I hurt my back on Wednesday, surfing the South Mission Jetty. The waves were really really good. I was stretching on the beach, I felt a little sore which was strange because I hadn’t surfed in three days. I paddled out and caught 4-5 waves. Each time I felt a little off, until finally the last wave I was sure there was something no bueno with my back. As I got to the beach my …

Well, it took me an extra day to get that out. I have to remind myself that its only a game, and that the Chargers and how they play is completely out of my control. I watch tv commercials of guys screaming at their tvs during football games and figure that we’re programmed as men to act this way. As I write this I’m sitting on my deck in San Diego. Holly and Otis have …

My dad was so nervous for the entire game, half time at my house was probably as intense as half time in the Chargers locker room. Muzzy was there, Otis was there, ma and suegra were there, I was there. Another day to be a proud Charger fan I guess. This morning I felt like such an old f$ck as I got instant messaged ttyl bfn and I was like, what the hell was that. …

Yeah, thats exactly what I said. I need the help of everyone reading this blog. Holly and I used to live in Langosta, remember? Well, we moved to Avellanas, though we thought we’d fix up the Langosta place (which we did), now its ready to rent out but I’m over it. I would rather keep my focus on the surf camp and it is simply too much work for me. The property is a three …

I didn’t take into consideration the fact that it is November, and that Chicago might be a little bit colder than I had expected. Its freezing, they’re expecting snow. woo hoo. I got in to my hotel after 1am, after an interesting flight from Houston on one of those tiny express jets where people like me can’t stand up straight. Next to me was this three-generation family from Mississippi going on an airplane for the …

For all this global warming going on, I guess I got it stuck in my head that it was always hot. Probably something to add to that way of thinking is the fact that I’ve been living in Central America for so long. I haven’t snowboarded for years and am getting excited to go ride soon. Matt might fly up from Tamarindo and meet me, and yesterday my dad asked me if I wanted to …

My head is literally spinning from my last two weeks in Costa Rica. Unlike before, I was actually living at the surf camp. This will be really nice in the future when I’m coming down to CR every other week or ten days here or a long weekend there. I’m changing the upstairs area above the bar, the “original wrsc rooms”. I have my office there, the Skybox, but it is so full of crap …

It was like when I woke up today, someone had fixed the ocean. It was bright blue and the waves were peeling perfectly off of the new sandbars formed by the tremendous rains we experienced this season. Even after I surfed I watched the waves on the WRSC web cam while having breakfast. Check out this photo that I took of the Tempisque River this morning. Water levels rose above the bridge, which is estimated …
