A Nicaragua surf trip can only mean one thing.  Offshore winds and good times. Last month, Matt and Margaret Calvani were able to get away with some friends, clients and vendors for some surf, good company, and a little old fashion relaxation. Figuring out what board to ride must have been quite the dilemma.  Photos courtesy of Petter Toremalm & Linn Lundgren from www.SunshineStories.com
