Surfing and living in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast of Central America


Most of my time is spent in Costa Rica, Panama and the Caribbean.  Since my house and my office are in Tamarindo, I generally spend time on the breaks of Playa Langosta and south of Witch's rock surf club in the Tamarindo Estuary.  Weekends we try to visit Avellanas (my favorite beach), Marbella or Playa Grande.  Past surfing advertures include Bondi Beach, Surfer's Paradise (Aussi), La Jolla, Malibu, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Chicama, Baranca, Playa Venao, Pedasi, Santa Catalina, Cambutal, San Bartolo, Manuel Antonio, Vancouver Island and Ventura.  And of course...Ollie's Point and Witch's Rock!!!


My life finds me working corporate relations and VC.  However, when the tides are right, you will find me in the surf getting my excercise and developing my style on some of the local breaks like Cave Town, Pico Grande and Casitas.  


This site documents some of the breaks centered around Tamarindo, and any comments and input are much appreciated.  If you are looking for the blog / surf report, click here. 



Surfing comes first!

What's new?


The waves have been really quite good, with small summer swells now coming in at least once per week.  I update my blog as much as possible so make sure to subscribe to the updated surf reports for the Northern Costa Rican coast.

Surf  Rentals / Lessons


If you are looking to rent boards here, contact my friends listed on  my links page or email me for a recommendation.   I don't work in the surfing industry so I am very neutral.


If you are looking for private lessons, let me know as I know some really good teachers.  And beginners - puleeeze take a lesson before paddling out there.  They will teach you things from surfing etiquette, safety moves to always looking behind you when taking a wave.
