Living in Tamarindo

When I first started packing to move to Costa Rica I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my long board skate boards. I knew Costa Rica had awful roads, majority of which were dirt. For whatever reason I decided to pack them up with my surf boards and bring them along for some slim chance of finding a paved road.

After about a month of living here I finally found a place to move in to long term. All the roads leading up to the place and surrounding were dirt. But after doing some exploring wouldn’t you know it I found some paved roads. What was even more ridiculous is that I found paved downhill roads. The setup was absolutely perfect for downhill skateboarding.  Read more... (210 words, estimated 50 secs reading time)

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)
