Visit Nicaragua

Nicaragua is poor
in terms of monetary abilities.
But it is rich in all other ways.
Though 40% of the people live under the
international poverty line,
they rank within the top ten
of the world's Happy Planet Index.
This means,
 they are some of the happiest people of the world.

I promise. It is true. There is a lot of love. And good waves.

This shot is made on playa Maderas, Nicaragua.

The wave breaks pretty much the whole time, 

with 330 days of offshore wind and 

some magnificent ground swell.
