This is what I sent out to my posse back in the day to organize a surf trip:


I took a year off from surf tripping and went to Ireland instead. So 2013 is SURF TRIP. What I am looking for from you is some General Indication Of Interest ( GIOI). My reasoning for the 2013 scenarios I will give you is as follows.
After taking several trips to Nica I want something else besides rice and beans. I'm going to propose as one of my scenarios; Costa Rica. Some will say, oh yea well that is just beans and rice.

So here are the scenarios:

Time frame: May 11-18, 2013

#1 Scenario: Tamarindo Costa Rica

ok so it's not a remote Island reef pass. I have not been there. There are lots of good breaks within walking distance and plenty of others by car or boat. There is a flight with one stop from Orlando to Liberia. From there it is 1 hour by vehicle to the beach. There are plenty of rental boards available saving the expense and hassle of board transport. I want lodging with a kitchen, plenty to look at. I want the "town "amenities.
The cost looks like this:
Airline: $650
Lodging: $200
Board rent: $125
Food and misc.: $350
Ground transport: $120

Total: around $1500 +/-

#2 Scenario: Hawaii, stay on south shore

I went a few years ago. If you consider yourself a surfer, it is mandatory. Just felt like I belong there. There are plenty of good breaks within walking distance and many more by car. There is a one stop flight from Orlando to Honolulu. From there I would rent a Jeep. It's great to drive around with the top down. Last time I went I was in the water by 5am and out at 11. Plate lunch, nap and back on it or touring the Island. If the military boyz will go, we can get the Hale Koa Hotel. Primo beach front 5-star resort at unbelievable price. For this the cost looks like:

Airline: $680
Lodging: $240
Board Rent: $90
Food and misc: $450
CAR: $120

Total: Around $1600 +/-


Here is what I want from you. I want to know your GIOI. So, answer accordingly.



____1. Not responding at all. Basically, what you are saying is: Hey JB fuck you, stop sending me your stupid bull shit about surfing.

____2. Yea this is something I am interested in. I will give you a definite answer by Jan 15, 2013.

____3. I am interested and I prefer Costa Rica
____4. I am interested and I prefer Hawaii

____5. I don't give a shit where or when just sign me up!


so let me know if you have any questions, I prefer you go, but frankly I'm going with or without you and I will bombard you with pics to make you feel really bad that you didn't go, if ya don't

JB

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.
