You'll be pleased to know that its bucketing down here, and the surf is rubbish :roll:

Can you bring back some sunshine and a cheeky barrel? One each? :lol:

Gnarly vacation! Over head high and clean today, been getting more than my fair share of sand and seaweed and some cool waves too.

so the first time I log onto SW for months to gloat about the fact that I'll be home next month surfing, and the first thing I see is my bloody shaper (and an excellent one at that) is rippin it up in Costa!

Hope you're enjoying it... I'm not enjoying the lack of waves in the Med!

One rather famous rock! Swell was head high on sets and fooking hell is it a powerful wave. It's like a freight train when it comes through.

Me just about to rip it up and rather excited.

Flying into tamarindo in a single seater!

Image


And here's the landing strip and it is just like in the movie. One bad ass hairy landing.

Image

Surf has been well overhead and hollow for the last three days although it's dropped now to more my kind of size! Been pracitising how to mc twist and have learned that my usual late take off is not a good idea here!
Still had some awesome waves and found a secret point break to ride when it gets big.
Been riding a 7ft thruster much like the one i made for paul and its going well. Was on a 7ft 6 single fin in tamarindo.

Hope the swell good whereevr you guys are. It's forecast to get bigger here again for the weeknd.

Pura vida!
