Working in Nicaragua has been such a dream. Good waves, amazing fruit, tons of sun, and bikini weather every day. The trick is picking the right bikini. When the waves are small it doesn’t make much of a difference, but when it’s kinda pumping you better hope your bikini stays on. It’s really been a constant struggle to find a cute one that will stay on. It sucks when your duck diving a ten wave set and your bum is showing.
One day we wake up and decide to go for a surf. It’s a gorgeous morning and the waves had been cute and little all week. I put my Mi Ola bikini and my sunscreen on and we head out. We pull up and to my surprise there are waves! I’m waxing my board watching wave after wave peel through. Frothing! That day the friends and I spent nearly three hours surfing. Duckdiving sets, speeding down the line, charging the big ones and taking drops some of which I made, and some of which I didn’t. My only “complaint” after this sesh was too much sun on my face. No bikini rash, no adjusting, no mooning or flashing the fellow surfers. I was so stoked I had picked that bikini for that day. Now, if I know there’s going to be some waves and I am going to be spending some time in my bikini I go straight to my Mi Ola.
