My youngest son Happy Zephyr Walsh is going to turn 1 year old on Sunday. How did that happen? Oh, so that means Otis is almost 3? That probably explains why I can hold at-length conversations with him on the phone these days. Wow. For those of you that are here in town, please feel free to come by the surf camp this Sunday at 2PM for Happy’s birthday party. There will be snacks and …
http://www.youtube.com/get_playerHere is one of my many rights that peeled across the reef at high tide. We surfed all afternoon long, literally from around 1pm until the sun went down. I think I had about 20 or 30 waves exactly like this one. Fun, open rights that were meant for carving on a retro fish. Thank goodness I happened to bring my retro fish! There were giant whales further out to sea breaching, giant sprays could …
Well, at least I learned from my blog the other night that there are a lot of people out there operating on my frequency. I’ve had a couple of encounters in the last couple of days, in the water, with people I’ve never seen before despite having lived here for 8 years. Someone drops in on you when you’re surfing, there isn’t much you can do. Instead of getting upset, hold your breath and count …
If you were in the surf camp this week, you might have seen me if you looked in the office. I was pretty much sitting at the computer from sun-up to sun-down. Wait, I was there until way after sun down. I surfed every day from Sunday until today with the exception of Wednesday (yes I’m keeping track), but besides the daily surf session I was working from when I woke up until I went …
trying to record an audio surf report with Tico Hendrix playing downstairs…
I’m back in Tamarindo, today was a long day. Actually it has been a long week. In the last seven days I hosted the CNS Red Bull surf contest at the surf camp, led a surf tour to Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa de Jaco, and then San Jose. I flew to Orlando to the surf expo, back again to Costa Rica three days later. As soon as I landed back at the surf camp I …
Here I again sit in the airport, this time in San Jose Costa Rica. The last four days has been a whirlwind tour of Costa Rica. This last weekend we (the surf camp) hosted the CNS surf tournament in Tamarindo. Marcela and Hazel really did a good job at overseeing everything and helping coordinate with the CNS, the judges, the 911 radio station and their dj, Red Bull, etc etc. The party was pretty fun …
I’ve been back at the surf camp since Monday night, approximately 75 hours ago. I’ve surfed the Tamarindo Rivermouth twice, today and Tuesday, and yesterday I surfed Marbella in the morning. Waves have been fun, definitely warmer than SD. been writing quite a few emails and making phone calls to set up the surf contest this weekend. Its going to be a pretty big event. The local radio station 91.1 is broadcasting the contest live …
Hello world, its me again. Yes, I’ve been “underground” lately. I’ve been trying to take some time off from the Internet. Yes, it was one of the busiest weeks of the surf camp’s year this last week and I’ve been in California celebrating the holidays with my family. What have I been up to lately? hmmm, let me think…. OK, first off, this week I found myself in Rite Aid buying a pregnancy test for …
