimanu and Hank Gaskell in Nicaragua
We made mission down to Nicaragua this past March for a quick trip and to look into the Nicaraguan organic clothing industry as well. Hank, Troll, CJ Drummy, and myself with our filmer and photographer had a good time and enjoyed the local culture.
Riding my 5’6″ Grouch, same board as I’m holding above. Good shortboards and fish shapes are key for Nicaragua with a lot of good but not big waves.
Mingling with the bustle of everyday life in the towns of places like this open your mind. I really enjoy being obscure and anonymous in other countries, its such a diverse world out there its great breathe foreign air and just cruise.
