Tip asked me about my trip so I figured I would post up a couple quick photos.
Have never had Costa on my radar really after hearing how touristy it has become. Loved El Salvador and Hawaii was fun because I was with some locals and got to surf some spots I probably would not have been able to. Was pretty impressed with the Nicoya Peninsula. ALOT of breaks that not crowded. Surfed Samara area and Mal Pais area. Wildlife Refuge near samara Took the GoPro out on a small day to mess around. Traveled down to surf Santa Teresa area. The "low tide" road to Santa Teresa Surfed Playa Carmen at hightide fun mid break to shorebreak a little crowded since it was the obligatory sunset surf session for surfers and beach goers alike. Was able to snag waves with the locals since some of the other traveller surfers were afraid of taking off in front of the rocks an a bit timid of the shorebreak. It felt like home. Kinda like old school boardwalk with a little extra thump. One wave I got pitted lost BOTH eye contacts in the barrel came out schwacked the lip and rode it to the sand. And got a some Tico hoots from the beach. Florida boyz ain't skeered of shorebreak! Santa Teresa (Not my pics) I am in love with that break!! Beautiful beach and wave. Our wives loved the set up for relaxing on the beach. ++ Nice trees and overhang plus nice sand etc. While out in the water chatting I ended up meeting JCARDER from 2ndlight forum?! He lived in Melbourne awhile back and is now a local there and had the spot wired. After the wind the picked up a little. ------------------------- Time and tide wait for no one.....
