A few weeks ago we added what we thought was a interesting site to our blogroll. It is called Tamarumors and is about rumors that are about Tamarindo. Pretty straight forward. We have received many emails from readers saying that the site is documenting rumors that are exactly that “rumors”
In other words, what these readers are saying is that by Surfinjaco.com linking to this site gives that site credibility. Another common complaint was, or it seems coming from Tamarindo residents that our site is only linking up to that site in hopes of making Jaco Beach sound better than Tamarindo. more…
tamarindo better than jaco beach
I found this article(see below) on another Costa Rica blog site. It is interesting that the article came out when it did since our last article is dealing with the very notion of corrupted officials taking bribes and not enforcing the law but reinforcing their pocketbooks and reputations. With the recent scandal and public exposure of Esterillos criminal attack of Patricia and the story another human being Kytka being attacked by the same man Steve Bucelato, who were treated like animals in their attack and the police have yet to act. I can assure you that if it was the policemans daughter who was raped and beaten, this would not be a hush hush situation nor would it be a big one either because the police would deal with it swiftly. Why is it different when it comes to foreigners? Why are foreigners regarded differently? It is easier for Costa Rica to deport a tourist or resident than deal with the problem. more…

The last couple of Thursdays there has been a big beach football game going on out in front of the surf camp. Nick Holt, Bill Brandenberger, Patrick Brennan, Lock Cooper, quite a few others… it has been super fun. Everyone I’ve talked to since was super sore after the game. We are turning into old men. Not only did I get sore but I pulled my groin the first week and barely made it through the second week. Pretty much its been ten days without surfing, finally today I felt normal today, even made it through a 3 mile run on the beach. I’m not sure but I think we’ll be playing football again tomorrow?? Check my facebook page or ping Mike Gerhardt from FT’s or Kelly Zak since they’re the ones who own a football. And what about that Sunday night game against the Colts?? GO CHARGERS!!!
Waves are flat but they should get a little bigger over the next few days. Bocas del Toro has been on fire the last two weeks but with the holidays and all of our friends in town we wanted to stay close to home. Tomorrow I have a 20 minute speech to give at JW Marriott in front of about 200 people. I spent all day yesterday trying to write it, which I’ve subsequently torn up. I’m supposed to have visuals to go with it… then on Sunday night the whole event (called Awesomeness Fest) will have a beach party in the new park at WRSC. I think I’m going to spend the day painting the two surfboards we just glassed, or start glassing the two 8’0s waiting in the shaping room. The speech will work itself out, just like everything else does, I’m a little burnt out trying to write something I’ll just end up winging anyways, and its not until 6pm so I have all day tomorrow to worry about it… Shawna asked me to shape a surfboard for her son Lucas, who I’ve known since he was born. I was honored, its the first surfboard I’ll be making for someone else. People have asked me to shape them a board at least a dozen times since I started shaping a few months ago, but I’ve declined to take any orders because we still have a lot of refining to do (that feeling will probably never end). To shape a board for a local grom that I’ll get to watch grow up surfing along with my boys, thats an offer one just can’t refuse. Thats what surfing is all about.
