We want to remind Subaru Pacific South Bay Surf Series competitors that @casalabarra_surfresort is donating 2 spots to be raffled off amongst the 1st Place Division winners at our End of Season Party. Don’t miss a contest if you are in the running!

The last time we were fortunate enough to have these was quite awhile ago. Recognize the 2 raffle winners @daniel.boos and @jonny_herrouin ? Aren’t they adorable? 😜 Check out Daniel’s barrel at one of the spots walking distance from the resort. 📷 @stevegaffney

Thank you very much @casalabarra_surfresort !!!! We love Nicaragua and your special place!

Really cool feature from @surfline on our own @eco.byry. It’s global recycling day today (3/18) so what better way to connect with a guy who understands sustainability and is working every day to push our pastime further in that direction!

“Don’t be scared to be bold and different and forge your own path!

Protect Our Oceans = Protect Our Planet. Think circular…a circular economy is better than the current linear and disposable one. No more buy it and throw it away. That’s why it’s urgent we start using our trash and upcycling! As surfers, we see the direct impacts of urban runoff and plastic pollution. That’s why I’m building a recycling and Educational Center of Sustainability in Surf (The ECOSS).” — @eco.byry
