I’ve really enjoyed myself on this trip to the surf camp. After having spent a couple of months re-acclimating to life by US standards, it was refreshing to get back to Central America. I haven’t really even left WRSC the entire time I’ve been here. Why would I, except for the daily surf sessions out in front. I totally lied to you about the web cam. It is now Tuesday morning and it still hasn’t …
Houston has some nice white trash bars where I feel right at home. As I depart for Costa Rica Saturday morning, hung over, I don’t realize that the stars have aligned. Good luck seems to follow me a little bit. For example, it has been raining TONS in Costa Rica, literally more rain than in the last 30 years. Then I show up, and it stops, and now is totally sunny and beautiful and I …
Sometimes, when I’m in Costa Rica and I need to get away, I’ll drive to San Jose and check myself into the best western irazu for a week or so. I’ll get a ton of projects accomplished, mainly because I’m away from the rest of the world. The only downside is that I miss my family, but the upside means that I’m usually burnt and ready to take some time off and travel/surf/hang with my …
Matt Krasnovsky, Food & Beverage Director, and Colin Briers, Reservations & Sales Director, are two of my top guys at the surf camp. Wouldn’t it be ironic that their birthdays are only a day apart? Yesterday Matt had his birthday, and today marks one year that, on Colin’s last birthday, I called him up from my van in South Carolina (don’t ask me why I was in South Carolina, its a long story) and asked …
I finally have spare time. I went to Trader Joe’s and bought groceries, I went to the YMCA and swam laps. I’m sitting at the table with “the Biggest Loser” tv show on. Holy crap it is funny to be back in America and actually pay attention to the tv. Those Geico cavemen even have their own show. America kills me. My back has been a bit sore, probably because I’m an old man now …

I’m happy to say that we made it through LA without hitting any serious traffic, we’re about a half hour from Rincon. I hoped we don’t get skunked…
Wow, of course a lot always happens, not just to me but to all of us. I just happen to write about most all of it. The last few days have been no exception. The one thing that sucks is that I happen to be a very big San Diego Charger fan, and this year is just falling apart a little bit more each week. It didn’t help that the Padres fell apart last week, …
