The first hurricane of the season to bring some solid swell to the East Coast is Joaquin!
I got to surf Wabasso with a nice crew of Bodybaorders from all over Florida. Waves were 3-5 ft with nice glassy conditions. I got some nice barrels including this one!

The East Coast has been having waves for few days and after a long time, we decided to go to Sebastian Inlet, it's been a while since last time I got this spot in good conditions, it was a fun day to be honest with you.

The paddle to Outer Reef Popoyo, this day that break was going off, probably one of the biggest surf I've had in a while! We have surfed few different spots, but this was special, first of many trips to Nicaragua!Al Rumboshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349473828784133278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845825837834897666.post-71813153191536262592015-09-04T16:35:00.000-07:002015-10-05T16:36:16.523-07:00Nicaragua<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ootO97sV6Hk/VhMI-TJPK4I/AAAAAAAABW4/pMpTCwe6NXY/s1600/Nica1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ootO97sV6Hk/VhMI-TJPK4I/AAAAAAAABW4/pMpTCwe6NXY/s320/Nica1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jvNCOcVajVU/VhMJAshJz9I/AAAAAAAABXA/AcXZRXHqdS0/s1600/Nica7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jvNCOcVajVU/VhMJAshJz9I/AAAAAAAABXA/AcXZRXHqdS0/s320/Nica7.jpg" /></a></div>

Nice to see the Gulf waking up this early for a nice swell! Surfing at home it's priceless! even when I couldn't get a shot, you can appreciate the waves in this pictures.
Maybe this is a sign for the hurricane season!Al Rumboshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349473828784133278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845825837834897666.post-87441473838371923482015-06-02T08:41:00.001-07:002015-06-02T08:41:24.679-07:00Sequence<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bXCkXBH3B5k/VW3N6ZfGWcI/AAAAAAAABV0/oOVVBy5UoTs/s1600/Al%2BRumbos.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bXCkXBH3B5k/VW3N6ZfGWcI/AAAAAAAABV0/oOVVBy5UoTs/s320/Al%2BRumbos.JPG" /></a></div>
This is a nice sequence that I finally put together from my last trip to Hawaii. This spot is called Log Cabins on the North Shore, right before Off the Walla and Pipeline. This day was epic, 8-10 ft waves, glassy and super fun barrels!
Hope to be back someday!Al Rumboshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349473828784133278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845825837834897666.post-30177684974341510432015-04-06T04:42:00.000-07:002015-04-16T04:44:39.576-07:00Villano Beach<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bd35OTlOkgg/VS-f-Y3inSI/AAAAAAAABU4/dKd0eF-fquM/s1600/Villano.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bd35OTlOkgg/VS-f-Y3inSI/AAAAAAAABU4/dKd0eF-fquM/s320/Villano.jpg" /></a></div>
After many years living in Florida, finally got the chance to surf this spot in St Augustine area in North Florida.
It was not the best day out there, but you can tell you can find some nuggets all day long, can't wait to surf this spot in epic conditions. The best part of this day was spending this session with friends that I haven't seen in a while!Al Rumboshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349473828784133278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845825837834897666.post-28918725085869336562015-02-26T05:15:00.000-08:002015-03-01T05:16:03.722-08:00The Gulf!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F8W50VWCAQc/VPMQdU5BpKI/AAAAAAAABUg/5kIuB7EP5pc/s1600/Gulf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F8W50VWCAQc/VPMQdU5BpKI/AAAAAAAABUg/5kIuB7EP5pc/s320/Gulf.jpg" /></a></div>
I have to be honest, this winter season has not been the best one in the Gulf, but today the waves were pumping!
Not really big, but super mega fun! I think I got barreled in every single waves, no joke! I was totally surfed out by the time the sun came down, so stoked to surf at home at my favorite spot!

We got a strong noreaster cold front that made it all the way down to South Florida, so I decided to head down there to catch some waves. Not only they were good, but also a lot warmer!
Palm Beach has its days and this was one of those! waves were alt least 6 ft plus and glassy, paddle was a bitch but we had fun!
One of the thing that I appreciate the most about surfing is the friendship you build. Waves can be crap, but if you are hanging out with your friends, it makes it all much better!
