Tamarindo Costa Rica

I just got back from doing a recon mission down in Costa Rica. I was looking for places to stay and also searching out information in regards to having our second child down there. The private hospitals in Costa Rica are top notch, medical tourism is on the rise and many gringos are starting to [...]

tico time

pura-vida

As much as this town as changed, I know that I have changed with it.

I am missing my girls and boy, so I sat and listened to a song about a girl named Sofia that looks at the sun to remember her loved ones.

Surf Talk

My niece and nephew are in town for the next few days while their parents, my brother and his wife, are at a conference in Murrietta. Amanda is 16 and Justin is 11, they are both nice to have around because we don’t get to spend as much time with them as we use to [...]

first week in the Caribbean

I guess what makes this first week in the Caribbean just that much sweeter hit me when I was talking to our friend and house sitter in San Diego the other day to get caught up on what was happening while we were [...]

La Isla del Encanto

Lyndsey, Eli and I are taking off a week from Monday for the holidays. It will be a vacation work holiday experiment all wrapped up into one. We are leaving on Nov. 22 and coming back after the new year. I will be working while I am down there, but I do plan on taking [...]

Kevin captured some video that we have kept over the years. Last year we [...]

Localism 101

Trestles Trail South OC

After running into disgruntle locals the other day at Sunset Cliffs it got me thinking about the topic of  localism, and how it works with Surfing. Many people are fascinated by surfing and the art of riding waves, but until they strap that leash on and attempt to catch a wave, [...]

Close Call, Another Day in Paradise

I had the funniest thing happen to me this morning. I only call it funny now on account of how it turned out, but while it was taking place I was rather perplexed for a moment. I had just got out of the water after having a pretty fun session at [...]

Just Can't Get Enough

Eli is starting to get use to laying on his belly, so we thought that it would probably be a good idea that he get use to lying on a surfboard.

He took to it pretty easy, almost too easy…it wasn’t long before he started giving the dog and chickens dirty looks almost as to say, [...]

Rain and Waves

Southern California has been getting hit pretty hard with some storms and surf. I clipped this image from a swell chart this morning.

For the most part the surf has been pretty much un-rideable due to the howling winds and rain. However a handful of locals knew where to go the other day when the winds [...]
