Living in Tamarindo

That’s what they said when me and 3 of my friends decided to take a boat trip up to Witches Rock and Ollies Point.

For those of you not familiar with either of these spots, they are probably the most well know surf spots in the northern pacific coast region of Costa Rica. In order to get to either spot you need to take a boat. Typically what most people do is drive up to Coco beach from Tamarindo and hop a boat from there. Coco is about an hour from Tamarindo by car. The boat from Coco to each spot is about an hour to an hour and a half. Below is a map that will help provide better detail.  Read more... (1437 words, 12 images, estimated 5:45 mins reading time)

Hey Gang,

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth the last 5 months. Just been extremely busy. It’s been difficult to find the time to write.

Here’s a quick video of our new place that we moved into back in February. We moved to a Langosta vacation rental which is the neighboring village to Tamarindo. We ended up trading our 2 bedroom for a 1 bedroom 30 yards from the beach. It’s heaven on earth. Hope you enjoy the video. Sorry it’s a little shaky.

When I first decided to pick up everything and move to Costa Rica I was slightly scared. Like anybody would be I suppose heading off into the unknown: foreign country, no foreseen address, no car, don’t speak the language, no cell phone, and NOT KNOWING ANYONE. All those great unknowns make the adventure what it is ….exciting!  Read more... (1181 words, estimated 4:43 mins reading time)

I’ve been here for a little over a year now and I’ve yet to do anything that doesn’t involve the beach. It’s a little hard to explain but if I’m not surfing on the weekend I feel like I’m missing out on something.

I liken it to the days when I was drinking. I always had to be out and involved in whatever madness was happening for the evening. I was always the last to leave the bar because I knew for a fact that when I left all the blonde and brunette bombshells in town would show up topless and drinks would be on the house. Make sense??  Read more... (503 words, 5 images, estimated 2:01 mins reading time)

Ok so it’s not that explicit but I thought I’d put the warning out there for me madre. Sorry mom if you are about to read this but yes your son thought it would be absolutely hysterical to dress up head to toe in a penis suit for Halloween.

Only Way to Roll...Erect!

And man was it funny. I’ve never had a better time dancing to old school 80′s rock music than being completely covered in a penis suit. Let’s just say I was a fan favorite of the ladies for the night.
