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

Welcome to the surfing site hosted by me, Patrick Smyth - this is the sister wite of my new website www.whistler.tc while I live in Whistler British Columbia.

A lot of my time has been spent in Costa Rica, Panama and the Caribbean.  I generally spent time on the breaks of Playa Langosta and south of Witch's rock surf club in the Tamarindo Estuary.  Weekends we tryied 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, and I have moved to Whistler to launch Ross' Gold.  I have become a pretty awesome snow boarder while I wait to return to surf world!

This site documents some of the breaks centered around Tamarindo, and any comments and input are much appreciated.
