    Costa Rica

    Arrived Friday and staying in Playa Grande. Primarily came to surf the Pacific. At 68 yrs old thought I would get some good waves before I have to hang it up. Surfed Friday afternoon and had a blast. Unfortunately waves were only about 4feet high, but none the less I enjoyed it. Suppose to take a boat trip Sunday to Witches Rock. This is the famed spot featured in the movie Endless Summer 2. Might surf Ollie’s Point, named after Oliver North. Surf prediction calls for surf around 4-6 feet. Looking forward to it. The weather is nice, but in the evening we get significant thunder storms. Oh well. At least I made it Pura Vida as the saying goes.

    Sounds like a blast.
    Stayed just north of you last summer. Closer to coco beach.
    Have a great time. And good on you for making another ‘last trip’. Hope there are a few more left in your tank.
    We spent time at the beach but focused on the volcano hikes, river boat cruise (lots of crocs) and a hike over suspension bridges to tour a coffee plantation.

    Pura Vida!

      I love that little town. Depending on the swell there’s also a pretty fun little wave on the north side of the big rocks up the beach. Negra and avellanas are also worth the drive south if you get the urge to change it up.

        Lining up a boat trip to Witches Rock for Tuesday. Swell is supposed to pick up some, waves will be around 4-6 foot that day. Spoke to a few guys last night that surfed Saturday and they said it was head high and very fun.

            Hey my buddy runs one of the only licensed boats that runs to witches
            He has another secret spot that works when the tide swings...a great fast right rock/reef break.
            I was talking to him the other day and they have been getting swelll.
            Ollie's has changed in last few years it doesnt break the same as it used to...but witches is still a blast.

            If you haven't locked in your boat give him a ring...

              Haven’t locked in yet. Last night a lady said boat trip was $500. I’m by mysel & that would be hard on the wallet. She will let me know if trip gets planned with about 4 other guys. I’ll call Mario & see what he has going.
